Seems to me a long time ago I saw a barrel wrap which was like a shrink tube Slide it onto the barrel apply heat and it would shrink to fit the barrel I have been searching for this and I am unable to find any My Crosman Nitro barrel is easily scratched and I would like to cover it Does anybody know of a place selling this?   Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2010 2:28 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Why not just use shrink-tube?   Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2010 2:29 pm donec Senior Member Joined: 19 Dec 2009 Posts: 836 Location: central Texas Pflugerville area Why not just use shrink wrap. I remember a post that had pics where the person used shrink wrap and it even showed the end of the shrink wrap sticking off the end being shrunk more than the diameter of the barrel.   Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2010 2:32 pm bummy Member Joined: 29 Aug 2009 Posts: 18 Location: Tn. What I saw before was camo shrink wrap I was hoping to find a digital pattern close to the stock!   Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2010 3:37 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia Maybe a camo wrap? It's got a light adhesive that bonds to the tape itself. Wrap it up with that for protection. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

You have to heat it so it will stretch - I use a pan of boiling water. (I keep the ends out of the water so none gets trapped inside.) Grease the barrel (KY "personal lubricant" works great, but a light synthetic/silicone grease will work too). Then work really hard to slide it on the barrel. Not camouflage, but black at least matches the rest of the gun. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2010 6:30 pm ausher Member Joined: 28 Feb 2010 Posts: 96 Location: SWMO U.S.A.

I've got the vinyl tubing on the G1, on the Slavia 631, and on the Mendoza RM577. I used a PTFE grease on one, a stick silicone grease on another, and then the KY. KY was the best. A little goes a long way, so you'll probably have some left over for other projects. Macarri doesn't carry it. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Fri Apr 23, 2010 5:24 pm ausher Member Joined: 28 Feb 2010 Posts: 96 Location: SWMO U.S.A.
