I'm not sure if this the right section for my question, but I was wondering what is the average diameter of the front section of most barrel systems (Boomstick, Freak, S63, etc.)? I would guess at least 0.695 since the upper range for inserts usually goes that high.

Depends on the age of the barrel. I would say .690 is the average. but some newer barrels have been made to smaller id to compensate for industry standard small bore. -

The previous answer still applies to barrel fronts. I'm pretty sure PE changed their barrel front ID a handful of years ago due to smaller paint and Inception Designs has been offering different size barrel fronts for a while.Comment

That’s a newer barrel it’s definitely going to have a smaller bore compared to the older planet barrels. Jack isn’t one to leave anything on the table when designing stuff.Comment

I just checked:
PE S63 14" tip = 0.700 ID.
Nova 2 piece 14" tip = 0.701 ID.
Empire 2 piece 14" tip = 0.704 ID.
I have two other brands of sets i will check later, these are not the sizes i expected.
Update for records sake:
J&J edge 2 piece 14" tip = 0.705 ID.
J&J ege 2 piece 10" tip = 0.694 ID.
I wish i had more short 2 pieces to check now. Makes me wonder if the longer they are, the larger the tip ID is?Comment

I measured my Smart Parts fronts and, they all came in at .70
