    Hw100 - quick question

    Been years since I removed the air cylinder from my hw 100, does it just unscrew out of the gun or does the stock need to be removed?

    Mine doesn't want to unscrew by hand easily and I don't want to force it.

    Cheers

    Just unscrews. There is an initial resistance due to the air pressure between the cylinder and rifle.

    If there 8snt much air in... you could dry fre until it dumps and all pressure is released. May make it easier. Take care if it is aftermarket like an FX cylinder as you could actually unscrew the cylinde4 and leave the cylinde4 end in the guns action.
    But if its an HW elephant truncheon steel it should unscrew. Taking the action out may assist with grip

    If it's a stock cylinder then yes it should just unscrew and vent a tiny bit of pressure as it loosens. If it's aftermarket like A&M etc then you cannot remove it while there is pressure so you'd have to drain it before unscrewing.

    I have a A&M on my hw100.

    Empty as much gas as possible by dry firing.
    Unscrew cylinder gently and slowly until the first hiss. Make tea. Repeat until cylinder free.

    Thanks Baz, not often I win best-of-breed these days..

    The a&m do not have a valve so you need to be careful when releasing if they are still pressurised.

    Standard hw does so no need but I'm sure you already knew that.

    No idea about Fenton tubes.
