    Do they become a HW45E when you fit a longer barrel and Walnut grips.

    I've fitted HW stocks to HW45's a couple of times and didn't like them much.
    I prefer the HW45 as is, even it is liable to kick like a mule. I was thinking of fitting a TBT kit, but as I so seldom fire it I haven't bothered.

    I have two 45's.silver star and the normal one. The silver star groups well. The stock fitted to the other was just a play around for close rat shooting. I am not bothering tuning them at all as not worth the money or time for what you end up with.

    I thought that there was an issue with fitting silencers in that the barrel doesn't sit parallel in the top strap. The barrel is slightly higher at the muzzle end than it is at the breech.
    I guess you can get away with a stumpy silencer, but if you look down the barrel and through the silencer you should be able to see that the front of the silencer is out of line with the bore of barrel (assuming a screwed in adaptor is used).
    The extended barrel option gets around this problem - although I suspect it might look a little odd if the upward angle is noticeable.
    .....Or did I dream that?
