Have a word with Matt at Sureshot about the barrel I asked him to get for me a couple of weeks ago.
Hammer forged, 16mm OD, 520mm long - made in CZechoslovakia
I am on the look out for a barrel for a project I am in the middle of , it needs to be 177 and the same length as a full length TX, diameter isnt important as I can alter it.
I spotted bsa barrels on the Knibbs web site at a good price , are they any good ? also seen the hw barrels for sale and of course the lothar walther blanks , and as its for a TX obviously a standard one , I would like to make an improvement over standard if possible but only want to buy one . So any Ideas?

I was go with a cz barrel myself, as for being made in czechoslovakia must be nearly 100 year old barrel then

Thought knibbs stopped doing the "bsa " barrels .
Are they available again ?
There was some discussion about them
You can get a cz from them for a aa s200 490 ish long 15ish dia. Slightly harder material than others I've machined .
The choked hw ones look interesting from silco.
Haven't tried those . Only the unchoked from a while ago .
Not had a rubbish lw yet from chambers . Gotta get choked though
It's being machined to fit on the 9015, but I've been a bit slow getting it done because the standard barrel is shooting so well. In fact it's the most accurate airgun I've ever owned. Bit of a dilemma really, but fortunately it's so easy to swap out a barrel on the anni, once it's machined up to fit I can give it a test.
Just drop Matt at Sureshot a line if you want to test one.
what sort of dimensions do you think you need nick ?
is it a tx based project ?
theres a member on here with a (probably ) pro sport barrel available
it's on a "can you identify this " thread ...i thought tx , std length ,mk 3....turns out most likely... not mk3 , not std length and not even tx ....
from what brian says , it sounds like a std 9015 barrel might not be the worst choice in the world
we need to get over to germany and buy up all the basket case target rifles . should be some quality barrels there
Its a TX based project rifle , I don't want to give too much away as I haven't got it finished yet , I will post about it once I have it finished. I contacted the chap about the mystery barrel and its a short one , I need full length at least , I would like opinions on barrel length as I haven't got much experience in that department, can you go too long ? is there an optimal length for a springer , I will probably stick to full tx length so I can use it in other actions though.
So been looking at the s200 barrel on Knibbs web site , is it definitely the CZ barrel ?
It's been a while since I had any s200 barrels ,
But pretty sure there was some labelling to indicate cz origin.
Done a few for tx now although the 15 mm dia gives less of a shoulder than the 16 would,
Concentricity has been pretty good too on most .
They seem tightish in the bore so might need a polish.
As a finished s200 barrel it would need post to rod or collect .
I asked them To chop a 1/2" off the breech so it didn't fit s200 any more
Got no evidence whatsoever and again can't remember why but had strong ideas that these go onto some isp guns
