I have emailed back and forth with Graham there and he says that Nigel at Silco is a good friend and that he gets HW barrel blanks from him from time to time for his own use and tuning of others.  He has no problem shipping to North America.  He is suppose to call on Monday to discuss how we might put together a group buy to give him a little negotiating power on the price with Silco and so he might can make a little money on the transaction.  That, and he likes Ray Wiley Hubbard and desires some tickets to the Texas Songwriter's Hall of Fame induction.  Who woulda' thought:  Snake Farm in Manchester. I think I can hook him up!

I hope this pans out.  I have some sinister plans for a 16mm choked barrel in .20.  (Insert evil scientist laugh here.)  If you are interested either post up or PM me.  Silco's list of available HW barrel blanks is at:  https://www.silco.co.uk/barrel-blanks-17-c.asp

Ray,

Can't you just buy this barrel direct form Lothar Walther?

Well, I guess I don't read so well.  HW is not LW!   

I jumped the gun.

Sorry,

barrel shots .177 Monster REDESIGNED very well. Probably they are producing  at LW but the twist rate is a little bit faster and choke is a little bit more tight then at  standard LW barrels .

Tom, I have one of those on a SynRod, started it after Dairyboy built his and inspired me to try the .20 in a PCP.  Motorhead built and tuned it and I later added the HW barrel.  It is a sweet shooter and loves the new 15.89 JSB.  I'll get us a price on a couple. Heck, I might even get a spare one. When Scott posted that he shoots HW barrels in .20 on his Daystate and RAW competition rifles, and in view of the championships he has won using them, that's all I needed to know.

That was downright funny Taso!  Peter, has that barrel extended the precision range of your gun beyond the previous barrel?  If so, how far?  Did it shrink your groups appreciably?
