6.01id Showdown, The tighest of tight bore

EdGI Custom 6.01mm Bull Barrel

Build Material: Brass.

Length: 435mm.

Thickness: Bull barrel thickness.

Break-in Period? No.

Accuracy at 150 feet: Approximately 1.5" on average, .75" on best grouping.

Tolerances: Very high quality. Rank 1 out of 5. +/1 .0012

Crowning? Yes, very good quality job.

Affordability: Low. Average cost is 40+52 shipping (USD), so this barrel is more expensive than most of the other alternatives, excepting the PDI.

Brief Synopsis: The EdGI barrel is designed specifically for the JG BAR-10, although it will fit in the VSR-10 as well. Cost runs around 35-40, and shipping is 52 via FedEX from the Philippines. EdGI barrels are unique because they are bull barrels; that is, they are thicker than any other aftermarket barrel on the market. They also include a number of features. EdGI barrels are among the best barrels you can buy for the VSR, in part because they're thicker, and hence suffer less from vibrations. EdGI also offers ported barrels, which are even more accurate. The crowning on the barrel is very nice, and the interior is well-polished, and does not require a break-in period.

DBCustom 6.01mm Barrel

Build Material: Brass.

Length: 430mm.

Thickness: Slightly more than standard thickness.

Break-in Period? Yes (1000 rounds)

Accuracy at 150 feet: Approximately 2.7" on average, 1.3" on best grouping.

Tolerances: Very high quality. Rank 2 out of 5. +/- 0.0015

Crowning? No, it's straight cut.

Affordability: Medium. Average cost is 60 USD shipped, so this barrel is the most affordable high-quality 6.01mm barrel.

Brief Synopsis: The DBCustom barrels are unique in that they are universally cut, and can fit most AEG's, the VSR and it's full clones, the AGM MP001, and the UTG M324/DE M50. They are very good quality, and are the most affordable of the 6.01mm barrels. The owners are very knowledgeable and friendly, and they have among the very best customer service of any company that I have ever dealt with. The one fault I find with their barrels is that they aren't polished, and have minor imperfections in the barrel that throw off accuracy until they've been broken in. Accuracy is still superb, and these are probably the best option for an airsofter who has a budget, but wants the best possible performance for the money. In terms of sheer value per dollar, it's hard to beat a DBC barrel, and the universal cut makes them very nice. The VSR barrel will NOT fit the Tanaka M700/M40/M24, sadly, so I'll be buying another from them soon.

PDI 6.01mm Barrel

Build Material: Steel.

Length: 555mm.

Thickness: Slightly more than standard thickness.

Break-in Period? No.

Accuracy at 150 feet: Approximately 1.6" on average, 1.1" on best grouping.

Tolerances: Highest quality, laser cut steel. Rank 1 out of 5.

Crowning? Yes.

Affordability: Very low. Average cost is 155 USD shipped, so this barrel is the most expensive tightbore barrel.

Brief Synopsis: PDI barrels are the most expensive barrels, and are very high quality. They are laser-cut cold tempered steel, with the best tolerances of any barrel, but do not have any other special features like DBC or EdGI barrels. If you have the money, and you want the absolute best quality barrel that will not scratch easily, and will preserve its groupings, go PDI. They're quite expensive, but very reliable.

Sorry for the typo, magkatabi kaso sa keyboard yung I at U.

Reaper, kamusta aeg mo, hope ok na.

Yes sir's, very much. Due to it's precision and mirror like finish. 6.00mm id for single shot and shorter barrels is now being marketed.

How it is? be informed that most of the bb's were only 5.98 (ics) and 5.96mm (quality) in diameter.
The smoothness of the bore still allow the bb to roll and backspin with less friction, thus, it maximized your AEG spring true power.

With the size of the BB above, a 6.04mm Bore Id of a barrel makes it a semi tight barrel.

Would like to thank's Sir JefBug on posting the review........

"the term ported relates to holes that are precision-drilled into the forward part of the barrel (and slide on pistols). These holes are designed to divert a portion of the gases expelled during firing in the direction that reduces the tendency of the firearm to flip upwards. The concept applies Newton's third law: the exhaust directed upward causes a reciprocal force downward."

"Porting is most commonly used on shotguns, where recoil is most significant and makes rapid firing difficult. Even single shots of magnum-strength loads are uncomfortable for all but the most-seasoned shooters. Porting has obvious advantages for faster follow-up shots, especially for 3-round burst operation. However, in most instances porting does nothing to enhance the accuracy of follow-up shots."

For real guns it is used to counter the effects of recoil, but in an AEG setup I have yet to verify its uses.

For airsoft, it minimized the air that fallows the bb's which disturb its flight. It also acts like a muzzle brake.
