Hey follow 'softers!

I'm planning to upgrade my inner barrel by swapping it out from a 6.03mm diameter to 6.01mm which will increase the fps. Problem is my rifle is currently a little under the red line for most of my outdoor fields and I was wondering how much of an fps increase would be after my upgrade? I understand it's just one of those things that is 'how long is a piece of string?' but a few experiences would help me judge a bit at least. Oh forgot to add, It's an M4A1 so 363mm length barrel.

It will likely increase the FPS by at least 10. 

I would suggest ordering a shorter barrel or changing the spring

Yeah 15 fps on .2g bbs was my rough guess. 

Anyone else's experiences? 

Yeah think I'll change/cut the spring if needed if i go over mate

 
Why not just get a better quality 6.03 barrel? 

 
Better than what? A standard barrel? Sure, but that’s down to better quality than bore size. 

 
For a little better accuracy. I know there's a bit of debate on this but I've looked up plenty of info and it's all the same the 6.01mm gives better groupings. 


Hmm I would just go with a better quality 6.03 and not risk the possible BB jams, and not having to take apart the gearbox to change the spring myself.

 
Hmm you guys maybe right. Also, it seems it's impossible to get a prommy 6.01mm 363mm tightbore.
