MK2 buddy bottle to tube conversion

[Squinty]

How are you doing Kev?
I had that stock that you sold Vard a couple of years ago. The one with the bung in the gauge hole, and managed to buy it from Vard, along with a genuine GSX100 tube.
Like a dick, I let them go when I sold my rapid. The Robin on here has them now.

Just fitted a 200cc bottle to my rapid, so the weight issue is sorted. I'll still keep looking for another tube though. As it only a bunny rifle, shot count isn;t important. I have a compressor and no hassle to charge before every trip if needed.

I may be onto you at some point. This one I have is .22 and I'd far rather shoot .177, so I'll be keeping my eyes open for a barrel.

Hey up Rob,
I've just had a .177 HW100 barrel machined by Kev to fit a rapid.
They are a good snug fit in the block , already blued and screwcut, could be an option for you.
I get them from Knibbs .
Had a.22 done and it's Bob on .
Yet to give the .177 a good try out

Hi mate.
Let me know how you get on with that .177 barrel will you?
Was that one that was a direct fit for a 100, or a blank, and what length? Cheers

I have a HW100 177 barrel on my air-miser mk2, it was full length (600mm) trimmed to 19".
Bought it from SWS in Germany before Brexit was £117 before sending it up to Kev for porting.
They're close to 16mm- 15.85 >15.99  one might go into a block and the next only go in halfway.
It shoots well with Barracuda FT, Match and Premier 10.5s
