    Is this pipe kit I just bought messed up, or all they all like this?

    Hey guys, need some info from anyone with evil pipe experience.

    I just bought a cocker pipe for a good price, and i got it and all seems well. here's the thing. When I screw any back into the front, and look down the back of the barrel (the direction the ball would travel), I see a very large and present gap. It's not the same as looking in the front of a freak or other stepped bore barrel and seeing a smaller tube at the back, there seems to be a gap between the bore section of the back and front. I have no idea how big it is but i'd guesstimate at 1/32" or so, but I know that's plenty to throw off a barrel.

    There doesn't seem to be any damage to the tip or back, and I couldn't imagine any normal damage doing that. I tried all the backs, with and without o-rings, and they all do the same thing.

    I tried to take pics but I couldn't really get them to come out.

    ANyhow, folkss, when looking down the barrel, from the back, of your assembled pipe barrels, is there a noticable gap between the front and backs, or no?

    Thanks a ton
    -Sam

    Yeah i think thats how they are made. Mine is like that. The tip is bored just a bit bigger then all the backs.

      That was the first thing I noticed when I first saw them at the shop, I mentioned it to the guy behind the counter, he called Evil tech support. Get this... that gap is there by design, Evil claims it helps reduce turbulance on the ball. It may, it may not, either way its a good shooting barrel.

        I own a pipe, and noticed what your talking about. Most of em are like it. I called PMI, and they said when they first noticed it they cut one open and found the issue to be an "optical illusion" and no gap was visable. Haven't really had a performance issue so...?

          It's not an optical illusion, just use a dental probe and you can feel the gap, it's very real.

                  The PowerLyte kit is the only way to go if you are the barrel "kit" type person. Personally I like one piece heavy barrels (AKA, BOA, Palmer, any thing brass).
