Hw 100Kt Barrel ( Advice Wanted Please )

[Fieldsports 155]

Well tonight after removing and refitting my silencer I noticed that the barrel itself turned slightly.

I have read that there is a small locking grub screw that holds the barrel in place that can be found by removing the stock and cylinder

to gain access to it. ( I have not looked yet but I know I will find it )

 

My questions are.....

( 1 ) .. Is there a correct position the barrel must be in before the grub screw is tightened ? If so please explain the position

( 2 ) .. Also I have read this is not an uncommon problem in the HW100's so

do you put a bit thread lock on the grub screw to avoid it working loose ?

( 3 ) .. How tight has it got to be ?

( 4 ) .. What happens if you get it wrong ? or can you not get it wrong ?

 

Thanks for any advice in advance.

Another trip to A&M might be on the cards Steve for an additional grup screw to be addes. Are you sure Darryl didn't spin it round while you weren't looking?!.. I'm sure he's on commission

 

Its never happened to me pal but I'm sure it'll be very cheap to sort

LOL mate..

Thanks for the reply Darryl has just been on the phone mate and explained about the additional grub screw ( PS: I can fit one of these myself no problem )

Now it has been explained to me it is easier then easy...LOL

I will tell you one thing for sure though, I like to bet if I dealt with any other company for gun parts I would of never got this level of customer care.

I will always use A&M from now on mate .....you can't go wrong with them.

Hi Steve,

After removing the stock, remove the air cylinder and mark the alignment of the barrel in the breech with a bit of adhesive tape, remove the angled grub screw and draw out the barrel. Clean away any oil and make sure the barrel, breech and grub screw clean and dry, insert the barrel into the breech at the correct alignment and tighten up the grub screw without excessive force. If you think the barrel may have twisted round from its original position; check the serial number stamp, it’s usually on the same side as the breech serial number and square to the horizontal plane. Easy task if you have the correct fitting allen key.

Regards, Steve
