I've got 2 HW30S's, the HW97K and for ratting during daylight the HW35E. Excellent piece of kit, and with the sling no problem tossing it around all day. The barrel locking mechanism is one of the primary reasons I use it as a hunting rifle. And I'm no youngster myself (well over 50). If it's...

Took 2 seconds between fire and hit, that means at 276 yards the bullet traveled 138 yards per second. That's not fast, thats normal (even on the lower side) for a .25 slug. Nice shot!

Yes, all parts are interchangeable. The only difference between the two is that the HW77 has open sights and the HW97 doesn't. The 97 has a silencer-like business end. The difference in stock between the 77 and 97 is a higher cheek rest for the 97 because that rifle was ment to be shot with...

Sorry guys, but we're having two different discussions here. TS spoke about bending the barrel in order to change the sight line. The other discussion that was introduced later, is bending a barrel back into it's original position. Two different things! Just to make sure you guys understand...

I am quite aware of the fact that we're talking about an (piston-driven) airgun. The rules (of physics) apply to any kind of technology that pushes a projectile down a barrel regardless of the power source, being it gunpowder or air. Canting on a bent barrel will be a problem, it's physics mate...

I'm an international competition shooter, gunsmith and have been playing around in the marvellous world of guns for over 34 years now, but I've never ever heard this kind of nonsense before. You don't ever bend barrels for the sole purpose of changing the sight line. For one, canting will...

Mine loves the JSB Jumbo RS. Although every barrel is different, I've heard many TX200 owners say that these are there preferred pellets.

You did WHAT?! 😨 Some folks... 🤐 Next time, try shimming your scope mounts. A lot safer procedure that won't potentially result in a FUBAR rifle.

Give it some time, you will eventually turn back from the "dark side". I've been there. PCP's are dead easy to shoot, but the inevitable boredom from hitting target each and every time will make you want to grab one of those springers at some point. It's an itch you can't escape, you will need...

@uglymike has found the magic word; consistency! Find the balance point for your rifle and a comfortable position and do the exact same thing over and over again. Trigger position, trigger pressure build-up, shouldering, the amount of pressure on the trigger hand touching the stock and the...

@Blackthunder, have a look at the Ataman AP16 or Kalibrgun Ocelot. I think that's the type of pistol you're looking for, except for the semi-auto part. With a little tuning of the trigger group, you can turn that thing into a very smooth high-power shooter. It comes with all the options you want...

(De)compression of air in a fraction of a second gets hot, really hot! Up to burning levels on non fire resistant materials. I wouldn't use anything else than tried and tested piston heads. You'd risk damaging the seals. One of those HW seals work best to soften things up, guide rods and...

Not sure what the size is, but can't you walk into a hardware store with the mount and try some headless allen screws?

It sure shows, now it's just one tiny hole where multiple pellets traveled through. Must say that the TX200 is one of the most easy guns to work on. That is one seriously well designed rifle! Hope this helps others also in their endeavour to make their rifles top notch.

Went the easy way first, removed that last spacer. I'm now at 567 Ft/s and 11,36 Ft/lbs. I also removed the lube on the spring guide and spring and cleaned the internals again. I also removed 1mm from the spring guide (advised by Tony because the safety wouldn't catch every now and then) and...
