There were quite a few examples that suffered with "Droop"-which could explain the calibre change in a few cases-people fitted whatever they could get their hands on.

How smooth does the .177 barrelled .22 actioned hybrid shoot?


I will give you £50.00 for it

I reckon I will have the droop after another tinny.....

I can emperthise with not wanting to change the airgun you bought...especially if its a "special"..but a standard Sport...?

The .177's seem more desirable than the .22;s....could this be the reason...?

that wouldnt explain the 124s with 22 barrels ( i have seen more of those )
like i said it probably happens a lot but on sports you can tell its been changed
( also in the eighties 22 was used for field target AND hunting ) but then the fashion changed in favour of 177

I bow to your superior knowledge Mally....

my new SPORT today looks almost as if its never been used its a 124 with no cheekpeice butpad or pistol grip cap though stock is mint ,just has two patches on the barrel where rust has removed the blue shoots fantastic though smooth as anything just need a scope for it now

Sounds like a standard-stocked 124 Mally. Does it have sling swivels?

i believe thats what it is no swivels /only ever seen pictures of a standard never seen one before in the flesh
i like it / the pistol grip is rounded like the earlier HW 35

I have a 121 Sport in standard format, which preceded the 124 but is otherwise identical.

thats the guy / just like mine

put a scope on the 124 yesterday not bad at all / not as smooth as my 22s but very accurate
the only other 177 sport i have is the MASTERSPORT and i have not shot a 177 one before / i will probably keep it though
was 170 quid a good price (from a shop)
