    Fentons or Ratworks Weihrauch HW100 Lightweight Air Tube Cylinder

    Toying with the idea of buy a weihrauch lightweight air cylinder but not sure which one to go for
    Don't want A&M one as they have no valve so you cant take cylinder off when full of air
    so got it down to the Fentons or Ratworks they both in my price range


    Any one had experience of the to makes good or bad

    Thanks

    Don’t think you can take the Ratworks one off with air in either though I’m not 100% sure.

    Sorry misread post - it does have a bleed valve though

    Fentons tube

    Received this morning.
    It is excellent, very well packed and a very high quality item, I am very pleased and can recommend them 👍
    not fitted to a HW100 though I’ve modified some old end fittings and fitted to my RAW 🙂

    I have a Ratworks with Mano and am pleased.

    I also had reg and a tune.

    Not been able to get a full fill in the boittle yet or do some strings to see how consistant and shot count yet. previous was 4 maybe 5 mags in .177.... that seems to be a thing of the past.

    Can recommend Ratworks kit and service.

    How often do you want to do that exactly ?

    Plus the small seal on the action where it goes into the action doesnt really like having a cylinder with air in it especially on removal where high pressure air passes out.

    It is a noon issue for me tbh.

    Ratworks cylinders are removable when full.
