I would hardly call an HW100 barrel 'mated' to the action, these are 'assembly line' guns not hand built specials. A barrel will be taken from the rack and inserted to an action and the grub screws tightened to lock in in place.
By changing barrels it could well indicate whether your barrel has developed a fault or whether it is a power plant issue.
People who have been there focus on the fundamentals. People who sit at keyboards all day focus on the trivial and inane.
