    Nothing 'wrong' as such with mine as is. But i like to have my rifles the best they can be, a smaller fps variation and a huge shot count increase is good in my book. Gun tuned and serviced properly, anti tamper removed to aid fine tuning. Its a good service and upgrade. The parts alone add up a fair bit. Titanium cylinder you can fill to 250 bar. The shot count as standard is fine for hunting but not for club sessions. For me personally that is. I love the hw100 but the low shot count of the kt is an issue for me. Ill happily pay to have mine done. Though it will be next year.

    You can only fill those cylinders to 250 bar if you have a reg fitted
    My HW100k will have about 5 fps spread , anti tamp has been taken out when I had a service , set up and all O rings replaced for the price of £95
    Sorry I just don't see it ,£800 for a new hw100 then spend half of that again on a tune ,when this gun is already one of the best PCP's if not the best sub 12

    Yep, each to their own mate, i agree, theyre a great rifle. A huma reg is also part of the package, enabling you to fill to 250 bar. The guys are also working on their own design reg too so may end up being an even better package. Like i say, each to their own. Its not for everyone but its not a bad price when you know everything that goes into it. New internals, titanium tube, huma reg, obviously serviced properly and the reg/hammer set up all balanced perfectly. Just makes a great rifle even better. And totally worth it to me and others. If youre happy with yours then great, its not for everyone, i just want mine to be a little more. I have a new hw100 and it doesnt have a 5fps spread over the whole fill. I doubt any will. Though it is very accurate and a lovely rifle to shoot.

    There isn't much difference in fps spread between my TTR or my btas HW with the ti tube and reg, but the increase in shots on the k model with the extra fill pressure and external reg is noticeable. I can get 90+ shots out of a 220 bar fill, and I'm still slightly fiddling the reg setting.
    However both will castrate at gnat at any range you want them too so long as you put in the leg work and that's all that matters to me.

    So do you have both the BTAS hw100 and a tench hw100?

    No I have a btas hw100 and have previously had a tench (Simon) regged AA s410k.
    My btas 100 had a horrific cylinder leak that was unfixable so I changed it back from an fx tube to a hw-tuning titanium tube and huma reg.
