    A split pin if I remember. Measure the hole diameter and you should be able to buy a pin to suit. If not from Sportsmatch then off of eblag.

    It's a roll pin you need, not sure of the size though.

    You don't really need one with the one piece unless its a cannon that it's going on.

    You could drill it out and tap then use a grub screw if you wanted ?

    I'm sure that I've got one at home that I don't use from a set of two piece mounts; I'll dig it out and measure it up tonight, and if it's the same size, you can have it.

    I mounted a Sportsmatch one piece mount on a HW35 using the supplied roll pin and the recoil bent the pin!

    I now make my own arrestor pins from solid steel rod and use them with all my springers with no problems.

    Some are threaded, some use roll pins. The two threaded ones I have take standard M4 grubscrews, the others 4mm plastic roll pins - I didn't realise they were plastic until one bent and I had to take it out !

    On the only gun that gives a problem (an HW99) I have replaced the roll pin with a piece of steel rod I happened to have lying around. I cut it a bit short, packed the top with a bit of kitchen roll (all high tech me ) so the scope itself compresses it. Been in place three years now with no movement or problems at all.

    Use a small bolt. It doesn't have to actually thread into the hole as long as the bolt head fits into the HW arrestor stud hole - its not going anywhere.

    Ive never had any problems with recoil with the HWs Ive tuned. '35, '80, 30, 50, 77, 95 etc. It all depends on the ability of the tuner. I 'aim' for smoothness and not necessarily wringing the last once of power out of a gun.
