A nice old Girl the mk1 HW80 i managed to pick up a nice near mint condition HW80 MK1 in .22 cal serial number 940260 which makes it 1983 they are getting quite thin on the ground in nice condition i had to pay £300 to get her and travel well over 100 miles to collect her last November but well worth the effort Good luck game getter hope you manage to find one mate

I managed to pick up one new in 1982. Still have it.
Production run was from 1981 till mid 85 when the mk2 came out with the rounded off fore end. Still some about but most been messed with and stocks broke. A few knocking around on freeads but not mint!! Please note that HW produced the MK1 Stock in walnut. Had two thanks to venom arms back in the day but sold them...bugger...Mach 1.5
I now understand the craving, although wasn't fussed about another, having last owned a .177" 80 in 1982-4.
I was, however, fortunate to happen across a mint .22" from 1981 at last Nov's 'Boinger Bash' and felt compelled to dive in.
Jolly glad I did, she's lovely.
Good luck in your quest.
i have a made in germany one to
Manchester Air Guns imported 100 Beeman R1 air-rifles, the US version of the HW80 about the same time as the Mk 1 was released. It has a very nice standard stock. I have only seen one for sale secondhand, but there must be a few kicking around. The slabby Mk 1 was not as nice to hold, with its FWB Sport influences.
I will have one for sale in a few months sorry to say that is because it's away at vmach being put back together. Has been reblued not by Vmach but a very nice job all the same. 177 cal and an old venom action. If you have no luck? I'll give you a PM when it's returned. Mach 1.5
I have been told there will be one here
