Barrel Sizes Outer Diameter & Length

[Demonic69]

What do you guys think the average complete length (inc threads) and outer diameter of an everyday barrel would be? I know it varies massively, just after a rough guesstimate.
Also looking for thin plastic tubes with a similar outer diameter if anyone knows who sells them.

Cheers

Try some of teh packaging places online...would be around 25mm tube diameter...Ultralights come in them, so DYE must get them from somewhere.

Making a barrel are we?

Most barrel are around .7 inches ID, at teh front section...possibly about a 16th of an inch wall diameter..(at the muzzle) so thats whatever .7 of an inch is plus 1/8th of an inch.

Cheers Skeet me old.
Not making a barrel no, but hopefully my project will fit in a barrel-like tube to make it easier to carry in your kit bag
Hopefully found a place that does the tubes, but I'm sure Planet and a few others use them for macroline and hose kits...
C'mon you guys (Planet, LIPS Etc) share with me Not trying to steal your business
