    HW95K cocking

    Can anyone who have run some thousand pellets through the HW95K verify that there's no problem cocking it by gripping around the moderator? I ask because it's awfully hard to cock it with that shortened barrel.

    The barrel thread is double the length for that very reason.

    That's a very reassuring answer Murphy.

    Best practice is two fingers on the silencer and two fingers on the barrel.

    I removed the silencer from mine and it's still a piece of cake to cock

    The op is from Norway though, so no restrictions on power levels, maybe 12ftlbs+?

    Drilled out the transfer port on mine and put in lighter spring, easier to cock, very smooth on firing. I originally did this as I was loosing the sight picture through the scope on firing which is very annoying.

    Never heard of any power restrictions in Norway. Dont think it is. You have to be 18 Y and calibers larger than 4,5 just requires a simplified application.
    The "two-fingers" grip make sense..
