my_plague_666 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 im expecting them to be quite good, but how are these barrels quality wise? good or bad? oh, and out of interest what length barrels do AKs use? Link to post Share on other sites
lordyeray Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 im expecting them to be quite good, but how are these barrels quality wise? good or bad? oh, and out of interest what length barrels do AKs use? i think somebody posted an in-depth review of various tightbores, including the Element, and the conclusion was that they're pretty good, close to Systema's. A typical AK inner barrel is 455mm long. Link to post Share on other sites
wally squad Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 If anyone has had a look at one, I'd like to know too. cheers d Link to post Share on other sites
Silent_Assassin Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I've got 2 from RSOV, 1 for my SL9 which I'll need to cut down and 1 for my MP5. Externally the're fine, with no visable defects. I'm going to be writing a full review this weekend on all of the products I bought recently so I'll post a link when I've finished.

Angry Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Is 6.04 actually classed as a tightbore? If they are what is the standard diameter? Link to post Share on other sites
AKRay Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Is 6.04 actually classed as a tightbore? If they are what is the standard diameter? Yes, 6.04s are tightbores. I'm fairly certain that the standard barrels are 6.08mm in diameter (measured one of my TM barrels). Link to post Share on other sites
Silent_Assassin Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yep, AKRay is right, nearly all standard barrels are 6.08 unless pre upgraded by the manufacturer. Link to post Share on other sites
Angry Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Ah right. I never pay much attention as I always put a Prometheus or Madbull in my new guns straight away. Link to post Share on other sites
birchm Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Ah right. I never pay much attention as I always put a Prometheus or Madbull in my new guns straight away. Speaking of tightbores I'd be curious to see what the standard diameter is for different manufacturers, since IIRC at least some G&G aegs come with 6.04 barrels stock.

Silent_Assassin Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 My JG G36c came with a 6.04 barrel as stock. One of the many reasons I bought it. From what I've seen, tight bores have only really been installed on special edition airsoft guns due to them costing more than the standard items. But the general dimensions are 6.08 or thereabouts.
