About 5.5 inches will do. Are there any sources that sell barrels alone? I know of the Crosman rifled pellet barrels, but that is not what I want.

They are smooth bore. Might also check the Crosman 760. _________________ Bob La Londe http://www.CNCMOLDS.com http://www.YumaBassMan.com   Posted: Mon Feb 29, 2016 4:16 pm dobiman Veteran Member Joined: 30 Mar 2010 Posts: 167 Location: Gil's Isle, USA Hey Bob, you read my mind.

I have a 1377 with a 300mm 1.77 barrel I shoot gamo lead BBs though... a un-rifed barrel would be better... pete   Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2016 2:19 am dobiman Veteran Member Joined: 30 Mar 2010 Posts: 167 Location: Gil's Isle, USA Surething Pete, here is the link. The barrel is rifled, but bbs roll easy through it like a smoothbore. This guy also has Crosman 760 barrels. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Daisy-Powerline-880-7880-177-Rifled-Barrel-Trigger-Part-BB-Pellet-Air-Rifle-881-/111354973387?hash=item19ed460ccb:g:3pIAAOxyUrZSwhKd   Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2016 9:45 am Bob La Londe Veteran Member Joined: 05 Nov 2014 Posts: 146 Location: Yuma, Az dobiman wrote: Surething Pete, here is the link.

I wonder if he is actually selling 881 barrels. Supposedly (per Daisy) the 880 is not rifled and the 881 is rifled. _________________ Bob La Londe http://www.CNCMOLDS.com http://www.YumaBassMan.com   Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2016 12:18 pm dobiman Veteran Member Joined: 30 Mar 2010 Posts: 167 Location: Gil's Isle, USA Here is the project I needed the Daisy 880 barrel for. It was to replace a bulged barrel in my Umarex Colt SAA bb pistol. In case you are wondering how the barrel got bulged, I think it was made from too thin tube. The new barrel is thicker walled and works better.   Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2016 12:24 pm Bob La Londe Veteran Member Joined: 05 Nov 2014 Posts: 146 Location: Yuma, Az dobiman wrote: Here is the project I needed the Daisy 880 barrel for.

How did you manage that? _________________ Bob La Londe http://www.CNCMOLDS.com http://www.YumaBassMan.com   Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2016 3:44 pm dobiman Veteran Member Joined: 30 Mar 2010 Posts: 167 Location: Gil's Isle, USA The original barrel is too thin walled in my opinion. I was practicing fast draw and fanning the revolver for a long shooting session. Fired about 400 bbs through the pistol. Then I noticed the pistol jamming and bbs were not coming out. Took the gun apart to find the barrel bulged like that. I wrote to Umarex about the problem, and they wanted me to send it in for examination. I figured, it was easy to make my own new barrel for the gun. I just had to find the barrel. The Daisy 880 barrel has a very slight rifling, almost not visible, and since bbs roll through it easy, it could pass for a smoothbore. looking for a smoothbore bb gun barrel     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Airgun Smithing You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
