Bore Sizes

[hawky]

Just wondering if any one can shed some light onto wot bore size will be best when buying a new barrel, really not too sure any info will help thanks

Bore size is based around the size of the paint, sure .693 is standard, yet it can vary, thats why its a great idea to buy something like a freak, and by a boremaster kit, that way you can easily match your paint to a bore, which helps with accuracy

My 2p worth Hope it shed some light

yea man thanks, did know little about matching the paint with the right bore but as i have just started didn't really want to shell out on a whole kit as i see them for £40 second hand lol so was just after the best bore size is in general

If your just getting one bore size go big

Can't go wrong with .693. It's better to overbore than get too small a bore and smash paint in your barrel and have to fluffy that shizz out mid-game.

I Totally agree with Devrij, overboring is your best bet
obviously dot'n overbore to a size like a tennisball cannon though

BTW, i'v played a game with just a freak back on my shocker before, only need those magic 6" of a barrel back for the paint to fly straight... sounds bloody loud though haha

I have a selection of kits & sizes to pick from, and always check barrel to paint fit before a game. A 689-693" suits most of the paint I shoot, and a bigger bore helps prevent breaks at the expense of a little gas efficiency.

Current favourite combo is Un1tech or Dye ultralite.
