Make Your Own Barrel

[Skelo]

I have an old Stingray II as my backup gun and I was bored the other day so I found a PVC pipe and it was raised at the end like a muzzle break looks on a DYE Alluminum, so I got out the drill and drilled holes into the end and then straight porting for about 8 inches, it slid right over the Stingray barrel and had a humongus bore, you then take a piece of paper and ball it up, stick it in the barrel and shove it through with a rod, which will get out all the excess plastic from drilling. Mine was extremely accurate and all you could hear was the gun, not from the barrel. It was so accurate I shot a basketball from 25 yards away 3 ties in a row! You can make them to fit over any barrel, mine didn't break any paint and was 18" long! Before I put this barrel on I would miss by 2 and 3 feet of the basketball because of the 6" stock barrel, another time I'll tell you how to make a two piece, cause I'm tired of typing.

How exactly DID you make it though, the details are a little blury to me.

[Pakman]

Yeah it sounds very interesting but I am still not sure exactly how you did it. Did you just take a piece of PVC about the diameter of a paintball barrel and then drill holes in it? Does it go over the stock barrel?

[Richy_C]

hmmm funny how the the pvc out did the stock barrel, not surprising, funny non the less

[Intruder]

maybe gun companies should put pvc pipes on their guns now instead of making barrels?

[Eladamri]

I don't see how that could possibly affect accuracy. He is leaving the old barrel on and extending it for an extra 10 inches. The only possible difference you would notice is that its now possibly easier to aim therefore causing the increased accuracy. With the diameter of the pvc being that much larger than the stock barrel, the paintball should never come in contact with it, and if it did it should cause the accuracy to be worse not better.

There are many barrels that used a stepped bore like that. They have a short section in the beginning that actually touches the barrel and the rest of the length is wider and allows for better air flow around the ball. that is what it sounds like the pvc pipe is doing. With only six inches on the stock barrel it is not using the gas very efficiantly. The barrel doesn't need to touch the ball to effect it's trajectory.

[Skelo]

A six inch non-ported stock Stingray barrel really sucks, like I say, I missed a basketball by 2 and 3 feet, the pipe has a large enough bore to fit over the barrel, and the Stingray barrel is very fat, and not one ball even broke but it may have done what pb ninja said, that makes sense. Add a lot of porting, I used straight porting, with a drill, go in one side and all the way through the other side, slide it on and your fit.

My friend considered making a barrel for his raptor- did'nt work out. Try the Stingray toters internet Group. They have a few barrel mods.

My friend made a Stingray barrel out of pipe also. It's actually pretty accurate.

[Witt]

Whoa..Thats pretty weird..Sounds like a fun experiment.

[simon woodstock]

a basket ball at 25 yards isn't that accurate, i can hit that w/ my spyder stock. i can hit a roll of duct tape at 50 feet

[A damn fool]

what he did was make a boostic. The fist 6 inches jut shots the ball, while the next are to guide the ball. Thats the whole idea behind a boomstick, the first part, which is smaller, just puses the paintball, but the second wider half just guides the apintball, and since he added a guider to the barrel, it is going to shoot more ccurate.

its a talon boomstick at a fraction of the cost! hooray!
