I am mostly just playing around with replica style bb guns right now but was looking to start doing some tinkering with them. I am wondering if you might be able to help me find some tubing to make longer barrels for a couple of my guns. They are smooth bore/thin-walled stuff used in inexpensive Crosman and Umarex pistols...think it is about 6.5mm OD or so. I have looked into automotive brakeline tubing but the bb fit seemed less than ideal (.180 versus .177) Sooo, with all that said, anybody have any ideas? Thanks for any help!   Posted: Mon Dec 19, 2011 8:30 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA This might be tight, but could possibly be reamed a few thou Try 4.5 mm metric ID? http://www.mcmaster.com/#stainless-steel-tubing/=ffqyqy They take credit cards.   Posted: Mon Dec 19, 2011 8:38 pm EPM New Member Joined: 19 Dec 2011 Posts: 3 Hmm...looks promising!

I have some stainless tubing I bought years ago when re-doing cars was my "thing" and it was such a pain in the a$$ to bend properly (intended to use it as fuel line) I threw it in a corner and forgot about it- until now. Don't remember what the ID was at this point- but I hadn't ever thought of a smooth/bigbore airgun to use it, until now... _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.
