Inner barrel question

Postby Sixxgun » Sat Sep 21, 2013 8:02 pm

So I was measuring the inside diameter of my vsr10 barrel to determine which barrel size it is the measurement came out to 5.87mm that's smaller than 6mm is this common?

I would check the calibration on the measuring device, than check again.

What brand is the barrel?

Anything smaller than 6.01 is generally undesirable due to manufacturer tolerances in bbs. That being said, Airsplat bbs are the largest I'm aware of at 5.97mm. Generally, bbs are 5.95+\- .03.

So I'm going to go something was screwed up in the measuring of the barrel (assuming it feeds and shoots normal airsoft bbs).

5.87mm = 0.231 inches
6.00mm =0.2362 inches
6.01mm = 0.2366 inches
6.03mm = 0.237 inches
6.08mm = 0.239 inches

What was your inch number?

I think "yiyi" is a bot :shock: Shooting out of a 5.87 would be like sucking golf balls through a garden hose.
I'm the osiris of this.
