Cheers Fluff some good info there to quash those myths

Out of interest do you know what pellets HC are using now to set them up on?

I guess the one piece mount is also a personal preference for many shooters prefering this mount over 2 piece etc and a bonus that the HW100 action actualy allows one to be fitted due to the magazine not being in the way as with most Multishot PCP's.

Set your average HW100 to 11.4 with Superdome and I'll bet that I can make nearly all of them go above the limit by choosing a more suitable pellet.

The barrel band is a problem on every make of gun that I've used. It is not unique to the HW100. I initially used mine without the band (it's a barrel as strong as that used to cock the 18ftlb+ HW80's!) but now I use the band to support the cylinder, but I've removed the O ring from the part that the barrel passes through.

The two-piece action moving is a myth, unless the bolts aren't up tight. In my experience, those bolts are always very tight. There are also several dowel-like pieces and a step, that interlock the two halves.
I use a one-piece mount, but I don't think it's necessary.
