Vercingetorix Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Uh... It says that they are making i for the WA and Marui, and PTW is in the future.... Dunno why commented about the ptw here Link to post Share on other sites
Hispeed1 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 This is just a 7.5" barrel. TM barrels can be modified like this very easily... Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I modified a Madbull M733 Aluminum Outer Barrel to the Diplomat length for my Custom M4. Wasn't hard to do. But what I like about the Prime one is that it's aesthetically more accurate with the proper barrel cuts and widths and markings... what I probably won't like about it is the price. Prime's never cheap. Edit: Can anyone tell from the description if the threading is 14mm +/-? Link to post Share on other sites
Angry Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I'm after a 7.5" barrel for a project, but I doubt I'm going to be willing to pay Prime prices for one. Link to post Share on other sites
GBB Nut Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 14mm + threading (clockwise). And it'll set you back about USD 200 for this beauty. More if you're after the steel version. Link to post Share on other sites

Dude, go with a Madbull M733 outer barrel. The aluminum outer barrel pulls out of the barrel base so you just cut off however much you want the barrel to be shorter and slide the barrel back into the base. Easy as pie! 14mm + threading (clockwise). And it'll set you back about USD 200 for this beauty. More if you're after the steel version. I really don't get that. The vast majority of airsoft aftermarket manufacturers make their thread's 14mm CCW. Only G&P seems adamant about sticking to a CW threading. Selling barrels with CW threading means that the majority of buyers will have to buy dedicated flashhiders just for that setup. Link to post Share on other sites
GBB Nut Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 uscmCorps - I agree 100%. They (G&P, PRIME, WA) should really switch over to counterclockwise threading instead of insisting on going against the grain. If they designed their products to be compatible with more aftermarket parts there'd be a much higher chance that we'll buy those products. Of course PRIME found out the hard way when they released their receiver sets and not more than a month later had to drop the retail price nearly 50%. Despite this obvious sign of malcontent by the consumer base it doesn't seem like they learned their lesson yet. Link to post Share on other sites

-=OGGY=- Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 whoa did anyone else notice the post about a vis-1 upper on that linked page? i cant read what is says but WA, and SYSTEMA appear in the description. Maybe Prime is also developing a vis (or everyone may already have heard about this) Link to post Share on other sites
GBB Nut Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yes, there is already discussion on this particular item in other threads. Link to post Share on other sites
