The jeweled part is the visible section, the rest is less bling.. But i got a cool sticker too! I imagine the piston is titanium, the comp tube doesnt need to be.. It was chronoed at 11.6fpe before leaving UK so will be interesting to see where its at in the old 77 |

Stunning looking rifle Jono!!! Excellent job!
Is that Paul Short stage 4 titanium kit an alien artifact?!!!  That looks "out of this world"! You'll be shooting beyond the speed of light with that kit fitted! It'll probably sort out Vampires too!! I guess that was a wee bit expensive? But Top Shelf eh?! Great project.... |

Internal bling.
very nice. Are both piston and cylinder Titanium? It'll be good to hear how it shoots?

Well after installing the V-Mach kit, it’s struggling to make 10fpe, so I got talking with Paul Short in UK after enquiring if he could confirm the trigger was one of his early super set backs (which it was), and after initial likely diagnosis that the comp tube is leaking I was sick led into the rabbit hole of tuning and ended up with this on my doorstep; a Paul Short stage 4 titanium kit. Includes the piston and comp tube, both glided, spring and custom guides, seal, all pre-lubed very sparingly ready to drip in. It’s a lovely bit of kit and currently in process of selling a kidney to recoup costs but will be nice to have the rifle up and running better than new and in the heritage in which it started being customised.
It still has a venom muzzle but it’s very much a Paul Short HW77

Very nice job, I brought a HW77 .22 in Blackpool in UK in 1984 and it came with me to NZ in 85 regrettably sold it late 90s a great gun I should have kept. You have a good one there.

Functionality and good looks.
I like the scope and close proximity to the chamber.
Nicely done sir. |
