HW35 Restore.

[dead centre]

IVe been reading a lot about restoring air rifles on here of late so I thought that Ill have ago. I set to work on a hw35. I took every last screw out so I was left with what looked like a pile of old junk. Althought the action still looks tatty the workings are very good. The stock was taken back to bare wood and oiled. I also oiled the leather washer with STP son of a gun protectant and polished the inside of the cyclinder and piston. The trigger unit was cleaned out with carburettor & choke cleaner then lightly greased with Comma constant velocity grease. Then the new spring was greased with the same Comma grease. Now I know that some will say that Im using the wrong stuff but this is good gear. Now the next step is to buy a chrono to see whats happening. ( Im gutted that I never had one before I started because I will never know if Ive made it better or worse). Im pleased with my work so be gentle with your comments.

Aww, don't be humbled, you'll embarrass me! (But thanks anyway).

You should have seen the 35E! It made the Buccaneer look like a minter.

Thankyou. As for the 35k I had two and gave one away. If I get another its yours.

Nice one mate

Stock is perhaps a little too 'blonde' for my tastes, I'd have used a little stain to tone it down a tad and bring out the grain - but then again I always prefer the allure of a dark and sultry woman

I'm currently refinishing a grade 3 Harrier SE stock - and bricking it in case I balls it up

Keep up the good work

Yer your right its a little to light for me also. Ita all trial & error for me @ the moment. Saying that Im pleased with the outcome just need a bit more practice. A few cheap rifles would'nt go amiss. . Oh thats the gunrest from that fella. Im pleased with that also. ( Im not taking the pi$$ Goerdie).

Excellent job and another classic rifle saved from the dustbin and restored to its full glory!
