Why doesn't the HW35 gall ....?

[Arthur John Smithsplease]

...... as much as the HW99s?

I know they can and do gall, but they don't seem to be associated with galling to the same degree as the 99s.

I suppose I could ask the same question about the HW30s.

[rabbitwrecker]

Because God himself thought the HW35 was such a beautifully crafted rifle, he wouldn't allow it to eat itself?...

In my experience, the 30s is far more likely to suffer from the dreaded galling issue....

[NeilnrLincoln]

Yes, stripped my new 30s yesterday for a deburr & relube and it was already showing signs of a little galling after only 3-400 pellets.
Hopefully nipped it in the bud though & it does feel better for the attention.

Don't worry - Old 30s, 35s, 50s don't gaulle - Modern ones do de gaulle.

They do but not as bad & usually after the roller on the link has worn .

[Arthur John Smithsplease]

Thanks.

Do they come with the plastic insert too?

They do but not as bad & usually after the roller on the link has worn .

On the bad ones I've had, it's the little shaft running through the roller that has worn, Mick.

Once the shaft has worn far enough the roller drops into the cocking arm and then it all starts galling on the cylinder.



All the best Mick
