Lovely jubbly, Mikey Boy!
Glad you're loving it. And it's nice to keep one or two on opens.
If it's vertical movement on breech lock up......a couple of tips from our Mick.....a RWS Hobby behind the latch spring gives more preload. Or you may have to just file a little material from the latch face, allowing it to engage more fully.

Excellent thanks mate. There was a fair bit of vertical movement, some of which has been sorted with a new breech seal. Unfortunately there is movement left to right too but as you say its nice to have a couple of rifles on opens. I had great fun blasting some old satsumas and stuff at 25 yards on opens yesterday
Mike, shouldn't be any movement in the HW35 barrel lock up in either plane, once set up correctly.
Vertical movement is usually due to a shagged detent latch lever spring. Either replace the spring or put a Hobby pellet underneath to pre-load it.
An over-thick replacement breech seal can cause variable lock up and string pellets up and down.
Side to side play can usually be adjusted out by tightening the axis bolt. Does it have shims fitted?
Having now had chance to sit down and have a look at the HW35, I've tightened the pivot bolt and voila!!!! Problem solved. Many thanks for your advice chaps. What a superb wealth of knowledge there is here !!!!
Having seen your post #235, Mike, I was going to suggest checking for shims and bolt adjustment. But I see the Lovely Uncle Ted has advised and now fixed.....great stuff!

Following on from the thread started by Andrew (Mr English) and prompts by njaw and Terry D, looks like I might be writing some articles on some people's airgunning stories. Terry suggested someone from the Boinger Bash. And I can think of lots of fine folk from The Hollow. A bit of a potted history of their airgunning life.
Who's up for it? I can think of lots of characters that would make enlightening and fascinating reading for the AGW readership. Don't want to mention any names, but I could reel off a huge list!
BOING!!!!!
