6.01 in an AEG


Recommended Posts

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.

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

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. :huh:

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.

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...

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.

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.

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!

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.

Your probably right since when people usually swap out barrels they also change the rubber.

Have to agree, the whole concept of resin bb's 'bedding in' a metal barrel is a bit of a no brainer.
