Decided what I'm going to bring, most based upon light weight, as my shoulder is still well below full strength.
HW35
Shedstorm
Shedtype
FWB 124
HW80 24mm (a bit heavy for me right now, but it only comes out every few years).
and a pistol or two... still deciding there...
Did a quick service on the new-to-me HW35 this morning, swapping the nicely-converted-leather-to-synthetic-piston to a factory synthetic version - taking the weight down from 296g to 260g, and adding a few mm of stroke.
Normally I'd expect some power increase with the extra stroke, but the reason I stripped it was that it was a little smokey.. sure enough, the seal was a fraction loose, and there was quite a bit of oil in front of the piston seal. So a new seal went on the new piston, and the net effect was the combustion stopped, and the power stayed exactly the same at 10 fp. Firing cycle was a little calmer too, so will let it settle at the bash and see how accuracy is. Same spring, so same moderate cocking effort.
Really getting in the mood for the bash now... might even make it for friday evening if the weather is fine
