Carbon Fibre Custom Tightbore

[Huron]

Teflon coat on the inside might do well for you. Not sure quite how resistant it'd be but I'd think less friction down the barrel might work well with the way an airsoft gun operates.

maybe depleted uranium

... Or y'know..

You could upgrade the parts that will make much more of a difference than a tightbore. (I have owned, upgraded and sold a RS SVD)

Upgrade the hop-up rubber, get a SCS, polish the gearbox, throw a stronger motor and an intellgent MOSFET in there.

Done.

the RS SVD doesn't need a barrel upgrade. In fact, You wont even notice a difference.

thank you. i very much appreciate any info provided by an ex/owner of this particular gun. i will definitely be reviewing my list of potential upgrades.

[megabeers]

do you have any brand specific recommendations? how about a 170 spring?

ARS hop-up rubber, Shredder's Concave Spacer

Mill the top part of the barrel down so you're able to fit an 11.1 stick LIPO in there,

wire in a trigger master, polish the gearbox, check AOE, break in the gears and shimming.

Other than that... these things are nearly perfect.

170 spring is overkill. At most I'd go with a M135. Field limit for sniper rifles in ontario require certification... I'm not sure about their semi auto sniper rules either.

i dont think i intend to be a field player, more of an admirer/collector of weapons and id just like to see it maxed out

apparently, i have much reasearch to do on airsoft mechanics. im new to this but i'm no fool mechanically. if i can get my hands and eyes on it, i WILL make the modifications with loving care and precision

money is no object if it will make this the ultimate gun.

Seeing you are a cnc machinist, why don't you try delrin within a stainless steel sheath? You need a 4 axis cnc (or 5)

[megabeers]

that would more of a specialized lathe application...mills are not ideal for making long skinny tubes

[krap101]

Hmm, I'd imagine making delrin molds wouldn't be thaaatt hard :P, using the steel rod idea from earlier.

[megabeers]

i never disrespected anyones opinion, i just didnt like the implication that i'm some kind of fool

i really do appreciate the feedback though

[Gunny_McSmith]

Dont want to post useless comments, but this is airsoft.... not Real steel... our ammo are too light and small to be super accurate... (dont want to go further into physics)
Also... spherical projectile.... not accurate... lol

BTW: the Real steel Dragunov isnt as accurate as the video games /movies show, it's a cheaply made sniper rifle...lol

PS: You might want to edit and add stuff to your previous posts, instead of multi-posting...

Farthest shot I've ever heard of is ~140 yards by a 650 fps gas m200 (intervention for you cod'ers :P )

I'm not an engineer yet, but for what I've learned so far I don't believe you'll be able to achieve a good enough surface finish with carbon fiber, let alone outperform current offerings.

[Danke]

You'd run into a couple problems with CF. First will be packaging vs. strength.

Different materials have different properties and strengths. While you could wrap up some cloth around a long mandrel and produce a tube that looked like a barrel you would have a problem

You would have to duplicate the OD of the metal barrel so it would slip inside the cosmetic outer barrel. As a result you'd have a soda straw strong tube there. Same goes for glass, ceramic and the rest of the exotic choices.

After that price will kick in, the CF has to be laid up by hand.

Then you'll have the seam since CF is a cloth that's wrapped up and impregnated with resin. That means a ridge inside the barrel. Now maybe you can do something fun with that and give it a twist like a TK barrel but once again you spending more time by hand dealing with this.

CF is a great material when you do something like aircraft or a car's frame or body where the outside is smooth but the inside can be left rough and unfinished. For an airsoft barrel what counts is the inside. The opposite of the normal use of the material. That's not saying it would be fully impossible to do, just the expense of doing it would invalidate the exercise.
