300 Bar Charging - Weihrauch HW100

[simon77]

The adapter supplied with the HW100 is specifically for 232Bar cylinders as the threads are too short to create a seal on 300Bar bottles. If you've access to a lathe, simply turn down the adapter so it screws in further. Otherwise buy a 300Bar adapter from BAR or the likes...

Did not know that - when I bought my HW100 from new I fiited the supplied adaptor to my 300 bar bottle and it leaked at first. So I tightened it up a bit and it stopped. Never had any problems since.

I guess this may mean I have goosed the threads though

No mate, you've struck lucky and received a 300Bar adapter. The 232 jobbie is a good 2.5mm short and wouldn't seal...

Did you buy from BAR as they used to supply either adapters a while back...

No mate I got it from Dragon Field Sports in Wrexham. They didn't have a .177 in stock and had to order one in so I guess therefore it must be a recent build i.e. hasn't been on a shelf for a while.

Perhaps HC are providing all the new ones with 300 bar adaptors now?
