Hankering for a older HW35 ( E ? ).

[T 20]

I once asked if anyone knew anything about a Eusta marked 34 on the HW forum, I was told it was a fake!!

Hi John,

I remember a bloke asking for a valuation on a 35 Barracuda on the HW forum and someone said it was nothing special so it was only worth £100.

Mick, probably followed with an offer of £110 as they were feeling generous

Thanks for all the help & pics.

I rather like the 35E..

Where did you order from Mr Gingernut ?

Prices seem reasonable ?

Through Hull Cartridge via RFD.
I've forgotten the exact figure.
Bit over £300?

Sportsmangun do the standard 35E for £331.99 plus delivery to RFD

I did a bit of haggling for the nickel one.
Which might be why it's not turned up yet!

[gingernut]

I sold a nice old 35E to Coburn on here.
Then decided I liked them!

If you want an older one stop faffing around and get a 'Vixen'

I think I'd rather go for an early 1980's E with a serial number higher than 843636 rather than hunt for a Vixen.

There have been numerous variants over the HW35's 69 year production run, the HW35 Barracuda isn't realy classed as an Airgun though as it relies on Ether injection to boost its power to FAC levels.

He didn't get the chance, Mark, I put him straight.

Or even an old LS or the newer KLS .

And it's a beauty, 1974 pre safety HW35E, it joined 3 other 35's in my collection, a 35 std from 79, a Delux and another 35E both from 78. I bought another late 70's std for the girlfriend.

I've got one and I.J has the rest

I thought they were common

Barracuda

Bloody hell how many variants of the 35 are there ??

Ignoring barrel lengths (Karbine, 19" and 22") and safety catch types, off the top of my head theres the Standard, Deluxe (incl Ball Bag), Export, (left and right handed) Lochschaft (Thumb Hole), Black Silencer, Blue Laminated, Safari and Barracuda. Then theres the sub groups Vixen and Venom. Im sure Ive missed a few.

I ordered a new Nickel 35E before lockdown.
No news yet.

I blame I J for putting pics of his up.

Is it like this one?




[I still pull legs off spiders. ]

[gingernut]

That's the one.

I heard the Chap from Hull Cartridge on the phone.
Told my RFD it would be a few weeks.
Before lockdown.

.22 with UK spec spring.

[I. J.]

I found this today.
