Before you jump all over me (Unframed) Dave, It's a trade so one in- One out!!I shall be clearing out somewhat in summer!!
Anyhow, A chap offered this old mk1 Hawk in trade for a (Project) springer pistol on another forum, I offered a BSA Scorpion in trade which shoots fine but is cosmetically challenged!, Actually it's cosmetically challenged twice in it's life as it seems to have been painted black but even that's worn off too!!
The mk1 Hawk has had the piston seal modded to an O ring and whilst it's not overly powerful at 6.4ft lbs, Neither has it had an Ox crammed in to elongate the crosspin holes in the cylinder!, It's a .22" (No .177" barrel) but seems to have been looked after but with two scrapes in the woodwork which shouldn't be too much of a job to cover with stock touch up pens..
I've had a few of these and have to say, I've never liked them much but boy, Had they been abused??!!, This one doesn't seem to have been so I may change my mind!
It still has it's foresight too which is a bonus!!

JohnIf it is low in power , check the breech block is not leaking . The threads in the cylinder only go 2 threads past the stock screw holes. Never a powerhouse----------CRAP trigger and REALLY DANGEROUS SAFETY.

Rare to see a Hawk in such good condition. They tend to have been treated badly when new and then neglected as uninteresting during their subsequent life.
The Chrono Slayer
Every one i've owned has been in the same way as you describe, They had lots of slop in the actions and rattled like mad, They all had stretched pin holes in the cylinder too!

I've just got a Mk 2 Hawk, me first wobbly webley rifle ever lol.
There is virtually no pre load on the spring, which us nicely kinked in three places. Pin holes are very slightly elongated. I can't chrono it yet, cos I shot the led off it again, waiting for another packet to arrive, but I reckon its lucky if its doing 3ft/lbs lol

I do not like the Hawks either really, the Mk , phaaah, what was that one for? The mk1 I do have some time for, it was new, innovative, and while still pretty useless that example is one of the best i have ever seen. Does it have both barrels?
The Chrono Slayer
Ha ha!!, Brilliant!
It only has the .22" barrel, Most of the ones i'f had in the past had just the .177" barrels, I did have one with both but I got rid of them all as they were abused with no sights and no blueing, I think this one may be a keeper as it's nicely tight with no rattles and almost all of the blueing intact!!
