Tight Bore barrel

[2RIR]

Hi all, looking for a bit of advice, I'm looking to upgrade my krytac trident mk2 spr and crb, so as I live in Northern Ireland we're stuck to 1 joule and I've put a maple leaf bucking and their omega nub in both and truthfully not much if any difference, so I know the stock barrel in both are 6.05mm and that prometheus do barrels for krytac but are they worth it, or do they even make a difference at 1 joule. Thanks in advance for your help and look forward to hearing from you.

That'll cost you what, £60 or so delivered. I would be very surprised if you see a measurable improvement. As you've already discovered with the maple leaf, the stock setup in these guns is decent.

Personally, I wouldn't bother. The OEM brass barrel on the Krytac is fairly decent from what I've seen/heard. 

Internal finish is more important than the bore size, but the Hop Rubber/Nub combo has a far more significant impact overall, and you've already done those.

 As @Cr0-Magnon says, it's unlikely you'll see much, if any, improvement with a tightbore. You might see a slight FPS increase though, which is something you'll need to careful of given NI Laws.

What ammo do you use?

That'd be a better starting point than changing anything internally.

Use good quality, mid-weight ammo like 0.28 - 0.32 (if you're not already), where suitable before changing anything.

I'm using 0.25g bbs I can put 0.28g bbs in it but it puts me right at the limits, some shots went over some didn't so I just used the 0.25g just to be safe, I've just got the barrel today from a local retailer, luckily if I don't see any change then he will let me return it so I'll let you know what the results are.

Well gents, I'd said I'd let you know the results, I finally got round to putting my barrel into my krytac but before I did I checked my grouping at 25mtrs and it was pretty decent. After I put the barrel into it I changed my bucking to a promy purple and a namazu firefly nub and flat hopped it and omg it made a hell of a difference to my accuracy, fps and range, unfortunately I can't test this beyond 25mtrs until game day this Sunday but in a cqb environment this is gonna be deadly.
