.673 barrel blanks on amazon

[markdem]

Picked up some 17mm tube from amazon to see if it would work. It did. Didnt bother honing or anything. Wanted to see how well it shot with minimal work. I didnt do a whole heap of testing by clamping it to a bench or anything but i would say the accuracy is "normal"

...wanna make some freak inserts for us? Seems like there's a gap between the DLX/GOG/SP alum/stainless and JeeperCreeper's brass offerings😉

[sonixr7]

I would be in for a few.👍

This is a wet dream for the "tube is tube" people.

I am slowly becoming one of those people, I think the only time I've ever seen a significant improvement with accuracy on any level in paintball is shooting first strike over common paint.

Years ago when paint was much higher quality was a different story than now. Now I'm happy to just not get a square.

[Grendel]

I'm with you. There was a time barrels could make a difference, but that time is long gone with the quality of paint we get.

Everyone is a tube is tube person, even if they don't know it! Heavy tube, light tube, pretty tube, ugly tube...all is tube, m'Kaye

[Swedgin!!]

Sure, a tube is a tube but that’s a cool diy barrel 👍🏼

Do it.

Even if its an SL 68 barrel, it could be a lot of fun to make.

[Reflex0283]

Would you happen to know where different barrel thread specs are? That would be super helpful

[tyronejk]

zdspb.com is where I'd start looking

@Reflex0283


The SL 68-II barrel is .835 OD for 1.5". No threads as its just pinched. In addition to that your want a chamfer on the inner edge of the barrel, you dont need to get too precise with it but something close to a 30 degree chamfer should suffice, feel free to experiment on that.

I've always wanted to try a barrel that is a smaller bore down the complete length

If I had the tools I would do it as well

Way back when, the Lurker Paintball Eigen Barrel (V1) was a 1-piece, 14" single bore at .678 That was definitely underbore at the time.

j4 Also made a run of full length CB barrels. Those are neat.

ASIN is B0F4RLN4HB for anyone else looking for one.

[pneumagger]

If it’s measuring .6735 direct with calipers, it’s probably actually a couple thou larger than that.

calipers measure round IDs poorly. you’d want to try some bore mics, telescoping bore gauges, or even just using a pair of pin gauges

Made a cheap lapping tool. A few passes with 220 grit to get rid of the lumps and then straight to 1500 to to give it a slight polish. Bores out to around .677 now

no need for a lathe. You could do this with a power drill

[flyweightnate]

I'm planning to run an old flex hone down mine when it comes. Only 2 more weeks on the boat until I can try it out...
