I am currently useing .43s but I want the longer barrel for looks. The one now is great, but I really like how the 26” SRS with long hand guard looks.Why do want that amount of length? I'm not familiar with the cylinder volume on the SRS, but you're not gaining any accuracy and you're probably just losing FPS/accuracy with those barrel lengths.
I'm guessing around 450mm is ideal for .32g.
so will having a longer outer barrel not decrease my accuracy? I though that the empty space might not be greatIf you're going to extend the length of the outer barrel but keep the length of inner, make sure you have the end cap wide enough (if you use one), same goes for suppresors so that the BB won't hit it and mess the trajectory.
APS made stainless steel 708mm inner barrel for their VSR, might as well get it and trim it down to desired length should you want to. Oh hey, they made a 685mm too. But that window doesn't seem like a good design... But their VSR performs decent, so I guess it should work
Anyway, I am more of the type to have enough inner barrel length, so if I want to have longer outer barrel I would remove the end cap and use the remaining space as an integral suppresor if possible.
I was hoping to keep the same inner barrel as I have perfect FPS at the moment. But wasn’t sure if it would mess with the flight path.I am currently useing .43s but I want the longer barrel for looks. The one now is great, but I really like how the 26” SRS with long hand guard looks.
You can think of it as the BB is flying to the target in open air as normal, but in a more controlled environment since it is still inside the outer barrel. As long as it doesn't touch anything before it leaves the outer barrel, it will be fine.[so will having a longer outer barrel not decrease my accuracy?

Do you need different barrel spacers for the normal barrel vs the sport one?You can think of it as the BB is flying to the target in open air as normal, but in a more controlled environment since it is still inside the outer barrel. As long as it doesn't touch anything before it leaves the outer barrel, it will be fine.
Also put a barrel spacer at the end of the inner barrel to support it.
It will look like this
Right now I am looking to get it away from the sport barrel. That’s why I have been looking at doing a 18” or 26”. I like the way the fluted barrel looks. If I was 30mm short with my inner barrel length would that be bad?I just checked their website, and normal SRS barrels (one that has fluted, smaller "tapering" profile) does not uses barrel spacers as their inside diameter is 8.56mm, a snug fit to a conventional inner barrels. So they are not a good idea if you use inner barrel that is shorter than the outer.
The barrel that use spacers are the sport and gspec one. To be noted, SRS bull barrel in their site has similar look as the two aforementioned but longer, but it has the same 8.56mm inside diameter as the covert, so stay away for shorter inner barrel build.
Hence, if I have sport 16" and want to extend it to 22" style without the inner barrel, I would just get their carbon barrel extension XS size and use it like a normal suppresor.
Alternatively, if carbon barrel texture is more to my liking, I would get a gspec barrel (basically a sport barrel but even shorter) and M size barrel extension. Either way I would widen the end cap though, just to make sure.
Ok, I did find a 685mm inner barrel, so I could use that, would having the longer inner barrel have any adverse effect?I think that you could go a lot shorter with your inner barrel if you want to, as 8.5mm is a pretty normal size when it comes to airsoft suppressor filling, which in some cases will add 300mm of space for your BBs to go through. As long as your barrel can't rattle around that much, you should be fine if your outer barrel is a bit longer
