    Bowkett HW35?

    A friend of mine turned up with an HW35 carrying a "Bowket" label.
    Any info on this appreciated.

    Best speak to the man himself.... his tel number can be found on johgn bowkett fans facebook account.

    He is great to talk to...

    From what he told me, the moment you strip if you kncker something... piston head maybe and it will never perform how it should...

    I have one of these myself... Very fast lock time and not hold sensitive at all... Remarkably easy to shoot... and I'm rubbish

    Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

    Hi Mike

    You'll probably find the gun has a plastic piston head fitted with an O ring.

    This will probably be backed up with a piston weight, short spring, and a delrin spring guide, Or the spring guide could be fixed to the trigger block.

    The transfer port could have been opened out to 4mm and the breech seal could be adjustable for wear.



    These are just some of the things that were done by Mr Bowkett to 30mm Weihrauchs.



    All the best Mick
