ok, for 6mm airsoft bb's the optimal size is 9/32. 1/4 is to small and 5/16 to big. BUT make sure to take a bb with you as sometimes the brakeline is thicker and the bb won't fit in it anymore.

I think it is 1/4 inch. But I'd recommend you buy a real one online. Brake line is 7 mm so there will be some blow by.

your welcome, just on a side note some people use 1/4 inch brake line as barrels but all that size that I have found don't fit 6mm bb's. Like my new avatar I changed it because someone else had the same kitty :(
