Hamolicious Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Recently I've been looking for a barrel extension and I've seen a lot of 6.01mm tight bore barrels and wanted to ask about them. On the packet of pretty much all BB bags it says 6mm-6.01mm precision therefore the 6.01 BB's will get stuck right, please explain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgeturner2001 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Most BBs are 5.95mm, not 6mm or 6.01mm. if your planning on getting a new barrel for an aeg get a 6.03 as that's the safer option as you'll be firing more BBs down the barrel.

Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted March 18, 2017 Supporters Share Posted March 18, 2017 As above, barrels are 6.01 to 6.03 usually (some go to 6.23) BBs are 5.95 more often than not, certainly most decent brands. What BBs are you using that claim 6.00-6.01 sizing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was worded like an observation or statement of fact. The OP was about compatibility between BBs and inner barrels, and established the parameters of the question. I would like to know if there are any BB packets out there that actually claim 6mm-6.01mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some less quality BBs are branded as 6mm, I'll have a look later and let you know which ones say 6mm opposed to 5.95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katana Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Just to add to this, barrel diameter mainly affects fps and not so much accuracy. Just look at bore quality for accuracy improvements. Prometheus is good, lonex is alright, PDI is pretty much top dog and ORGA barrels are also regarded as very good indeed. Madbull's are good for a very good intermediate barrel.
