Wupjak Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Break in is mythical in my experience. If you're worried about 'breaking in' a tightbore, take a cleaning rod, a cleaning patch or swatch of cotton 1" square, your new barrel and a can of Brasso and polish the inside of the barrel.

DUSTER:recon Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 just go for it. its not like its permanent... besides, a lot of guys on my league use 'em on their ak's, m4's, etc... and they shoot great. no problems Link to post Share on other sites
tshrake521 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 6.01 is a bit much for a fully auto fire in my opinion, inless you like cleaning your barrel 2-3 times a practice. I don't see how the advantages of 6.01 over 6.03, it's not a drastic difference in an AEG. DMR and Sniper rifles on the other hand are good with 6.01 I've tried a 6.01 in my ca249 seeing how far I could hit someone, but eventually got tired of the cleaning I had to do. (I used excel/elites only) I am currently using a 6.03 Link to post Share on other sites
monkey530 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I guess would an example is needed. Like when you get new boots it is all stiff and stuff. Then after you wear it a while it conforms to your feet and to where it bends and etc. Same thing with the barrel. Hopefully I didn't mistake your comment to be a real question when it was a sarcastic remark. Well, that's opened my eyes. Link to post Share on other sites

(I used excel/elites only) I am currently using a 6.03 You probably didnt have to do that cleaning. I have had my dees 6.01 in my M16 and thousands of rounds through it, NEVER cleaned. It even got dirt in it once. Then it was sitting around collecting dust for several months. Now it is in my Tanaka M700 LTR which ive put every bb you can imagine through- from cheap .2s to digicon .36s to digicon graphite-coated .43s to G/G bio .25s, KSC .3s, etc. i have cleaned it a total of one time in all the time ive owned the barrel. Number of jams? 0 you need to keep in mind that the diameter of a bb is not 6mm. it is 5.95-5.98 so there is still plenty of wiggle room. Take it from someone whos had first hand experience. its darn accurate too. Link to post Share on other sites

monkey530 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I have a DBC enroute from AirsoftGI to see what the hubbub is all about. My results obviously will be skewed for this thread because I am moving up from a stock barrel. From what I hear, there has been mixed results when comparing 6.03 to a 6.01 and 6.04. Some people feel the transfer to a 6.01 is worth it, others don't. For me I feel that if you have a good 6.03 or 6.04 it is good enough for an AEG. Unless your moving from a 6.08 to a 6.01, I wouldn't get a 6.01. For BA of course 6.01 is a good option, since your less likely to jam due to you taking less shots. But 6.01 jams hasn't really been a problem unless you use really crappy or old deformed bb's from the ground... Link to post Share on other sites
RedRaptor Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Regarding DBCustoms barrels - does anyone know if they're going to release SCAR-length inner barrels for those of us who bought a CA/VFC/STAR/G&G SCAR? I realize I could probably use an M4-length without any big problems, but it's always nice to have the right parts for the job instead of just a filler. Link to post Share on other sites
sigmaboy Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 If you contact Dee (im guessing thats what his name is ) they will make you a custom barrel with the exact length you requested. but i dont think they can changed the bore of the barrel though, i think they only do 6.01.

There stuff is custom hence the name, so I don't think they would mind cutting you one to your specific need, deburring it and etc. It would probably cost around the same for a DBC M4 barrel from their website.

greg Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I have a pdi 303x6.01 in a ca g36c. The gun is upgraded, currently 328fps x 1500rpm. I tend to use it as a cqb full auto hoze. It sees about 6000 blaster .2's per outing, all full auto, mainly quick bursts, with the occasional sustained fire. I don't see blasters as high quality, more cheap & reliable cannon fodder. Must have used it over ten times since the 6.01 went in, so over 60,000 full auto bb's & no jams. Knowing the high speed nature of this gun & the use it gets, I was warned that 'the jam' was inevitable. Fingers crossed! Greg. Link to post Share on other sites
Swerve Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 From what I know of Blaster's, you are unlikely to get jams as they have no real history of seams/mis-moulds etc. I have heard that Blaster bb's tend to err towards 5.95 (and below) rather than 5.98 (or above), if you get what I mean.

Hopefully I didn't mistake your comment to be a real question when it was a sarcastic remark. Boots are leather, and are constantly formed by the foot until it fits. PDI barrels are cold-hammered stainless steel like actual firearm barrels, and the plastic BB barely makes any contact with it. You could fire millions and billions of BBs through a barrel and it wouldn't be changed probably even on a molecular level. If anything, the hop-up rubber may have a "break-in" period. For barrels, there is none. -Sale Link to post Share on other sites
