HW99 barrel choking

[mad man]

After everything bad I read online about cutting the barrel down and losing the choke and everyone say you wouldn't hit a barn door with it . So I cut the barrel down anyway and theaded it for a mod then fitted a TBT tuning kit and WOW it's just amazing . I wish I could put a picture up to show the group size at 35yard

I understand that the only barrels that HW choke are the:
95
98
97

I’ve been curious about doing this myself to an old 95 barrell. I pushed a pellet down it yesterday, and there’s a definite tight spot in the last inch.

Is there a suggestion that an unchoked barrel is slightly tighter along its length?

Hw99 barrels are choked

Absolute bunkum that shortening any HW springer barrel will compromise accuracy.

IIRC Cardrew always advocated removing the last inch or so of barrel to get rid of the rubbish choke.

The last two
Answers to this thread suit my plans a treat.

Bowkett recommended chopping a full length 77 barrel down to get rid of the choke caused by machining for the fore site unit.

I chopped the barrel down on one of my 77s and it seems to have made no effect on its accuracy.
