So that's the reason..eh.

[A1WOC 212]

Common problem, I’ve had to do several of my HW100’s due to the barrel turning when fitting or removing the moderator,

Remove the stock, remove the air cylinder, take note of the barrel orientation in the breech, remove the small angled barrel retaining locking bolt (allen key) on the underside, pull out barrel from breech, thoroughly clean barrel end and inside breech, assemble dry and tighten up locking nut when the barrel is correctly orientated into breech, refit cylinder and stock; simples.

thanks for that A1WOC very easy and fast once you know how..

[smithie 2,443]

easy when you know how i said..... fooking wrong i was. after tightening the barrel the mag does not want to fit in place it seems tight and after making it go im still not grouping..

 

any ideas?

You have put the barrel in to far

I daren't remove my silencer incase the barrel comes loose lol. its quiet enough for me as it is with the standard hw silencer anyway.

 

hope you get your sorted tho mate, amazing rifles !

i bet i have... how far from the bottom should it be? i can push it to the back and measure the distance to correctly place it from there once i know where it should be

Just pull it out a bit then try your mag

[smithie 2,443]

i have already seen to the mag. i slackened off the grub screw a bit and got lucky. the mag slips in/out with ease

 

i just need to wait till i have time now to try it and look at the groupings.

 

i thought i was going to have to go to gun shop with it and swap it with a pocket full of cash for something newer...

 

 

thanks for the help

Glad you have sorted it

I was talking to Tench about my HW100 and he mentioned that some people over-tighten the grub screw that holds the barrel in place. This results in it being pushed back into the block further than it should be and this causes problems.

 

Just 'tweak' up the grub screw when you replace the barrel and, provided you've followed A1WOC's advice and put it back 'dry', you shouldn't have any more problems.

Skot - I've got the FAC version and, because of the long barrel, I have to remove my mod every time I put it into the gun cabinet.

 

I've found that, provided I grab hold of the barrel just below the mod with the other hand while unscrewing the mod, I've never found any problems with the barrel coming loose.

Well i have no need to remove mine so i just leave it on

I envy you Skot. I'm seriously tempted to have a couple of inches chopped off of mine just so I don't need to.
