509mm is to long for a type 96, top choice should be 6.01 pdi, IMO best barrel ever, EDGI's used to be top notch but the newer ones manufactured in NJ are not the same quality but should still be top 3

I meant just length down the outer barrel,

you are correct that fps and bb weight change the traditional volume ratios. I have a stock type 96 pushing 610 and it is way to much air and turbulence comeing out the barrel with the exact same internals on another I have a 590 MM barrel and it is perfect. From my experience a 590 mm barrel with pdi type 96 internals pushing 600 fps is the perfect combination.

Very interesting

Shooting 610fps > What gun and spring were you using out of curiosity?

I've read in other forums that porting was inconclusive in terms of positive performance. Is there a significant change in accuracy on your part?

I forget the url link, but I think on the same page someone mentioned a barrel that was drilled in a spiral fashion along the length of the barrel (similar to real silencer designs) to "silence" the gun. Just throwing my find out there

I'll look for the link soon.

It is a well mb08 with a pdi 170sp
