lifelong cumbrian 1,788 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Has anyone had their hw100 tuned by Ratworks, mine is leaking, was thinking of getting it serviced tuned and new lighter air cylinder fitted. Just wanting a few ideas, thank you. Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,549 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Aye up Joe, I had my TX 200 HC MK3 .177 cal` tuned by Phil at Rat Works. Not a HW100 I know but came back a very fine rifle indeed. They were excellent people to deal with to. 1 Quote Link to post

.357shooter 989 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 it is a bit of a lump and i have been thinking about the light weight cylinder.just worried about where the balance point would be with it fitted. Quote Link to post
foxdropper 17,091 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 If I’m right the custom cylinder is shorter and provide eighty more shots Quote Link to post

Just to replace a few O rings is about £10 if you do it your self or if you want a tune with the anti tamp taken out with adjustable one fitted is about 100 quid , if I am right in saying ratworks tune with cylinder , tune and reg is about £250 ... phil is a great bloke and knows his stuff , but imo the HW 100 in any formate does not need that type of money spent on it . i had my HW100K for about 6 years and never gone wrong and used it most night . I had it serviced a few months ago , nothing wrong with it , just thought it might be worth it , its never been touched In that time . Had new adjustable hammer , all new O rings , reg cleaned and set up, did it shoot any better no , but at least it’s done for another 6+ years 7 Quote Link to post
