St!ffi Barrel Switch Kit

[Morph]

Peeps, has anyone used one of these? I am asking because im not too sure of the effectiveness of a 1 inch ( no pun intended )back section ...

Cheers!

get the proper stiffi barrels.

the switch ones have a 1 inch bore as you say which is pretty pointless, the proper 1 piece stiffis have like 4-5 inches of bore so more control there, its worth the money!

Well if nothing else they can be used to stop paint rolling out of closed bolt guns. Also, according to Tom Kaye, shorter effective legnth will reduce velocity but improove consistency somewhat because excess gas will vent. This is at the cost of efficiency, though.

"So as far as our guns are concerned, the best efficiency would be had with an 8-10" effective length barrel. Since two piece ported barrels with an effective length of about 5-6" are the rage right now you hear a lot of complaints about gas efficiency. Under some circumstances there is a good reason to use a short effective length barrel. Short barrels cut off the acceleration abruptly by venting and this has the effect of tightening up the shot to shot velocity variation. If you need this at the expense of efficiency then go ahead. Tighter velocity control usually translates into some improvement in accuracy due to better consistency."

1 inch seems a bit too low, though.
