well done that man!
Hi all,
Finally go the venom tuning kit today from BAR and a new replacment breech seal. Well what can I say, it has took me 1 month, loads of hours in the greenhouse, blood, sweat & tears but I finally got the HW77 back together. The difference in action is unbelivable:
BEFORE: TWWWWANNNNNGGGG G G G G
AFTER: phut
I have set it up with some S200T open sights which I grafted onto the Hw77 action with a slight bit of modification. Anyway the results: a very consistent, accurate and fun airgun to shoot with. Take a look at the pictures, you will be amazed with the difference.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Cost me £120 on top of the actual airgun. errr
ISP ReBlack - £50
Tuning Kit - £50
Oils, wax & stains: £10
Sandpaper - £10
My origional plan was to sell it on? But I am not so sure after all of the work I have put into it.... What price would it be worth if I do decide to sell.
In conclusion a very worthy process and an amazing outcome.

Thats beautifull
Thats a nice colour you got the stock to be - lovely.
I play a Fender bass, I shoot a springer. I like things to be, well, dependable
Keep it Ian, it's very unlikely that anyone else would appreciate your craftsmanship, when are you starting on the next project?
