HW95 problems

Great to hear you've sorted it, Daveo.

It’s back together and shooting well, I’ll have chrono it when it’s bedded in a bit.
New seal and barrel shims as the old ones looked suspect.
Discovered the cocking lever rivet was apparently a replacement and hadn’t been peened over it was just pushed in so I’m glad that didn’t walk out whilst I was shooting the gun when I initially got it, that along with every screw being finger tight, a tbt kit fitted completely dry and an oval piston and the trigger sear engagement screw completely backed off.
Makes you wonder what this gun has been through
All I can say now is the strange twang has gone, the trigger feels much better and the cocking is effortless
Fingers crossed

It sounds like the poor little thing had been subjected to a good deal of amateur hamfistery. But, in addition to them being well-engineered, precision instruments, they're tough old things, too, and can shrug off such shenanigans!

Nice work and I'm sure all will be good now.

Thanks Tony
Hopefully get a few through it this weekend
