    Shortening an underlever

    I want to shorten the underlever on an HW97 but can't figure out how to remove the tube from the hinge.

    Anyone done it?

    I've removed the one on a 77 Nick.

    The 14mm pipe is pressed and loctited onto a fairly short stub at the hinge end.

    Easiest way for you would be to lathe the tube down round the stub then heat it to release the Loctite, or just machine the tube off --- it's 14mm OD X 10mm ID.

    If you did that quite a while ago and you used to take it to Redfearns, I can actually remember that gun.

    You are right, It did look cool and I thought you had done a super job of the conversion too.

    However, I tried to cock it and I nearly pooed a kitten. I'm no lightweight either, but sodding hell, that wasn't easy.

    Scratch yourself like you think the zoom meeting has ended.
