HW77 MKI project completed.

[frakor]

Found a HW77 MKI in .177 wit some damage but it was n.o.s.
Had a Venom (?) silencer for it, so a project was born. :-)

Decided to shorten the barrel and the underlever as it was way to long when the silencer was attached.
I wanted it to be a sub 12 ft/lbs rifle, so I made the piston much lighter, made snug fitting springguide and tophat and shortened the standard
full FAC spring by 7 coils (in different stages).
It is shooting very sweet now and extremely accurate.
There was a very large damaged area on the stocks fore end, so I stripped the stock and made it much nicer.
Forgot to take pics before I started, so this is the final outcome.

Lovely job as always, Frank.
I’ll be starting something similar as soon as our new pup settles in (he would reduce everything to matchwood if I attempted it at the moment)
