tinker question on freak.

[aut911]

Would anybody happen to know the diameter of a freak insert?
Also, what is the threading on the fronts?

im guessing bore size has something to do with circumfrance so once u figure it out divide circumfrance by pi... mmm no im hungry

sounds like your planning on slipping the insert directly into the body and locking it down with a freak front.
i dont have calipers here so i cant get you an exact O.D. but 5 & 1/16" x 3/4" looks pretty close.

i have calipers but no freak insert..

ok thanks guys. Yeah, I was planning on making my own paintball barrel that is like the freak, the only difference i would guess is the fact that the inserts are gong to be 7-8" long and possibly rifled. I found aluminum tubing really cheap and I can bore out my own barrels because i have a lathe.

I think i might just ask Doc and see if he'll tell me the threading. the original plan was to just use inserts from a freak but I dont have that much cash on me to buy a whole set so Im gonna buy me some seamless tubing.

Thank god for workshops.

thanks again peoples.

Why rifled?

[aut911]

an experiment to see if rifling really does work with paintballs or not. Concidering the thickness of paint these days it might work but iim not just going to play guessing games. Im gonna find out for my self.
