Hw 35 in .22

[T 20]

Friend of mine just offered me above rifle for 100 quid, 25 years old and in reasonable condition for its age..stock I'd say 8 out of 10 but been put away damp so barrel etc has bit of surface rust but nothing major....what's ur opinions please

If you're going to strip the gun for a service you could drop the barrel and cylinder into boiling water for about five minutes, believe it or not this will turn the surface rust black, you can then use fine wire wool to smooth things out before oiling.

Daft idea, who's got a 5 foot long trough just kicking about nowadays, the length of the barrel alone will take most of that up

Ive bought one of those long thin pans for cooking rhubarb.

I got a sweater for Christmas when I really wanted a screamer or moaner.

I don't eat the Rhubarb I grow as all my cats like to crap in my raised Rhubarb bed --- so I give all my Rhubarb to my Mother in law.

Great! I would do the same to my mother-in-law may she rest in peace .... soon.

I asked my market gardener friend what he puts on his rhubarb. He replied "Horse muck!"
"Thats strange" said I "I put custard on mine."

Anyone got one of the latest versions of the HW35E?

How do they stack up in 22?

I am without a rifle at the moment, and want to buy a break barrel springer in the larger calibre. Doesn't need to be laser accurate - just pleasant to shoot and nice to look at. I'll be using it indoors to knock down spinners. I've had dozens of .177 springers over the years, but prefer 22 these days.

I know I'm in a minority but I do like the old fashioned look of the 35.

I bought this last year from my 'friendly local gun shop'. A limited edition but they have a few blued ones left. Its a .177 (11ft/bs m.e.) and shot smoothly straight out of the box. I stripped it out of curiosity, as you do , I found a nylon/derelin guide tube. The stock came up lovely after a bit of t.l.c.

I have one from 2002, Probably not the latest but it's OK

Have to say, The 35 is my favourite HW
