Lightweight cylinder HW 100 carbine recommendation

[I. J.]

A club member and friend bought this off that there internet web auction site brand new for his HW100. On the first fill, after fitting his spare ends, at 150 BAR it split from top to bottom. He was lucky not to lose his hand. After he had come back from the toilet he rang the supplier. From what I gather they tried to tell him, an ex engineer, that he had over filled it. He got a refund. Motto: Buyer beware. Cheap isn't always best.

I have some experience with these as I work for Steve at HW100 Tuning. My response is likely to appear biased and it is due the superior quality of the HW100 Tuning product and also what it brings with it.

Going back to the OP's original question, out of his list the Ratworks is the one to go for, I wont say any more.

The HW100 Tuning product is a whole concept and I've been lucky enough to be there through its inception and ongoing research and design programme. It isn't just a Titanium tube, it's redesigned cylinder ends, different gauge, on board regulator, upgraded inlet valve, pre-chamber, high efficiency valve, AT upgrade, upgraded hammer and valve springs.

Steve isn't one to sit on his laurels and all I can say is there's plenty more in the pipeline.
