finally acquired a rough Hw35 serial no 26260. Can anybody date it for me please? I got this for not much money and I thought it might be a bit of a bad job. not stripped it yet but the rear stock screw was a countersunk allen headed self tapper and I could not shift the front screw. I had a hot bar on it and it scill wouldn,t loosen off. drilled the head to get it out of the stock but the screw body is still firmly stuck on the action. I know the engineeres on here woud probably weld a nut to the shank but it looks like I will have to try a set of mole grips or more likely try to drill it out and retap-------------------is it 6mm metric? Other joy on it is the rear sight screw looks like it has had a stud put in and a brass nut either side of the sight plate to adjust the elevation. I holpe its not been touched when I open it up.
I suppose I could always use it as a fence post or swap it for a Relum?
