Hw 35 in .22

You're not helping.

Anyone got one of the latest versions of the HW35E?

How do they stack up in 22?

I am without a rifle at the moment, and want to buy a break barrel springer in the larger calibre. Doesn't need to be laser accurate - just pleasant to shoot and nice to look at. I'll be using it indoors to knock down spinners. I've had dozens of .177 springers over the years, but prefer 22 these days.

I know I'm in a minority but I do like the old fashioned look of the 35.

I have one from 2002, Probably not the latest but it's OK

Have to say, The 35 is my favourite HW

I was wondering how long it would take you to show us some more of your HW gun porn Mr Jones. It has come up nicely though I must admit. It also shoots rather well if I remember rightly. John has also provided us with a nice hareem of 35's for those of us of this persuasion.
My own 35 Export isnt bad to shoot or look at either for that matter. Do I really need a new one?
Oh, alright then!

If its '35 gun porn' you want hows about this? A 'ball bag' deluxe bought earlier this year from fellow club member Phil. This re-blued by Colin Malloy and tuned by Dave Mercer this classic was for sale at our Adlington Airgun Fair but no-one took bought it because it had the manufacturers brown varnish finish. I bought it for £120 and stripped and re-finished to stock. This was what was under the brown gunk varnish.

Oops; sorry, Ian.

The stock on that 35 is amazing!

I just bought a new HW35e in .22 and am very happy with it so far.

I was hoping for a lighter coloured stock on mine with a good grain and I was at first glance a bit disappointed with the stock which was very dark with a really heavy coat of oil. This meant that the wood figure was barely even noticeable to begin with. I have since given it a light rub down to remove a bit of the oil and the grain is starting to shine through now. Just debating whether to work on it a bit more or leave it well alone before I ruin it!

Definitely appreciate the sturdiness and engineering of this old classic!

This



is the 'B B' deluxe stock before I gave it some TLC just using varnish stripper (not Nitro Moors ) and using over the counter CCL sealer and oil. Several hours removing a few dents and rubbing down to glass smooth produced the finished article. Im far from a wood working expert but I find the end result acceptable.
This is after:

Very acceptable - must have been satisfying getting such a great result!

Mine has quite a few small knots on the wood which gives the grain a nice pattern and adds a bit of character, but do wonder if these should be sanded back a bit a bit more to get the best out of it. Will certainly think about doing it, perhaps a bit down the line when it is scuffed and in need of a refinish.

Thanks,
