Need info, does anyone know if the .25 barrel is a poly or a grooved barrel? This is 2022 GCU2 gun.
Thanks

Daystate Barrel in RedWolf .25

Daystate has some odd barrels that look like polly but have 4 or 5 lands and groves. Do know why but was confirmed by an art barrel tester

Hmmm. the plot thickens.
Please push a pellet through, or shoot one into water and post a picture. I'd love to learn what may be out there.

I will, I pushed 2 thru earlier today and it’s definitely a 5 groove barrel.? (The paperwork from Daystate is dated 8-24-22 .25 hp 927fps on high)

Thank you. I'll have to take a look at mine now.
You said it is producing 927fps on high. Which pellet/weight?

34gr. JSB’s, it’s the only thing shot thru it so far.
The pictures are from JSB 25gr. I pushed thru because the skirts are thinner
I will bore scope it soon when I have time.

Sorry, that was a screenshot from a screenshot!, but it’s a grooved barrel and you will notice that the lands have a radius to the top side of them? When I look at the pellets really closely under good light it appears the indentation confirms this.

The first barrel on my Alpha Wolf HP .22 was a 5 groove polygon barrel 30:1 with the land having a slight flat-ish top. This barrel had a problem from new; leaking air past the breech seal.
The replacement barrel is also 30:1 but now has a 6 groove polygon with a far more distinct flat-ish top to the lands.
So, my take from this, is that it's pot luck what barrel profile you get from Daystate.

I guess when I look at the barrel from the borescope (cheap borescope!) it doesn’t look like any polygonal barrel I’m familiar with, but I know there is profiles I don’t know about, like so many in the C.F. World. 5R, Ratchet etc., etc.

With my Teslong, cheapie, borescope I've found that the profile is best seen with the probe slightly out of the muzzle. Viewing end-on.
