Question regarding machining of an Air Pistol Barrel

[Vic Thompson]

thanks for he replies to date everyone. Looks like a new Barrel could be on the cards. A machined up LP10 Barrel would do the job (maybe) as it's ported for the gas transfer, but buying one of those wouldn't be cheap anyway. I've got an LP2 Barrel that I could use for starters but it's too short and whilst I could machine a sleeve for the end, I really want rifled barrel all of the way so that I can maintain the MV otherwise velocity or shot count would be compromised. Regarding the Transfer Port burrs caused by Machining through the Transfer port could possibly be eliminated by a Bore Skim as the first part of the P44 Barrel appears to be smooth and above nominal calibre size.

I know of a ported LP50 full length barrel, It was offered to me for my LP5 but I prefered the original LP5 barrel, It's mint having only been fitted for a short while before being swapped for a compact barrel and shroud, Can find out a price Thursday for you Vic, It's definately still available as is still in my Gun cabinet although it won't be me selling it. You'd be more than welcome to collect or can meet at Kempton,
