Taming the HW80 my way

[joffy]

Joffy's been playing with one too, recently.

Its a very different beast to the original gun

Spill the beans please!

Spill the beans please!

Short stroked by 20mm lightened piston and running on rings ....polished trigger contacts ....new trigger blade .....recrowned barrel and all fitted in an oiled hw77 stock and running at 11 and a bit ftlbs consistantly (i need to put it back over the chrono once run in a bit)

So much smoother than standard just a click when the piston latch engages the trigger

Sounds fantastic!

The stock sounds interesting? Did that need much in the way of modification?

Just a matter of relieving about an inch or so at the top of the stock where the 80s cylinder will go ....a little of chiselling to get the front lugs to fit then drill for 2 m5 countersunk bolts ala tx200 .....if i was to do it again i'd go with brass inserts ....it's easier to do than type it on my phone

Worth a BOING up, methinks!
