I quite fancied a 30s but not anymore. As much as I love HW's I quickly flipped a newish 95 and 99, had qc issues with my 97 from Holland which I still own along with two 90's which are excellent and a battered old 35 export that shoots very nice. Ready this thread reminds me of reading about the qc of a smk b2 costing £40 new, not nearly £200. In my mind you might as well buy a Remington express or hatsan 60/55 do less work and end up with a cracking gun for a third of the price, I know I've done it.
What I don't understand surely the machining is more precise with cnc etc now than 30 years ago, when human error was more a possibility?
