Hammer forged barrels

Hi Chris,

Did you decide not to bother trying out a HW100 barrel?

Have to say that the HW barrel fitted to my Steyr is an absolute gem, and my HW100KT is also another very good barreled rifle.

Mike...you sod

I did put it on the back burner....until i read your post.

I think i will order a couple of barrels and get them sorted to fit the Steyr. i still fancy trying a .20 as well as the .177.

Call me old fashioned but I tend to like my barrel bores to be vageluy central to the barrel and for the rifling to have some touch of the pellet some of the way down it. Left in a warm room, after getting the pellet past the initial tight spot I've actually blown the slug out using my mouth from one of them.

My experience of BSA barrels is they can be very good, but seem to need larger pelelts.

The below chronicles my experiences with BSA barrels, including considerable input from Bozzer.

I've had far less hassle with LW. But the most accurate gun I currently own has a polished, topped and tailed, BSA barrel.
