Ok so I have been looking at all of this talk that now PDI is saying that now the 6.08mm tightbore is more accurate then the 6.01mm tightbore.
This is the image that has been published by PDI saying that the 6.01 tightbore is actually less accurate then the 6.08 barrel. Seems a little different because I know that people have always told me that the tighter the bore than the more accurate your gun will be. Well I have been reading these articles and decided to try this out for myself. Also with this testing I decided to also test the polishing idea, that if you polish the inside of the barrel with regular liquid car polish then it will fill in the small holes and cracks in the barrel and make the air flow better, giving the gun more accuracy.
All tests were done with a TM VSR-10 G-Spec with a PRO sniper 430mm barrel kit on it, the hop-up rubber was a Firefly Hard Type, and the spring was a Laylax 190m/s spring. The bb's used were Super Grand Master .29g BB's. All of the groupings are done with five shots.
Below is a picture of what groupings I got when I had installed my old stock barrel into my rifle, which the inner barrel diameter is 6.08mm, the groupings are pretty usual for a 30 foot shot with a stock barrel. This is with the barrel freshly cleaned and oiled, but not polished.
This next picture is one of my Dees Customs 6.01mm tightbore barrel, 430mm long, and no polish, just freshly cleaned and oiled. Not very surprising that the tightbore would do better then the stock barrel, right??
Before I show you the pictures of the groupings after being polished here is the polish that I used.
Ok well here is the picture of the STOCK barrel after being polished again at the same 30 foot distance.
Quite amazing considering that here is the TIGHTBORE after being polished.
So now that the fact that polishing the barrel does in fact greatly improve the acuracy of stock barrels, and that it amazingly made it more accurate at a closer distance then the 6.01mm tighbore was. I decided that it was time for some long range shots. I decided to take the target out to 100 feet and see if the tightbore would prevail over the stock barrel.
To my amazement this is what the groupings looked like, at 100 feet and using the STOCK barrel this is what I got.
Now I looked at these results and was just amazed at how could this be possible, so then I decided to go on ahead and test the 6.01mm all mighty tightbore and this is what I got.
So this information is enough to prove to me that tightbore barrels do nothing but add friction onto the bb and make it spin off at a distance, polishing the barrel really does marvels, these results have changed how I buy airsoft barrels.
