HW30s and HW30s Kit

[Arthur John Smithsplease]

Just a quick question if you would be so kind.

Is there any appreciative difference in accuracy between them, given the two inches shorter barrel on the Kit version with muzzle weight?

[Trumpetier]

It would have to go some to beat my standard 30s, its like a laser.

[rabbitwrecker]

All else being equal, 2" shouldn't make any difference to the potential accuracy of a barrel...

[Portzy]

I posed the very same 30s question to my local gunsmith, not just an rfd but one who actually makes guns, and he said there would be no difference twixt the two.

I did buy one of each though, just to be on the safe side mind you. and he was right. I do seem to gravitate towards the K if I'm honest, only 'coz it's the cuter of the two.

[p.j.]

I had a Hw30 kit. I had to be on the the most accurate springers I have shot.

Oh no!

Another thread that has morphed into loads of grown blokes extolling the virtues and declaring their love for this most gem-like, sweet, sweet little rifle!

Better not let Pete see it!

Sorry to jump in on this thread but im in two minds over which to choose myself.... im not sure how the muzzle weight is attached, does anyone have any info on this? Can the muzzle weight be removed with some heat? Then have the barrel screw cut?

Mine has a grub screw in the bottom of the muzzle weight so I guess that's what holds it on

[Arthur John Smithsplease]

It will probably require heat as well.

I'm more than happy with the standard barrel, let's face it, the 30s isn't overly lengthy - and no need for a moderator, it's so quiet anyway...

[Trumpetier]

Are you buying one ?

[Arthur John Smithsplease]

Yes, I've ordered the kit version.

Had the standard one in the past and regret selling it.

Need a garden gun.

[Trumpetier]

They really are a great garden or short range hunting gun. I only recently got one secondhand in .22 and it's really, really impressed me with its accuracy and very pleasant shooting manners. I'm pretty convinced that for the casual garden plinker it's all the gun you need

My thoughts entirely.

[DJP]

For me the choice is more about whether to go for the open sights or not.

The S model sure is cute, but I can't help thinking that at least the option of open sights makes more sense for a garden plinker.
