Only the Mk.III Hawk was purposely sold with just one barrel, which was fixed: G.
I can guarantee that my MkII was bought new, and it was definately supplied with just a .22 barrel. If mine was supplied that way, and so was IanU's MkI it would seem to sugest that it may have been an option. What would a shop gain by removing the additional barrel? Especially a shop like the one mine was bought from that didn't sell air gun parts?
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
