    I'm on about one considerably lighter than the pro elite that will produce 11 ft lbs not 22.

    I imagine such an AA break barrel would do very well not only in the UK,but in the States etc,too!

    Baffling that one hasn't already appeared,but laurel sitting takes no thought or effort!

    I have a feeling that IF and that's a very big 'if' go back to the drawing board to design another break barrel gun it'll be at least as hefty as the HW95 and will be set to compete in that area of the market.

    Air Arms won't make anything as flimsy as the HW50/99, it'll have the CD trigger and it won't be far off the Pro Elite.

    I would be interested in one, but it would have to be something like the Webley longbow in size.
    I already have the Pro/elite (my favourite gun) but would love a lighter more compact carbine rifle( I am getting older).

    Exactly where I'm coming from.
    Carrying an overweight springer around is far from the top of my "to do" list now.

    Whats wrong with the 99 apart from the cocking arm issue which is a 5 minute job to make right and costs zero £.I know this should be done at the factory before everyone has a go but it isn,t and thats it

    Just a few things that are wrong......
    The stock with a reach to trigger that is too long
    The trigger block arrangement with the locking lugs (though common to other models) is shoddy and cheap.
    The rifle should be fit for purpose out of the box and it just ain't. Is it ???

    But why isn't it done at the factory? especially like you say that it costs nothing and and takes 5 minutes to fix.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    So am I.

    It's not producing 12 yet, more like 8-9. But it's significantly lighter. More like a meteor.
