    All the best Mick
    Im not saying they dont exist, Ive seen the early Venom (Trapshot Of Lythe ?) adverts, its just that Ive never seen one in the flesh.

    Right. That's it! I was going to say off this thread, but with the threat of the massed ranks of the tripe guzzler and whelk muncher lining up against me, I have no choice other than to declare that I have never liked the HW35.

    You may never see one, Cloggers. They exist but, by the time Venom started, the HW35 had been so comprehensively upstaged by the HW80, then the HW77, that comparatively few people wanted to throw money at the HW35.

    And again from 1984. Nice to see they recognise the superiority of the Luxus model over all others too as reflected by their pricing.

    Tinners doesn't like them 'cos he's too short for these manly rifles. His CoG is also a little... low?!

    An old mate of mine's favorite gun is a '35 Export - although he's about five foot nothing and left handed.

    Left handed must be a bit awkward with the barrel lock.

    He's also a bit of a wierdo to be fair.

    This Tinbum fella seems to have built a large part of his identity and world view on hating an inanimate object. Here in the states EVERYBODY loves the HW35 and we have it from the CIA that the Queen has one propped up in the corner of her closet, hidden from the rascally great grandkids. It is only a matter of time before young George finds it and starts popping sparrows from the battlements. LLtQ!

    LH is no problem on the 35 you'll be glad to hear. It was originally designed for lefties*, then they figured out if was ok for righties too.

    AA's TX wins the awkward prize, Mk 1 excepted of course.

    *probably

    Nope, I don't care about lefties.

    However, I've been trying to remove your first asterisk from my screen for five minutes. I thought it was a dirty mark.

    Its unusual to see the Deluxe priced more expensive than the Export. I have to admit liking the Export rounded shape over the (later) Deluxe squarer profile and lack of pistol grip cap. The earlier more rounded Deluxe is a different matter. https://imgur.com/tUwKRKi

    That Luxus is a beaut.
    I was having a look about for a HW30 for Sarah to use but I think she's going to end up with a Luxus that had a visit to Shaun at ISP.

    Obviously I might enjoy the odd shot with it too...

    Don't worry, young 'un, Jim's just trying to be all rebellious and anti-establishment. He was like this when those new-fangled horseless carriages first came along. It'll pass.
