I agree with most of the other blokes - a good break barrel is faster and easier to use, lighter and often better balanced. The whole issue of inaccuracy due to the breech lockup on break barrels isn't an issue on the good ones.

And buying a fixed barrel sporter is no guarantee of accuracy either.They have their own array of problems which in some cases cannot be remedied.
Gunshops keep the fixed barrel myth alive because they don't know any better.

Ummmmm, Lewis old friend, why did you sell me that rather nice HW 97K a while ago if fixed barrel guns have problems

? Or is it a case of evrything but HW's have these problems and the one you sold me is purrrrrrfect

?
Don't worry, I'm happy

!
Have a good holiday over the Christmass break,

Hi Dennis,
I would have attended to any problems before I sent it to you.If you encounter any,you know where I am.
It should be OK,Dennis.
Merry Christmas to you too!
Lewis

As always, Lewis, it was purrrrrrfect and still is.

Are there any more HW100's on the horizon or are they still in short supply due to European/US demands?

Dennis.

Hi Dennis,
Great to hear!
I am having enormous trouble getting enough HW100's out of Beeman's.The last lot disappeared like snowflakes in hell!

He just said he preferred break barrels mate

A toyota dealer ain't going to drive a Yaris when he can drive and own the Aurion TRD Supercharged model is he

I'd buy a fixed barrelled springer no worries if it were from Lewis!

I could be persuaded to part with my HW100T for the right trade.

The SLX CRDi in red, please, and you should pay al dealer and statutory charges.

Fair trade, I reckon.

Oh, I would then have to buy another HW100T from Lewis when the next shipment comes in
