Beeman HW-97K .20 Custom Venom

[sonnysan]

Now I know why I never invite any airgunners around, because I don't remember this one! These guns would simply "walk off" the premises without me realizing the gun is missing many years later.
Stumbled on this one today looking for an R-9 blue laminate in the pile. Didn't find the R-9 just yet, but this one is a better find.
Mike A stock, skipline checkering, and executive brake with all the bells and whistles. Looks like JM trigger blade and guard.
It definitely has a venom tune. I'm sure it was the best Venom had to offer at the time.
I also don't remember an Elite 3200 having that kind of reticle.

You just had this forgotten in a pile? Shame on you

 

[wijib]

I know that you must be short on space to store it so just send it to me and I'll take care of it for you.

I actually believed you for a moment because you have fading on your R-9 too!

Lol...Sonny I'm sorry if went too far...but I couldn't resist!
You did a post on the yellow about your Centennial HW 97 that included your R9 LE. Great picture of it there. I don't think the one I posted is it. But it might be.

That 97 is beautiful.
I can't resist an Abernathy stock! Everything he touches is pure elegance.

My lord I'm drooling all over myself
That tiger maple is incredible!
I always get such a kick out of you finding guns you forgot you had! Lol

How do you know what you have with these custom tuned guns? Here's an early HW77K in standard stock, and a HW97K...I was told the 77 is a Airmasters, the 97 a Venom tune. Until you take the gun apart how can you know what you really have? Even if you take the gun apart, how can you still figure it out?

True venom tuned gun, this being guns that were tuned at the venom shop (I.E Ivan Hancock) should have a venom sticker on the action. It carries a lot of the venom tune attributes. But like my HW97 .20 that has a venom laser glide kit in it (Sourced from Tim McMurry) it is not a venom tuned gun just a gun with venom parts in it. Yours has the venom shop trigger, Tigger guard, mussel break and safety button. It is a very nice looking rifle. One I wish I had

Beautiful Gun.
A touch of amber or light Walnut stain really would make that stock pop.

I have the paperwork somewhere. I remember "mag Lazaglide tune" on one piece of paper. The previous owner sparred no expense on these creations. Bought 90% of them at the time.
