I was chatting today to someone who said they have a HW80 'somewhere' up stairs, that they have not used for years. all I know is that it is .177, and circa early-mid 1980's (if he remembers right)......assuming little use, good condition and properly stored as he claims, what would be a ballpark figure one would expect to have to pay please (he is not a shooter so has no idea of value, and this make / model is not my normal type of thing)......many thanks in advance!

SFS had one for sale in super condition for £150.
Mach 1.5
may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal repleneration
I bought a super condition, slightly customised one for £160 with big scope.
Thanks guys.......Haven't actually seen it yet, so am not holding my breath( I have encountered more than a few "mint" described guns in my time that have turned out to be car boot fodder when actually seen
).
Not normally from shooters mind you, but condition after 20 odd years unseen in a loft can be mint or gatepost depending on different factors

How did you get on with that hw80? Was it mint or gatepost? Did you want said item of a gatepost as am after an 80 for a project .

Still waiting to see it.......the guy has been working away for 10 days, returning next Tuesday, in Australia, and then is taking some time off......he is known for being a bit of a timewaster, but you never know the reaction when someone sees the folding stuffOriginally Posted by Lukefloorwalker
