Title: Ancient HW35 0.22; make-over
Post by: harry palmer on March 27, 2013, 09:21:10 AM
Here are before and after fotos of my old 35; my friendly local shop removed the moderator which was epoxy glued into place (a blow-torch,lump hammer and a set of mole-grips were used :o!!),I then fitted a plastic S.200 muzzle protector ,resprayed an old spare stock and put on a better 3-9x40 a.o. Nikko scope and I thnk it definately looks less "clunkey................. :D"

Byeee!!

Harry,

Nice paint job on your stock.  I am working on an HW-55 and had a lot of trouble on the staining.  I have put a lot of time and effort into it and still not there yet.  Just couldn't bring myself to paint the old girl, but I may end up doing that.

Kenny, that looks fantastic! :o
Great job, man!
That's a HUGE improvement on that shooter, now it looks like it means business.

Nice work on that HW35.  I think the new muzzle protector looks improved. 

Your camo paint job does add a certain edge to the rifle.  Its a modern version of the classic "Safari" model HW35 with the green-stained stock.  ;D

Thanks for the kind words everybody, I got the camo paint idea from this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqmWcLKQXgI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqmWcLKQXgI) ,(the paint job is done 20 minutes into the video) ;all you need is a couple of tins of paint and some plastic leaves or ferns (which I "borrowed" from one of my wife`s flower arrangements ;)!).
