Hi Evert.

I've seen a few variations in 35 Pistons so I expect the 50 to have had the same variations over the years.

Very keen to see how you progress with this Hw50

Hi John.

The piston I've been playing with is all steel and originally had a synthetic HW seal and a stroke of 65mm, whether later 25mm 50s changed from a 65mm stroke to a 69mm stroke in line with the HW35 I couldn't say.

I don't really need another gun but it would be nice to see what could be done with this little thing.

I really should dig out the original barrel and date the action from the serial number to get an idea of it's age and history




All the best Mick
