The link won't work for me?

The Link was from ASDA.

Blimey, I almost lost the will to live during that.

"And the rifling goes from the beginning to the end"...

Well, no shit.

Boring Yank twat.

Erh, uum, erm, urm, err, after all that he eventualy gets round to saying his edgun loses it's accuracy after 150 shots?? Then there's something wrong with it.

I don't think I'll be going out and buying a smooth twist barrel for any of my guns.

It's the other way around? The smooth twist doesn't lose accuracy as the lead doesn't build up in the barrel like the Lother does. Watch and listen at the end again, you got confussed.

I will be sticking with my walther barrel on the dommie and GC2 and the hammer forged barley twist on the steyr see it improving on any of them

Confused about the model of gun perhaps.
But if his rifled lothar walther barrel gets fouled after 150 shots with airgun pellets at airgun velocity, then there is something wrong with it.
A rimfire doesn't foul with far more shots than that, at greater velocities along with burnt powder residue, also there are many centrefire rifles that don't get cleaned either, at even greater velocities still.

I still won't be dashing out for a smooth twist barrel.

I don't understand your logic. You've made a comment upon the Lothar Walther and how it apparently loses accuracy after 150 shots - ok. However, you have implied you wont be buying a smooth twist barrel, because the Lothar Walther ( with standard rifling) is apparently crap.

There's a Lothar Walther on the Edgun, and a smooth twist on the FX.

I may have got it wrong...

Three EV2's that i know of have to be cleaned after 100-150 with Walther Barrels,it's not that uncommon.

i agree with Hares Ear,

the amount of lead build up shouldnt be as much as hes getting, however im sure ive heard hes shooting at the high end of fac (roughly 40 ftlb)

in contrast ive heard amazing things about the ev2 barrel (formerly known as the czech s200 barrel) infact im getting one soon to replace the straw type barrel on my s410, if it needs cleaning after every 150 shots then so be it, its probably a good thing as looking after your rifle is a necessity anyways.

anyone have experience with both barrels?

Well blow me down I expect that I had better ditch all my rifle barrels and buy a smooth bore with a bit of choke in the end.

Kids with airguns, gullible, and fools easily parted with their brass springs to mind.

People are just trying to compare two different makes of barrel - who's gullible?

If you have any evidence that the smoothtwist barrel is inferior in some way to the Walther I'd be very interested in seeing it.

christ almighty i'm sure i dont clean my .270 in 150 rounds .stop arguing ladies about pop gun barrels.....kiddin kinda but cmon

"christ almighty i'm sure i dont clean my .270 in 150 rounds .stop arguing ladies about pop gun barrels.....kiddin kinda but cmon "......oh my! i thought this attitude was long dead...if you read a few of the threads on here you will understand...education is all.Hate ignorance.

If they are such a good do, get sown in then and buy one. I will be interested to see the improvement in accuracy at 25-30 yards, the improvement in velocity consistency over a ten shot string etc. etc. etc.
I don't think I will be bothering.

Just another thing. Whenever I have been interested enough to have a look at a fired airgun pellet I haven't stood over a bucket. I've shot into a trough of water, or the village beck at around twenty yards at an angle. Amazingly enough you can retrieve the pellets with no deformation at all. But I find it a lot easier to slug the bore.

Having made and sold tens of thousands of air rifles fitted with the German made barrels I know how many are rejected as substandard, FX have also suffered this same problem with the same manufacturer until they are forced to make there own useing my SmoothTwist system.
They are now getting the consistent accuracy they require in production, far better than they have ever had before.
Pray tell me what you are basing your comments on, a few rifles bought and sold maybe, thought so

What has a "brass spring" got to do with anything anyway?

[stillair1]

Those recovered .22lr were recovered by a secret process, no water bucket involved.
