    cocker barrels

    ok, im making a barrel adapter for my classic mag so i can use a cocker or a5 barrel on it (havent decided which one yet, leaning towards cocker) please dont ask for me to make you one because i dont even know if this will work right. (i may start making them for a price if i can perfect this)

    so here is my qestion i only have the right taps to do a cocker or a5 thread but i currently have neither type of barrel. i would rather use cocker threads if possible.
    so here is my question. can someone measure thier cocker barrel and tell me how long the threaded part is like from the end to the oring on the front not just where the threads are

    i hope someone was able to understand that

    You can see on Doc's barrel ID guide the length for the most part.



    If I had something more accurate than a ruler, I'd get you some numbers.

      just so you know, a cocker barrel tap set is VERY expensive. The threads are super uncommon, and only certain companies make them. So unless you're making this on a lathe, then I'd suggect pricing out some of these taps and seeing if it's worth it.

          go cocker, way more barells available for them. Most guns are cocker threaded, DMs, PMs, mags (not twist lock), cockers, lots o stuff.

            Would you interesed in selling on off? I've checked ebay and everything else, and I've only found new sets for around $80..

              Make it in whatever threading turns your crank. Doc made some very good ones and I am betting that he didn't sell you know what loads of em. Why would you even want the threaded barrels if you have access to the bayonet types. You ever tried to clean out a cocker barrel under fire?

                Would it not be easier to by a ULE body which already has cocker threads?

                      Get a level 10. you wont break balls, and have no use for taking the barrel off

                        Like someone said Doc made a few Cocker barrel adapters, I've got one. Made out of SS, very good tolerance. Best thing I ever purchased. I would recommend you get in touch with him.

                            I will send you a cocker barrel.

                            You can measure it to your hearts content.

                            When you have made and tested your barrel adapter and found it to work.

                            You can make a second one and send it to me

                              No need, I live not to far from this little wanker. If he wants to see a cocker barrel, I have a few that he can look over without paying shipping charges....
