Help stripping and sorting a HW35k

It'll be interesting to hear of the results with the FAPs, Norm.. And, as mentioned a little earlier, please double check that the cocking linkage isn't worn / been bent through over-enthusiastic cocking of strong springs, as the drag in this area can significantly increase the cocking effort..

I did have a look at the cocking linkage when it was first mentioned, it seems to be ok and has the little roller in the middle. When I put it back each time I make sure there’s a smear of grease on the area where it slides, and also on the cocking shoe.

There is a fine wear line in the blueing on top of the linkage, I think it’s where the spring steel ‘tongue’ on the stock mount tunnel rubs and again I smear grease on this as well.

As long as the movement seems smooth and unhindered all should be fine then, Norm.. And a little moly grease / paste is always a good idea.

Yup, bit of bumslide on all those little moving parts

I do know that stuff is hard to get out from under your nails !!
