Alright, I ordered the AirsoftGI 6.01 TBB a couple of months ago because I was strapped for cash. For $35, It had to give me some sort of accuracy increase over the stock barrel which wouldn't even let me hit a soda can at 40ft

So I go ahead and install the barrel ( the hop up is shimmed, bucking is seated correctly and cleaned) Then go to shoot it. At ~180ft the BB curves about 5ft to the right almost every time.

All I can think of is that It has to be the barrel. Any thoughts to why this is happening?

FYI: I am using washed KSC .30g BB's

Help would be HIGHLY appreciated

I have the same problem occurring after a game this weekend.

Using a 6.01mm barrel, KSC .3 bbs, and get curve to the right every time. I need to check my shim on the hop up arm, which might be out of place and applying uneven pressure, and will reply once I test out the re-shim.

KSC .3s aren't the same as there .2s or .25s, IDK what it is, but they're not as consistent. Is the curve consistent? Also, a cheap barrel at that diameter isn't probably going to help much. Hell, I think a V2 Madbull would be better than the ASGI .01.

I just got paid for 5 days work and I'm going to invest into a PDI Raven barrel. I'll also try using some different bb's, any recommendations?

Yes, the curve is consistant even after I shimmed the hop up arm about four times. :/

I don't even like the PDI Raven barrels to be honest. I stick with Madbull, KM Head, Prommy, PDI 6.05+ or EdGI. As for BBs, I use G&G .28s, Biovals in .27 or .3, and SGMs and washed GBs. Some people like madbull but I don't.

You stick with madbull, but don't like them

Anyway, why don't you like the PDI Raven barrel's? All I've heard is good.

 

[metallicafatcat]

Err, there barrels, not the BBs. I just don't think allocating money to a lower end barrel in that diameter is worth the hassle.

I always have a right curve problem with my vsr's. Just need to align the bucking + teflon it, Very often.

 

[fuzzywolly]

Yeah, Ct Man is right, the barrel is most likely not the problem. I have learned this is a very very common problem. I had been readjusting the hop up often and now after shim/tape, am going to try my best to keep it steady at a certain hop level to avoid shims and tape getting worn down/out of place.

Alright, thanks for the help guys

I currently use a raven barrel in my rifle, and I can say that they have worked wonderfully for me. Granted, it's not as good as a regular pdi, but compared to other barrels it's price range, it's very good.
