    Harper wolf

    Just wondering if anyone has any info on these beauties ?
    Do seem to remember the odd advert for these in some old mags I had .
    Two versions apparently - long and short , with as calibre options ?

    I have a rough pistol in .22 but it shoots fine with AA pellets seated in mag( otherwise they fall out )
    Still on the battery it came with 2 years ago.
    Fills off 1/8 bsp.
    Would buy another nicer one if I saw one local.

    They made a 5” and 7” pistol. A 14” and 18” rifle.
    The rifle had a re-moveable stock either Wood or skeleton
    I've never heard of a wooden grip for a pistol but they did a skeleton stock
    All were in 177, 22 and 25. The 177 seems to be rarer.
    They were supplied with a tool for inserting pellets.
    There was also a silencer which was next to useless.

    The tool is interesting.

    I couldn't find a pellet that would not jump out of the mag when you fired the pistol.
    I tried seating but didn't help until this week when I dug out a proper pellet seater and pushed AA 5.2s in with an audible click.
    Perfect.

    gingernut

    Glad you got sorted gingernut .
    I do not like the faff of pellet pushers but if Harper deliberately included one with each airpistol then ....and you have cracked it .

    A few years ago when I wasnt really in the know there was a.25 one for sale at a Bisley Arms Fair.
    I couldnt risk £500 on something neither I not the Trader knew much about!
    Be all over it now.
