    Hi Savy I presume you mean a multipump pneumatic rifle which is pumped via the forestock.. If so then I have a few and as already said, they're damned noisey to pump but on the plus side there's no recoil, there is usually a loud crack upon firing unless a moderator is fitted.. Did the one your mate have look like any of these? Cheapo B45-3 Chinese multipumper ten shot in .177cal.. Sharps Ace.. Sharps Innova.. Sheridan Silver Streak.. At the very left hand side of this pic is a Crosman model 1 (a mate has this now), it was actually a very good rifle that

    Hi I have one of these somewhere and it broke! The switch on the torch packed in, I emailed BSA to buy a new one but they said they don't deal with the public (Trade only).. A couple of days later I received a mail from a very nice chap whch said that whilst cleaning out a cupboard, he had found one spare, in short he sent me both switches free of charge!!! The torch was very bright and the dot always seemed to be centred in the middle of the beam! Some of the ones on fleabay are fakes, I bought another one from there and it was rubbish!, build quality was really poor by c

    Hello Simon I only have a few Weihrauchs.. Left- HW35k Right- HW35e (But simply marked EUSTA) Another HW35 from 1979 Recently acquired HW80 HW95 on a custom walnut stock, like a fool I sold the original stock so now I can't swap it back The 77 you mentioned HW80 (but with a 85k Barrel in .177 ) Though not a springer, I think this HW90 is closer to a springer than a PCP.. I bought this HW98 from a good friend here in Sheffield but another close friend really took a shine to it so I let him have it, he puts 20p coin sized groups at 50yds

    Ha Ha Ha!! Nice one Davy boy, I lol'd at that (cos i'm gettin' owld!!) To the OP, of over 90 guns in my collection, these two 'Stars' are the smoothest cockers (and shooters!) in my collection... I don't know whether they've been worked on but i'd guess that they have as they are just like silk in use John

    Hi again I missed the bit about the power! These rifles are dead easy to strip, the mainspring can be cut back by a couple of coils, i've done loads to reduce the power.. I normally cut two or three coils with an angle grinder then warm the cut end with amy blowtorch and smack it down to flatten the cut coil to the next one.. Then i'll use my belt grinder to make the last coil truely flat and dress the sharp edges off.. Or you could just buy a standard HW35 spring (round wire rather than the overly strong square ones).. Cheers, John

    Hi Diggermad If the rifle is in good condition then the price is good If it's one of the first 35's then it will be much older than 25years.. I have one that was made in 1972, that's 40 years old and mine isn't among the first made (They didn't even have the revered Rekord trigger in the first ones!!) There will be no safety catch on it if it's old and if there is a scope rail, you'll need 13mm scope mounts to fit properly.. Here are a few of mine.. This is a one sided safety catch model (1979) with 13mm rails. Top- 1976 HW35 Export with 22" barrel, one sided saf
