ikarma70 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Hi guys, thinking of upgrading my svd barrel to a decent tightbore barrel and what I would like to know is what is a quality brand for the reasonable price( was thinking of a mad bull black python 6.03mm) but not sure of the barrel length. My stock barrel can put shots onto a tin can at 40 yards using the open sights so is it worth buying a tb barrel? Many thanks Andy
RR01 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 The stock barrel isn't bad, but it's about a 6.08, so quite wide by airsoft standards. I've put a 6.01 in mine, which does mean I have to use very good quality ammo, as a game with less than perfect BBs saw a couple get jambed in the barrel. The standard inner is 600mm long, so a standard length to replace it will be a 590mm, although you could put a 650mm in there, but the inner would then be visible inside the flash hider. If you are going to change the inner then I would also change the hop unit as well, as the OE unit isn't that good. AirsoftPro.cz do the best unit - http://airsoftpro.cz/eshop/product_info.php?cPath=93_204&products_id=1814&osCsid=d6022784d5e8c212edbdecaac7a1c8ee The cost isn't that bad and delivery is usually fairly quick.
ikarma70 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks for replying, I decided to buy a 650mm 6.03 barrel from socom tactical and I will see what my finances are later to upgrade the hop up.

What RR01 said! I put a 650mm madbull 6.03 in mine as well as the advanced hop unit and it went from being a good sniper rifle to an incredibly pin-point accurate rifle that out shot everything else that it came against. Unfortunately, my inner barrel broke as one of the grub screws was tightened too far and it ruined the barrel so now I'm running a 6.03 A&K 650mm barrel. It's good...but it's not the same as the madbull! If you're thinking of upgrades, have a look at the SVD section on airsoftpro...some of the things they sell are exclusive and really do make a difference
ikarma70 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 I have the airsoft pro site saved in my bookmarks, got some nice goodies on there!
ikarma70 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Decided to buy the hop up from ASPUK, guessing it's the same one as the Czech site and my barrel was a card through the door so I will collect it today after work.
