Have you tested a shorter barrel and a longer barrel, as well as the barrel diameter?

Some of us here on the site have done just that, thus is why many of us will try and stear people to a 6.03-6.05 inner barrel, as well as shorter. I have had a few rifles that had barrels under 300 mm's and they shot much better than the longer barrels that I have had.

I have tested from short to long, and tight to wide, and have found more times than not that your hop up will have more affect on the flight of the bb rather than the barrel. As long as you have a consistant inner bore it really doesn't matter how long your barrel is....BUT... there is a point of diminishing returns. To long of a barrel and you will start to loose velocity ( but again velocity isn't everything in this sport )

I would advise you towards the 6.03 or 6.04 sizes. You could honestly keep the stock barrel and just polish it. And use the money from a nee barrel on some hop mods.

Get the pdi hop chamber or do the tdc mod to the one you have.

If you absolutely want to get a new barrel look at madbull v2. Though the barrel is honestly the last thing you should get, because you can get better outcomes with other mods.

Wouldn't have to ....that is what a dremmel is for;-)

Well yeah cutting down to size... yeah.


But if you are cutting that grove for the bucking... a dremmel is fine, just go slow.


I say that because I am sure most people on here don't have access to a mill and a lathe like we do cheese
