unless the cylinder is very good, redoing just the barrel will look a little strange.
Coupe of small o-rings or plastic shims either side of the link pin should help with the rattle
The example I've picked up has certainly been used, but having had it apart seems pretty mechanically sound. Piston seal is still fairly white, breech seal might need replacing, but the spring was a bit wonky so I replaced it with one that I've got lying around that looked pretty similar (slightly larger ID and OD) and that's all fine but it is a bit twangier now though which I expect will be fixed with some delrin. Cocks more easily though and is now putting out 11+ rather than the 9 it was before.
Cosmetically though it is a bit of a puzzle. The stock is fine, a few dings and scratches but not abused, in fact it seems in better condition than the metalwork for it's age (20+ years). The main cosmetic issue is that it's pretty scratched all down the LHS of the barrel to the extent that I reckon I'd like it reblued. The question is, are guns like your house? Once you've decorated one room the rest looks a bit tired and then needs doing as well?
So if I'm going for a reblue, do I just get the whole action done or can I get away with just the barrel?
Thoughts?
...oh and is there a cure for the rattly cocking arm?
Thanks,
Rob.

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
The barrel on my Walther Century looked a bit rough (previous owners diy reblue) and I was going to get that reblued but ended up getting a TbT sleeve for it instead. Looks great and feels much nicer to shoot with the extra mass up front.
I have a ratty 95 but my atitude is worry about how it shoots.
I also have a ratty 80 will be collecting a ratty 35 at the bash all in. 22
My plan is to test them all against each other back to back and work out which is best for me if I find one stands out I could always get a better one or spend money making nicer.
Should say the internals are all tuned and c tricked up on all of them.
I also have a. 177 99 in very good condition as well as lots of other things.

The HW95 needs a face lift. 1. It needs a flush fitting breech block 2. A manual breech release lever(Omega style)
3. Safety warning sticker as opposed to engraved ugliness(this should apply to all HW range)
