I stand to be corrected but I was told that the A&M cylinder does not have a valve in unlike the HW cylinder which does have a valve so retaining the air when removed. Sounds like my info was possibly wrong. Phil Just looked at A&M site and it looks like you and Mitch are right so sorry for wrong info to the op. Here is their actual wording,' the cylinder cannot be removed from the gun whilst FULL', so I assume as you say David, it can be removed when lower pressure is left in the cylinder. http://www.amcustomgunsmiths.com/cylinders.html

I bought a spare air cylinder for my HW100 from another forum but be aware that you cannot change an A & M cylinder as it has no valve unlike the HW factory cylinder which can be removed whilst still holding air. I think Uttings do a 0.5lt cylinder for field top up's, around the size of a small flask but they are about £120 with whip/gauge so nearly as much as a 3lt unit. Hope that helps. Phil

Shooting someone elses rifle is not my thing. I think I would rather opt for buying a sub 12Ft/Lbs so I could keep using my one scoop and practice with it over here. Welcome aboard I think this would be your best option, to have a sub 12ft/lb here is much much easier and still a good hunting tool, just ask the guys on here. Phil

' Sounds like user error with these chrono's getting damaged to me.' You have got it in one, if the unit is aligned, you cannot damage the chrono. Phil

Anyone who shoots one simply has not lined the barrel to the unit correctly, if you are worried, get the yellow set up tool. Phil

I stand to be corrected but I think the A & M cylinder is 400grm lighter that the standard cylinder. To be honest I was going to get one but don't find the gauge so easy to read (old eyes) so I picked up a spare standard cylinder in order that I COULD change cylinders if needed giving me twice the shot count. I only shoot in a rested position, either bipod or trigger grip tripod so not an issue but I would think the A & M unit will benefit those shooting free standing. Phil

I have the Combro which works fine. Phil

A number of the guys from Airgun forum tried it out at the Shooting Show last week. The feed back was very good. I cannot see Weihrauch putting it's name to a poor product. Phil

Thought you had switched Mark to FAP pellets. Phil

looks very feminine,almost gay !Only my opinion,a bit like the gun equivalent of a fiat 500,in duck egg blue! When is your appointment at specsavers.................... Only joking Phil

I have heard so many people who have had Carl do work for them and not a single negative comment from any of them, to the contrary they all say what a cracking job he has done with the rifles being spot on. Phil

Mark, some people like plain or tactical stocks as they take the rough and tumble but I have no intention of knocking it around and to me it is worth the dosh. I sound like a tackle tart but I take pleasure in ownership of my kit, the same with my fishing gear and boat gear, the guns I own are treated in the same way. The adjustable laminate stock, to me is a thing of beauty and gives me pleasure in using it. The daughter of the shooting ground owner that I shoot both clays and target shooting has the same as me which has camo tape, netting and other bits on to break down the shape of the gu

Nice shooting and well done with HW's first trip out. Phil

Very nice they are Mark.. well chuffed with mine! ☺ + 1

I would think it will sell in the US and made for that market. Phil

We have a big cock pheasant comes every day and again totally safe as the girls would kill me if I shot it. It is nice to see however but my god is he a hungry bugger. Phil

Yes but by the time you pay the rfd so you can send it to his shop then add another £35 to it and its £780 like i say,d they have gone up, up here any way atvbmac :thumbs: Possibly more Mac if you consider that there will be carriage from the RFD who is selling it and a charge from the RFD who it is being sent to. I had a quote for a gun from an RFD which worked out to £57 for both charges so I didn't bother. Phil

I think this is a marketing ploy and that is not a bad thing. If the product shoots like an HW100 but has a smaller mag and synthetic stock but sits well below the normal price tag for an HW100, then they have reached a new market who can't quite afford a new HW100 but may be able to afford this model, then they have succeeded. I don't think for one minute this company would produce an SMK in order to gain new market share so the quality should be what you expect from this gun stable. A good move on their part in my mind.

I didn't know there was a difference between wood and tactical stocks Mitch, I wonder why, you would think an Ultra stock was the same for all models. Handy to know that. Phil

Here you go http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181525206253?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&var=480771420932&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Phil

Mac that is very kind of you but my son in law has just bought a camo jacket yesterday so he is covered, if you excuse the pun, for a jacket and I have given him a set of gaitors but I thank you VERY much for your kind offer, really do. I found some cheap camo trousers on ebay £14, arrived Friday, super value for money, a bit big so may indulge in another pair a bit smaller which is not something I have to do very often if you follow my meaning. Thanks again Mac, very good of you matey. Phil

Here you go Mac, I was right they have fitted a Scorpian stock. Phil

Mine seemed to be on the money from the off. I did shoot some cleaner felt pellets with Napier power clean oil then away we went. For some reason I just do not connect with AA guns. I got a 410 for my son in law at Christmas, very smooth to shoot and accurate but I prefer the HW by a million miles, I know, it's just me. Phil

I think that Si Pittaway had a Scorpion stock fitted to his Ultra Mac when he had a full Ratworks makeover. Have a look on Vermin Hunters under ratworks reaper. Phil

My kids have grown up with a variety of guns in the house and have used them with my coaching and without doubt, I would have no hesitation in allowing them to take and use them if they had a shotgun cert but conversely I know a few 25 year olds that I would not trust with a low powered air pistol let alone a gun of value so the rule that a youngster has to be accompanied by someone over 21 is just a joke. What is the old saying.......................THE LAW IS AN ASS Phil
