o.shamo 0 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hi does anyone know where i can get hold of .22 and .25 barrels for the hw90. The advice i got from chit chat in the pub was you can use the weirhauch hw90 gas ram as a powerplant if you will and it is possible to just swap the barrels to suit your needs and just alter the power with a pump and a chronograph to keep it within legal limits. Is this info correct?? Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Hi, mate. I changed the barrel on my 90 from .177 to .20 a couple of years back and you do need to have the ram pressure altered to stay legal if you're going up in caliber. It's only a ten min job to swap barrels but the ram can be a pain in the arse to get right. Didn't know you could get a .25 barrel for them though... Cheers. Edit to say... Hull Cartridge Co. import HW. It was the only place I could find for a new barrel and it took four feckin' months to arrive... Edited January 21, 2010 by andyfr1968 Quote Link to post
o.shamo 0 Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Cheers Andy. did you use the theoben pump or another device because the pump is quite expensive and apparently there is other ways of doing it. Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I looked into ways of doing it with or without the Theoben pump but decided against it. In the end, I took it to Wighill Park Guns who sorted it for me. Cheers. Quote Link to post
o.shamo 0 Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I suppose doing it that way you know for sure your legal. How much do you reckon a bigger barrel will set me back?? Quote Link to post

How much do you reckon a bigger barrel will set me back?? Yeah, that's why I took it to a gun shop. Their problem... Being a .20 it was an odd order, apparently... It set me back about £. Maybe a .22 barrel won't be so much of a problem, or cost. Dunno.... Good luck! Cheers. Edited January 22, 2010 by andyfr1968 Quote Link to post
