ether is good mate best thing is start from the back and send me the measurements if every 10mm as i might not be able to get full inserts but there might be enough meat to do halfs
freak barrel boring.
- Thread starter BayBlade
- Start date
not done one "yet" so im unsure mate im willing to give it a try on a battered one if you have or can get one or if you know of anyone that can take the dimensions for me
??? ME,,,
but it all depends on how thick your barrel wall is,,if you have a really thin barrel
by the time we bore out,, theres nothing left of your barrel,,
and to do full length inserts is hard, as you end up with a taper,,
next shorter inserts are better,,you can run your paint tighter as theres less insert for it to break in,, a campayne cork travels over 300 fps,,but its barrel if you like is only the length of the cork.. why.. its a tight fit,,
but you cant run tight for long or the shell on the ball breaks..
send me your barrel and i will tell you if it can be bored out,,

Again chaps. if you want a barrel bored, by me or monkey boy then you need to send us the barrel.
we need to know
1 how thick the wall is.
2 what kind of metal its made from.
3 how well its going to bore or turn.
some brands use better metal than others. and really the only way we can tell .is to post it to us and then we can let you know.

Caution - I've read any insert smaller than .687 might get pulled back out of the barrel by the bolt since it goes into the barrel when firing.
