new tightbore?

[da1994]

Hey guys i've seen a new tightbore on a common airsoft site, I'm not sure how obvious a clue I can give, or I may be gunned down by the mods...

But what I think I can give as a clue is their initials are AW... and it happens to be a .net site...

Anyway, I've seen a tightbore barrel series branded as "Excel Silver Streak 6.01mm Match Tightbore"

I havn't heard of these in the tightbore world, and £35 for a 6.01 tightbore doesn't sound such a bad deal...

I presume they are made by Excel who make pretty good BB pellets :D but I havn't heard of them making barrels before

Has anyone had any experience with these before?

Hey

From what i know they are not made by Excel who make the bbs they are made by a company who are a very new which have just started up in HK or somewhere in that region. Im not sure what the quality is like but i presume it is pretty good as they are a small company so there quality may be better and if they are selling at that price then i would expect them to be good.I also belive that the Army of Who masks are made by the same company.

Ahh right, thanks for that

From my knowledge £35 for a 6.01 tightbore is a pretty good deal, so when I get my VSR I think I'll try it out, and If if like it, I might put it in my g36 when I get it too

Re: new tightbore?

Just remember if you use a 6.01 in the g36 use good quality bbs and clean the barrel frequently

Re: new tightbore?

Yes I'll make sure :D

Thanks

Re: new tightbore?

for ~£35 in a G36.. I would go for a madbull black python. top top notch performance guaranteed. and also, 6.03 would be better for a full auto AEG really.

Re: new tightbore?

Why would having a 6.03 be better than a 6.01? I know madbull are a good brand, and I've got one of their tightbores in one of my guns at the moment, but a 6.01 would mean better accuracy over the 6.03 shouldn't it?

I don't believe the difference between a 6.03 & 6.01 is anything you'd really notice. Infact some people say that a 6.03 is better as you have a better cushion of air for the BB to travel on!

Save up for a TK Twist barrel, they about £40 - £45. Very interesting results

Re: new tightbore?

For a sniper though, a 6.01 would be better than a 6.03 though? Or are you saying that a 6.03 would be better for that? I can kind of see where you're coming from for an AEG though..

Re: new tightbore?

Maybe, maybe not.

The problem is the whole internet is full of wild claims in either direction, hardly ever backed up by more than guess work.

I like this article, as somebody has actually taken the time to do some real tests. Not just head out following weekend and say 'It seemed better'!

Re: new tightbore?

Thanks for that, thats a very good article actually

Even after reading the article though, I still think I will continue to upgrade my guns

But it will make me think a little more I do so...

Thanks very much
