Hi All,

Has been a long time since I was active on here, have been without a PCP for years but have just purchased a second hand (2024 year) full size .177 HW100 in a laminate stock. It's in great condition and shoots perfectly. I setup a quick 15m target in the back garden using an old Nikko scope I took off one of my old springers and it's impressed me with how consistent it is. It's certainly way better than I am, I've shot nothing but shotgun for years and I had to remember trigger control!

However I have a couple of Qs if you'll indulge me;

1. The saftey doesn't work, as in the gun fires irregardless of which way the saftey switch is set. The dealer I bought it from isn't open today so obviously I will ask them about it when they open tommorow but they are a fair drive from me so if there are any known issues that I can check myself that's preferable.

2. Has anyone fitted a sling swivel stud to the butt end? I'm not sure about drilling the stock as it's laminate but some sources say it's fine, but then some say it will just pull out.

3. Does anyone have a factory Picatinny rail adaptor (the one with the 3 countersunk holes in the top) and could they please confirm if its plastic or aluminium?

Many thanks in advance
