There's the Career if you have 75 quid to spare, or you can get a Crosman 2260 barrel for 1/3 of that price.ALIHISGREAT wrote:aww they are catergorised by model... so i can't just look at all the barrels in one section, do you know of a .22 air rifle with a long barrel?

that sounds like a plan since iv already gone through the time and effort cutting the grove on the plane barrel. do u think theyd ship to Australia? customs?Air rifle barrels are usually short by spudgun standards, what you can do is have a long smoothbore barrel then graft the airgun barrel to the end of it, this way you get high acceleration and the benefits of rifling.
That's a tough question that depends on whether the rifling/barrels is/are lined up, and whether the rifling had an equal twist rate at both ends of the barrel. Quite a few barrels don't.ALIHISGREAT wrote:...would sticking two rifled barrels together work as long as they are the same?
I'm sure a rifled barrel would attract attention at customs, particularly in a place with such strict gun control.dyldo wrote:that sounds like a plan since iv already gone through the time and effort cutting the grove on the plane barrel. do u think theyd ship to Australia? customs?
what a silly question, EPOXY of coursehow would you suggest graphting the two barrels JSR
Different twist rates aren't that much of a problem, for example in this Elswick Ordnance Company 6 inch Mk. IX gun, the twist rate changes 5 times along the barrel length - though of course, the rates would have to match at the point where the barrels meet, otherwise it could tear your pellet to shreds.That's a tough question that depends on whether the rifling/barrels is/are lined up, and whether the rifling had an equal twist rate at both ends of the barrel.

all you need is a wooden dowel of the right diameter et voila, problem solved - that's how I align my silencers etc.ALIHISGREAT wrote:the problem is finding a perfect smoothbore tube and then alligning it perfectly

i got it from a Reece irrigation store not sure if u have the stores in America but an irrigation store would carry them i s pose.Where did your get that small sprinkler valve? Can you get it in America?
Yer true i need to try something though im finding my pellets/ projectiles are tumbling in the air.I'm sure a rifled barrel would attract attention at customs, particularly in a place with such strict gun control.
A medium weight airgun pellet will not tumble, even if fired from a smoothbore barrel, because of it's shuttlecock or "diablo" shape - 0.22 pellets can be made to fit like so, and 0.25 pellets should fit comfortably too if you swage them down a little.dyldo wrote:Yer true i need to try something though im finding my pellets/ projectiles are tumbling in the air.
will making them longer or shorter help?
A good (and usually free) source of smaller solenoid valves is old washing machines and dishwashers, very suitable for BB barrels.Where did your get that small sprinkler valve?

yes im cutting 6mm steel rod which is actually 6.3mm into 15-20mm lengths to use as slugs cheap and readily available. i cant get bbs as yet working on it thoughAre you making your own projectiles or using something commercially available?

through the projectile? or the barrel?what would help is keeping the same length but drilling a 5mm hole down about 75% of the way to act as a tail
Sorry to hear that - perhaps there is too much friction in the system?dyldo wrote:the semi-auto mechanism isn't working its not moving forward enough to cover the hole and the spring isn't reseting it so iv giving up for a while:(
I mean the projectile, as per the attached diagram:dyldo wrote:through the projectile? or the barrel?
