Halloween Boinger Bash, 28th/29th October --- Event and Payment Details

[TonyL]

Ok, enough girly stuff (cos I'll just blubber like a girly). Back to airguns. My HW80 (did I mention it is in .25 ?) which I am loving, rattles when I shake it (easy lads), it is 'loose' where the cocking arm linkage meets just under the breech at the fore end, it's not causing an issue but just annoying as none of my HW's rattle ? Maybe shims missing as there are none there ??

Yep, it's not something that's ever bothered me matey, but some nice little Delrin shims would be the way to go (and a few have done so before).

OMG I've just realised it's Chris Baldinios Birthday today too

Happy Birthday mate, I hope you've had a great one. Tried ringing you but just get Voicemail

WAHAY!

Happy Birthday, Chris. Hope you're enjoying a most excellent one, matey.

Oh so it's 'usual' then ? Just 80's is it ?, none of my others do it. As long as it's not a 'problem' to be concerned about, I will happily leave it why just HW80's though, unless there's others

Pray tell Graham, what did he bugger that I missed

Not unusual for springers to rattle a bit in the cocking linkage, I've had various AA & HW do it.

Nothing to worry about; advisable to keep all bearing points, pins, rivets, bolts, cocking shoes, cocking levers, piston slots, etc. well greased or oiled as necessary to minimise wear, which may be a contributary factor, along with production tolerances, etc.

Thanks for that Ted I know the chap who owned it before me had it kept very well and wondered if a couple of shim washers may have been overlooked on reassembly, you know.... those bits leftover that you wonder where they came from
