After all this talk on here of smaller HWs I thought I'd build up another HW50 for ratting duties, so from the spares pile I decided to graft a HW99 barrel onto an old school HW50 action.

After much filing and a bit of angle grinding to the latch plunger, I ended up with this. :-

Which is nice and straight and gives a really solid lockup but the breech seal will need shimming a little --- no big deal.


My only niggle so far is that when the barrel is closed I can still see the cat's arse breech nut :-

So my question is does this look the same as on a HW99 ?





All the best Mick
