Tightbore Barrel Guide

So, you want to install a tightbore barrel on your electric airsoft gun. Great! But you're gonna need to know some information first, so read up!

LENGTH

590mm = PSG1

534mm = SIG550

509mm = M16 series and AUG

472mm = FAMAS

469mm = G3 series

455mm = AK47/47s

369mm = HK51

363mm = M4, SR16, XM177, SIG551

229mm = MP5 series

141mm = MP5K PDW

110mm = MP5K

Now that you know what length you what, you need to know what brand to get. Here's a quick run-through of the quality of some brands.

DB Customs - The best tightbore barrel you can get for the money. They are 6.01mm - the smallest diameter available mainstream. Good quality, but made of brass so it requires a ~1,000 BB "break-in" period. Regardless, the best for the money.

KM - Great quality tightbores. They are 6.04mm - not the best performance, but great quality.

Prometheus - Excellent tightbores. They are 6.03mm - good performance, excellent quality. Made of steel, so no break in period.

Madbull - The first version of Madbull's tightbores were, simply, fail. BUT, the black python tightbores are the good, new version. The black python are of good quality and are 6.03mm

PDI - Decent tightbores. They are 6.05mm - great quality, but not as good performance as a smaller bore. PDI's also makes 6.01's which are suburb.

Systema - Great tightbores. They are 6.04mm - great quality, good performance.

Deep Fire - Good tightbores. They are 6.02mm - good quality, gnoce performance and 6.04mm - good quality, average perfomance.
TK - Hard to find, special tightbores. They are made for stock TM AEG's (280 fps) and won't work with any AEG above 300 fps. They make the BB spin while giving it hop-up, giving even more range and accuracy. I am unsure of the bore of the barrel, but I do know it is a tightbore.

After you know that informantion, you should make your purchase, install it, break it in if it's needed, and skirmish!
OOh, and just to let you know, most AEG;s come with 6.08mm brass barrels.
