    Cool Airgunner HW35E

    Ooo-er, one for Tinbum here!

    The latest issue of Airgunner dropped through the letter box today. Loads and loads of good content as usual. And, like many of us have said in recent times, the magazine has gone from strength to strength under Phill's leadership.

    Now, I have only just managed to have a very quick flick through it so far, but it's obvious that Phill is well and truly smitten with his purchase of his new 35E. Going to keep it standard and on opens too and enjoy this superb, classic rifle in its purest form.

    Excellent; nice one, Phill.







    The stumpy one's going to be spewing!!

    I will be doing a three page special in Airgun Shooter on how to fit your HW35e into one small pencil case and two shoe boxes.

    It's been in the planning stage for years.

    I reckon you'll bottle it just at the point where you're about to commit heinous crimes to this most graceful of landmark air rifles, Nick, and appreciate its beauty and fine, classic lines.

    I could sell you a tube of Pritt-stik and some glitter to roll it in. Choice of colours available.

    Well just in case Nick ever did bottle it, I'll happily take over, I'd even put a new cutting disc in the angle grinder

    What size shoe box are we talking about anyway

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    It would be nice to pretend its a joke, that somehow this travesty of an airgun is something people should aspire to, but it's not.
    If they had ceased production in 1937 then maybe there would be a case for that, they didn't. They are still making it. In short it is shit. Properly shit. It looks shit, handles like shit and, well. Its just shit.

    I can't stresss enough how much of a waste of money this is unless you are really after a collectible from the past.

    I could never in good conscience recommend it to anyone I had any respect or affection for. There is a special page for owners, enjoy!

    Just my opinion of course.

    Herman didn't make his first air rifle until 1950. You can use that in your magazine if you want.

    So, when Uncle Mick and I "encouraged" you to have a go with one of his (this year's April Bash) that had been lightly tickled (5mm longer stroke and 'O' ring head if I remember correctly), I seem to recall that you were most impressed with it, especially the firing cycle.

    And I think you had to concede that, yes, they can shoot beautifully, just that you don't particularly like them personally? So, not making it a bad rifle, just personal opinion.

    I'd be more than happy to recommend one to anyone.

    Well Tinners old thing, I've racked my beleaguered brain to think of someone who stands a realistic chance of being more wrong than your good self, but I'm afraid this person just doesn't exist. Gerald Ratner, the chap who gave away The Beatles, Michael Fish the night before the great storm of '87, and everyone who uses 'of' instead of 'have' were candidates for a while, but the fact is, you're in a class of your own, mate. You are officially the wrongest person on this, or any, planet.

    Erm ... FACT!
