Freak inserts smaller than 0.675?

[durandal]

Are there freak inserts smaller than 0.675? Was getting rollouts on paint I bought last week. F*cking brutal.

[Ecapnation]

Oof...reball insert maybe?

Or custom.

My advice.... Find better paint

[durandal]

Can’t. Field paint only 🤷🏻♂️

[Ecapnation]

Find a new field.... Ha!

[BrickHaus]

Yeah, locally, Ive Yet to need under a .682.. i almost always end up with a .684 inster in when using my kit. Ive had a .679 insert for years and havent needed it yet. Youe field offer premium and standard? Ive found standard boring better as of late. (Gi)

They used to sell tourney paint to personals before the pandemic, now its lvl3 only unless you’re on the speedball team

I just bought a .675 for the latest field paint and had thought the same thing. I know I will need smaller at some point

Time for some .670 ID titanium pipe with a proper OD and a pipe cutter

I have a .670 that Ty made a few years ago. He is out of the PB business now though.

The brass ones me to they are my favorite Freak inserts.

[durandal]

Willing to let it go? I desperately need it.

[Meleager7]

I think they handed you a bag of .50 cal when you weren't looking :P

[Alexndl]

Seem like its slowly getting there...

675 is the reball insert

I'm in the same boat, but now I'm moving to the XL. I plan on buying smaller interests but have had local paint be not snug in 675

Ah....yeesh.
Yeah I don't see below .684 lately

[Jonnydread]

Wedgits man, wedgits.

[Jonnydread]

durandal I've experienced that as well. I assume you're using the largest o-ring? You could try finger detents in conjunction too, those function without regard to paint size.

[durandal]

I’ll have to try that next time, gotta dig them out of my parts box

[durandal]

Jonnydread Do you know if the finger detents will work on roundhead bodies?

[RedLeaderSB]

I made some from brass recently. Tube stock, OD turn, cut to length.

[OpusX]

So I guess the question is, what are freak and XL insert dimensions (length and OD)? Seems some McMaster-Carr shopping might be in order.

I should be ordering a kit soon if nobody else gets you these measurements first

Who was it that made the brass inserts, I recall a .670 was made.

But yeah, I have given up on all that. A way to prevent roll outs + whatever barrel.

The wizard you seek is tymcneer but he practices this magic no more...

-8.000" long by nominally .750". (Most often about .745" to .748".)

Doc.

[OpusX]

See a smart person showed up. Thanks Doc

[durandal]

Found a green reball insert that says its 0.670 on ebay. Gonna try that out and report back, if not finger detents are the backup plan.

Complete side note, but you’re a Marathon fan I take it? Loved that series.
