    Happy New Pistol Day to Me!

    This arrived in the post today, (thanks to tom24) swapped the grips for some out of my spares box, but there is lots of tinkering ahead, the Aussie piston seal is already on its way from down-under...

    Too many guns, or not enough time?

    The MAN'S CALIBRE! (0.22) But I am going to to turn down a length of 0.177 barrel to fit, amazingly the two M3 clamp screws came out at the first attempt!

    Solware should have genuine HW45 barrels in, £40 both calibres
    I bought a 177 last year for £35 for a project but that's inflation for you. Bluings that nice I haven't had the heart to put it in the chuck as yet

    Maybe I need a .22 HW45

    the .22 hw45 is definitely easier to load.
