  • L96 Barrels

    Found this on another site thought it could be very helpful:

    This is from a dude called The Crimson Falcon on another forum, who clearly has far to much time to spend on airsoft hope it convinces you!

    "EdGI Custom 6.01mm Bull Barrel (Also has 6.00mm Bull Barrels available)

    Build Material: Brass.
    Length: 435mm.
    Thickness: Bull barrel thickness.
    Break-in Period? No.
    Accuracy at 150 feet: Approximately 1.5" on average, .75" on best grouping.
    Tolerances: Very high quality. Rank 1 out of 5. +/1 .0012
    Crowning? Yes, very good quality job.
    Affordability: Low. Average cost is 40+52 shipping (USD), so this barrel is more expensive than most of the other alternatives, excepting the PDI.
    Brief Synopsis: The EdGI barrel is designed specifically for the JG BAR-10, although it will fit in the VSR-10 as well. You can get EdGI barrels by emailing him at [email protected]. Cost runs around 35-40, and shipping is 52 via FedEX from the Philippines. EdGI barrels are unique because they are bull barrels; that is, they are thicker than any other aftermarket barrel on the market. They also include a number of features. EdGI barrels are among the best barrels you can buy for the VSR, in part because they're thicker, and hence suffer less from vibrations. EdGI also offers ported barrels, which are even more accurate. The crowning on the barrel is very nice, and the interior is well-polished, and does not require a break-in period.

    DBCustom 6.01mm Barrel

    Build Material: Brass.
    Length: 430mm.
    Thickness: Slightly more than standard thickness.
    Break-in Period? Yes (1000 rounds)
    Accuracy at 150 feet: Approximately 2.7" on average, 1.3" on best grouping.
    Tolerances: Very high quality. Rank 2 out of 5. +/- 0.0015
    Crowning? No, it's straight cut.
    Affordability: Medium. Average cost is 60 USD shipped, so this barrel is the most affordable high-quality 6.01mm barrel.
    Brief Synopsis: The DBCustom barrels are unique in that they are universally cut, and can fit most AEG's, the VSR and it's full clones, the AGM MP001, and the UTG M324/DE M50. They are very good quality, and are the most affordable of the 6.01mm barrels. The owners are very knowledgeable and friendly, and they have among the very best customer service of any company that I have ever dealt with. The one fault I find with their barrels is that they aren't polished, and have minor imperfections in the barrel that throw off accuracy until they've been broken in. Accuracy is still superb, and these are probably the best option for an airsofter who has a budget, but wants the best possible performance for the money. In terms of sheer value per dollar, it's hard to beat a DBC barrel, and the universal cut makes them very nice. The VSR barrel will NOT fit the Tanaka M700/M40/M24, sadly, so I'll be buying another from them soon.

    PDI 6.01mm Barrel

    Build Material: Steel.
    Length: 555mm.
    Thickness: Slightly more than standard thickness.
    Break-in Period? No.
    Accuracy at 150 feet: Approximately 1.6" on average, 1.1" on best grouping.
    Tolerances: Highest quality, laser cut steel. Rank 1 out of 5.
    Crowning? Yes.
    Affordability: Very low. Average cost is 155 USD shipped, so this barrel is the most expensive tightbore barrel.
    Brief Synopsis: PDI barrels are the most expensive barrels, and are very high quality. They are laser-cut cold tempered steel, with the best tolerances of any barrel, but do not have any other special features like DBC or EdGI barrels. If you have the money, and you want the absolute best quality barrel that will not scratch easily, and will preserve its groupings, go PDI. They're quite expensive, but very reliable.

    Laylax 6.03mm Barrel

    Build Material: Steel.
    Length: 303mm (GSPEC) or 430mm (RS/PS).
    Thickness: Standard thickness.
    Break-in Period? No.
    Accuracy at 150 feet: Approximately 4.0" on average, 3.1" on best grouping.
    Tolerances: Highest quality, laser cut steel. Rank 4 out of 5.
    Crowning? Yes.
    Affordability: Medium to high. Average cost is 45 USD shipped, so this barrel is one of the cheaper tightbore barrels.
    Brief Synopsis: Laylax barrels are good choices for those on a budget, but who want decent accuracy. They're not the best, but the steel construction won't scratch, and they are nicely crowned.

    Tanio Koba Hop-Twist Barrel

    Build Material: Steel.
    Length: varies.
    Thickness: Standard thickness.
    Break-in Period? No.
    Accuracy at 150 feet: Approximately 1.5" on average, 1" on best grouping.
    Tolerances: Highest quality. Rank 1 out of 5.
    Crowning? Yes.
    Affordability: Medium. Average cost is 75 USD shipped.
    Brief Synopsis: Tanio Koba Twist barrels are the barrels for those who have to stay under 1J. They will not work with guns that fire over 360 fps. They have a twisted groove, something like rifling, in the barrel which creates a rotating air cushion around the bb. This keeps the bb stable, and preserves its momentum, allowing staggeringly good range and accuracy out of a low FPS gun. Advantages include faster ROF, lighter bolt pull, and no need for upgrade parts."
