Yes.Ok, I did find a 685mm inner barrel, so I could use that, would having the longer inner barrel have any adverse effect?
Why would I lose power? Also will the small outer barrel sizer hurt?Yes.
You'll probably lose power with any BBs heavier than .25g, and when barrels get that long the chances of inconsistency in manufacturing increases hugely.
Unless it's a very high quality brand, I'd avoid it--you don't gain a thing by having a barrel that long.
I currently have a 420mm. I might just skip changing it then.Yeah, that would have a serious adverse effect, you'd lose a good deal of power I'd bet.
I'd go no longer than 500mm with the SRS, and I'm pretty sure the ideal length is between that and 400mm for sniper BBs.
Would it be worth it to get a different inner barrel? I believe the stock one is a 420mmx6.05mm brass.Yeah, I think you that your best way forward would be to follow the lapping tutorial in my signature, which should save you at least $40 on a barrel, and likely more by making it more accurate
Thats an interesting point; I am wondering what the impact is of having that space in between the inner and outer barrel, other than it being chronoed further from the edge of the inner barrel?The outer barrel shouldn't touch the BB even if it was a foot longer than the barrel. Be mindful that FPS will appear to drop, since you're chronoing farther from the barrel.
I'll have to doublecheck my chronograph readings then--I marked a decrease in FPS when using an eight inch silencer. Not big time, but enough that I questioned my airseal until I took the silencer off and chronoed again.You will see zero power loss by having your gun a foot away from your chrono, you'd have to be more like 5 feet away to see anything. I have a Caldwell chrono and am able to shoot over it at up to 50m, and you definitely see serious losses at that distance.
As for the inner barrel, I would suggest that you don't change it unless you get a PDI, Faceless(nicer PDI), Lambda, DaVinci, or EdGi, and I would not buy one of those unless you need a 6.01 or tighter. I highly recommend lapping your barrel, it will perform better than anything, except Faceless or EdGi.
Personally, I think unless you really overvolumed the gun, you shouldn't see a change in accuracy. I've heard people theorize that the outer barrel being longer than the inner could provide increased accuracy, but I don't think it really matters.Thats an interesting point; I am wondering what the impact is of having that space in between the inner and outer barrel, other than it being chronoed further from the edge of the inner barrel?
Is the hop effect going to diminish that much sooner? Is the longer outer barrel acting as pressure mid-point between the inner barrel and the environment?
Ok thank you. I have watched the reviews but same with the MDRX, I got much better info from a personal review. I will probably stick with my SRS.There's some review out there in YouTube, and even here that you can search off. Basically, other than for the look and wallhanger, it is not worth it to get an HTI. But if that alone outweight anything for your taste, then be our guest.
Be mindful that it is heavy, unwieldy for airsofting coupled with the fact of how huge its magazine is despite only holds 38 BBs, and performs not much better than SRS and if any it performs the same. At least it has the same hop up chamber as SRS so you won't have a hard time looking for upgrades
I was looking at it purely for the .50 cal model. I have also been looking at the snowwolf Barrett m99. It uses ASP/type 96 internals. Do you know anything about it?I was helping a guy out on here who got one and was doing barrel and piston stuff, and he ended up not liking it after blowing at least 1.5K on parts, mags, scope, and general swag involved with a gun like that.
Irl I'm not sure how useful the real counterpart of the HTI is, but you would probably avoid using it at all costs because it's heavy and big as shit. Airsoft is not so bad as it's not as heavy I think, but you also don't have a range or power advantage over everybody else for the most part, and you're just lugging around massive expensive mags and a massive expensive gun and making yourself miserable.
If you wanna buy another gun for whatever reason though, I'd take a look at the Modify Steyr Scout or the ArchWick SPR300 as those are supposed to be pretty sick and of similar quality to Silverback snipers.
