i never chrono it
i would think it would be around 500 as a guess
CO2 like a longer barrel but at what point is the guess
the 2240 barrel is too short but the 10.2 always seemed about right
i did all my barrel cutting with pillow block it is a poor man's lathe
you can put the hack saw right against the pillow block and turn the barrel and hold the saw in place nice 90 degree cut and then you can dress the barrel end
if the barrel or anything is over 3/8 use a socket a 1/4 drive adapter for a drill
this is a small setup that i used to file a larger barrel groove to adapt a Crosman SSP-250 barrel for a Gamo compact
the pillow blocks are hot glued to and sturdy board

Since Bob & Doug Air is shut down and I’m not picking Kim up at airport today I decided to peruse estate sales. First one had a pic of what looked like two Blue Streaks, a Daisy underlever carbine, and an unmistakable HW breech block. Couldn’t tell which model from pics. First time I’ve ever seen respectable air rifles at estate sale here. 33 miles away, was rolling in less than 5. The Streaks and Daisy had sold on first day of sale Thursday, but this little HW30 was still there. And it was half price day too! Some wear, some surface rust, trigger guard so loose I’m surprised it didn’t fall on the floor, this girl was used. But, rifling looked good and Rekord trigger on it. Pre-safety. Paid and ran. Got home, tightened trigger guard, grabbed some AA 8.4 that were already on table. Not only did it shoot, it shot great! Beautiful shot cycle, NO buzz, NO twang. Trigger was crisp. Will chrono when it’s not 98 degrees and 110 heat index outside but my guess is it’s close to spec. Date code puts this one at 1967 according to The List so assuming it’s a leather seal? Looks like the metal cap on the end where safety would be on a new one just pops off to fit on a spring compressor but someone correct me if I’m wrong. Neat little rifle, glad I found it. Just hope Bob & Doug don’t expect a thank you, because they’re definitely not on our Christmas list this year.

If you don't see valve pin problems too often in the forums, you should be ok. This little guy got all the bad valve pins I think.

Its been good, ive had one for 8 months. I've never had an issue with it. Its fun semi auto, easy to shoot off hand. Its internally baffled and pretty quiet for a 10 inch barrel 30 cal. It makes just shy of 50 ft/lbs. 690-710 fps with 45 grain pellets. I get 6 mags /54 shots per 300bar fill. Its pretty accurate to like 40 yards. Hits its mark. The only negative is using the "bolt action" is difficult to manipulate, there's a release lever that's a pain to deal with. I just leave it in semi auto all the time.
