Metal guards very hard to get now. Personally, the plastic ones look fine to my eyes. Even the old 66 and 75 had them. Fooled me for a long time.Yes but I wouldn't call that festooned

To avoid disappointment buy a 95 or 80.

Hmmm it would appear to be the case, I did handle one of the new Walther's back when they first came out and absolutely loved the quality of the metal work, just sublime, unfortunately that's about where it ended there was various things about the rifle I didn't like at all namely the sheer mass of the thing which just killed any hopes of it ever being a functional stalking rifle unless your of huge build. I think it might have to be another HW95.To avoid disappointment buy a 95 or 80.

Anyone know what the difference is between the HW85 and HW95? I thought the 85 was discontinued but the still seem to be selling them and the specs seem to be identical to the 95

The more recent 85's differ from the Mk1's and are basically the same as the 95 but usually have open sights. A slightly different stock in some cases. I have the later gun but actually prefer the Diana 34.Anyone know what the difference is between the HW85 and HW95?

yup, and the old original 85s had a screw in end block, not those 4 annoying little square "tiles" to secure it. On the downside though they had a lump cut out of the rear skirt of the piston to clear the underside of the raised scope ramp bolts.
Swings and roundabouts.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

Yes I suppose that all they do is add weight
Anyway here is a pic of both.
Even better looking than a HW35
I personally can't see what the problem is with a placky guard and end cap, it's when it's things like the trigger that things get a bit worrying, some of the Airsporters had placky trigger blades and you could feel them bending when you pulled it.

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

Didn't the fwb sport have a plastic .errrr.......trigger ? or summat .?
probably nowt wrong with a plastic part ........but there's just something metal that feels right .
maybe us metal fans are a bit old school and need to 'get down wit da modern materialz innit.'

Hi Scorpy
Snap buddy, as Ive just returned to a springer after to many years away from them, I wanted a breakbarrel due to a messed up left shoulder(yes bike crash) But after shooting a good few springers at my local range, allsorts of tuned, classic and out the box stuff I chose the airarms TX200, Its an underlever I know and you're going to need a scope but its a peice of engineering for sure and shoots so well, I put a scope on mine and zeroed at 30yds I was soon getting 10 shot groups no bigger than a poundcoin, there simple to work on and lots of tuning products if you so desire
