Think i will drop Paul Short a message(he lives near me)& get him to make me a set back trigger, then i'll let you know how i get on.

Having owned, 80's, 77's, 97's 95's, iv'e never had the issue of reach until using the 99's

Thanks Rob,

The 99S does seem to be the rifle that gets the most complaints about long trigger reach and a set back trigger blade would help this, so if you get one made and it works please let me know as I could be tempted to invest in one.

It will also save me having to collect lolly sticks and buying some filler paste

Bob,

I haven't heard any grizzling WRT HW99S' fitted with Custom Stocks CS 'target' stocks - e.g. CS700 & CS800.

I don't know if the trigger reach issue is better with these ?

The lolly sticks etc. were a much less expensive option

I will be giving my HW30S' stock the lolly stick treatment soon ( Igor, it lives, bwa-ha-ha-ha.. )

Have fun & a good weekend

Best regards

Russ

Don't worry Rob,

Use the link I sent to you and you can get one for £18.95 (including postage) and the others that I ordered previously arrived within a few days so you won't have to wait too long for it to arrive.

Enjoy your weekend,

Bob.

I think I prefer to start collecting lolly sticks rather than buy a new Custom Stock to fit my HW99S (bit expensive for a pensioner don't you know! ) but if I ever see a good used example at an affordable price it could be of some interest !

My HW30S is still my favourite MPL "shooter" but it is just too small for me. Fitting the '30 mechanism into a larger stock would be a perfect fix but would involve some work unless of course CS made one that would bring the rifle up to size! Not much chance of finding one of these on the second-hand market though!

Building-up the grip is a good idea, but I would also want to lengthen the stock as well so I will give it a "good coat of looking at" (again) and see if I can find a suitable lump of wood to add to the rear of the stock to make it a bit longer.

If I can find a used HW30 stock at a good (read low) price I would be happy to start a project to make it longer, add a higher cheekpiece and a target stye of pistol grip to see what I can do with it. If it works it could make the perfect MPL rifle ( for me at least!) - but meanwhile I will work with the '99S as it is naturally a bit larger and if I can make it shoot as sweetly as my '30 I would be very pleased with it - and it does have good potential !

Its probably about time I got my MPL entry sorted-out and started shooting some targets!

Seems like I am not alone in being a "slow starter" this season - so let's get this competition going and see if any of us can improve on what we scored in the last competition.

It also gives us the chance to shoot a different airgun than we used last season perhaps?

I have already started rummaging around to see what needs some exercise - and of course there is also those "new additions" that we may have picked-up or refurbished since last season too!

My old Centre under-lever pistol could do with a bit of attention - and I also have an old grey plastic grip type of Model 6 that is being rebuilt and should be ready for use again shortly......and that old Model 5 could be coaxed back into action again too.....decisions, decisions........!

Well done Rob - good to have you shooting with us again!

Have you thought any more about taking part in the air pistol competition?
