Airgunner HW35E

[Rickenbacker]

I remember that gold plated turd, circa 1980.

You still don't fancy one?

Everybody should own a Gold 35E at least once.

My thoughts run with those of Tinbum on the 35.
It must be the clickety clack that attracts owners or maybe the thrill seekers are always on the edge wondering whether it will gall or not.
The barrel lock up is great, you always need a complication when loading the simplest of designs. Even better for the left handed shooter.
If only they could design it with an iffy cylinder plug that may leak then it would be design perfection.

I think its a rifle that's best with the long export barrel and a good 8" of silencer added to stop muzzle flip

Now that's a cracker and a tempting alternative to this old girl getting a blued.

It's actually quite easy to do at home. The first step is in the preparation. You will need a plastic tub (with lid) large enough to put the barrel and action in and enough sulphuric acid to just cover it.
Drill a couple of holes in the lid for gasses to escape and place the tub in a well ventilated area and leave it for six months.

We'll go onto the next stage when that's done.
