Nice to see you rotating your MPL rifle collection Russ - they all need some exercise now and again - and the MPL is a great excuse to shoot them all !
I should follow your lead and dust the cobwebs off of some of my "hidden treasures" and see how I get on with them - but have enjoyed shooting the HW30S even though it is a bit too small for me and does nothing to help my damaged neck to feel comfortable!
My HW30S is such a lovely shooting little rifle, and my example is as smooth as silk with a lovely trigger - I wonder if I can find a larger size stock to fit it into?
Has anyone tried to fit the HW30S mech into a different stock ? - it would be perfect in an HW98 stock with the adjustable cheek peice

Bob,
For the first time, I think, I have used a non-springer rifle
I cannot see why the HW30S could not be fitted into another stock - all that would be needed would be some semi-circular spacer pieces fitted into the new stock, front and rear, and a block to allow the front mount to work.
For a very cruel solution, the action could be glued in place - like my Diana 35 !!!
Food for thought and experiment
Have fun & a good Sunday

If I can find an HW98 stock I think I will "bite the bullet" and give it a serious try!......but I am not too hopeful about finding one of these as I have not seen any advertised.
One of the other HW break barrel stocks would probably work just as well, but would not have the elegant adjustable cheek piece that I would like to have - but it would give me the extra length that I think would help the rifle fit me better.
Cutting the stock and fitting a spacer would also work - buy it may not look as nice!
The HW30S action is quite small so I am expecting to have some space to fill around it when I drop it into a stock that was designed for a bigger action. Your idea regarding the spacers etc would have to be used - but I may also try bedding the action in - if possible!
The full bore lads often bed their actions into other stocks ( the Walther laminated Anatomic stock is very popular) so I would like to find out what sort of filler paste they use to do this with . If it can survive the recoil of a full bore rifle, it should be OK on a break barrel air rifle!

Just shot the September cards with the 80k & it's new front sight & peep sight courtesy of Bob, not great scores but they didn't make me cry either !
Hi Rob,
Well done!
Can you send me some pictures of your HW80 with the dovetails please? I am guessing you had to remove the muzzle weight/silencer and replace it with something a bit more solid that could have the dovetails cut into, as the walls of the HW muzzle weight may be a bit too thin to cut them into?
Sounds like an idea I may be able to use on something else that I have in mind
We shot our October Supported Air Rifle targets last night - I forgot that I was already a month ahead - I had been trying to make some space to shoot my HW30S to catch-up with the MPL air rifle competition as I have only shot the July round to date (!)
Stay in touch!
