Dye Ultralite

[govnamac]

I have a .686 Ultralite barrel back. Can someone explain to me why I can't find that size on the Dye website or on pbgear.com?

Also, what is the standard ultralite bore size?

as i recall .689 is standard, but there are the backs that are hard to find (possibly that one i can't remember the three) and theres the three that they still make

Im pretty sure standard is .688 for Dye. And they go up and down .004
Never heard of a .686 bore size for Dye...

Are you sure you have .686?

It is engraved .686 in the base of the barrel

The non standard sized ones do. How would you know the size otherwise?

I'll buy the 686 if you don't want it.

Dye never marks the standard bore size which is .688 if they are any other size then that size is engraved on the back...this applies to all of the barrels produced other than one off specials and the old one piece stainless barrels. Don't assume you have a special if there isn't anything on the barrel since this service was discontinued at around the same time as the one piece barrels were stopped in production.

he speaks the truth.
no markings= standard .688
all others marked

[govnamac]

I figured the unmarked one was the standard size. Just couldn't remember what the size was.

My friend has a .686 as well. Rock on.

Ya, dye bores do up and down .002 actually. .686 bores are hard to come by though actually. The standard non standard 688 bore are the 692, and 684, you can find bores in 684, 686, 688, 690, 692, 694, I believe maybe also 696?
