The 77 and k are not the sameMakes perfect sense with a break barrel. Longer barrel = longer lever. Not the case with a HW77 or HW97. My 97K long barrel has the same cocking lever as a 97k. HW77k and HW77 long have the same cocking lever according to parts diagram. Would expect similar level of effort with same internals. Unless you’re holding it by the barrel while you pull the under lever? Not questioning that it does feel easier, just wondering why.
While we’re on HW77. Not much shooting this weekend because Kim’s mom will be here in 10 days so she’s in panic mode. Won’t calm down till the house looks like no one lives in it LOL. Put a breech seal in this and went through again before she woke up. Shot about 40 pellets through it. No chance to chrono but definitely more pop and better shot cycle. Dieseling all gone. Trigger breaks crisply at 18 oz. These old guns have a je ne sais quoi the new guns simply don’t. Definitely easier to cock than my 97 long because this one is 25mm piston.

Love the patina in your gun. I like the older guns. Have a few, otherwise the only guns I ever saw are on this forum. Crow
