Very nice Jono. I like the plain look. Do you get to hand burnish some massage oil into it?

No Pauly, just some light fondling for now..

The finish isnt too bad, and they finish with danish oil - Id need to see whats compatible if i want to refinish or smooth it, but ill likely leave it for now

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

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.

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
