Autumn Bash 17th and 18th September 2022

That's a shame, not that I expect anything half decent out of China, it's just trying to find a decent spring with thinner wire, to be honest I'm not the sort of person who really knows or experiments with different springs but this all come about when Karen struggled cocking her HW30, I know to you and me we may laugh at such a thing but having a dodgy shoulder from a car crash and also being a woman (and that's not a sexist comment) I was just trying to make it easier for her so she can join in our great hobby.

I'll bring my HW30 to the next bash. Standard spring but I had the end of the barrel threaded, without carbining behind the front sight dovetails (so threaded over the dovetails) and I then added a steel pistol silencer. The extra length makes it easier to cock.

That would be lovely thank you, Karen can have a go and see what she thinks.

Yep, in the absence of further internal tweaks (and Pete's probably going to struggle with finding a weaker spring that's still decent), increasing the leverage will help.
