A complete conversion for your HW77.New parts-
Compression tube, piston & piston head, guide tubes plus hand finishing of body tube, cocking lever and trigger block.
The Lazaglide features -
Leak tested nickel plated compression tube and high tech alloy piston both with synthetic bearings to ensure no metal to metal contact.
A complete conversion on your 77 carried out at the venom workshop was £98.00 in Jan 1988. By April of that year the system was available for the HW80, 85, Diana 52 and the Webley Eclipse.

Happy, happy days and so many special memories from back then. I relished every visit.
