Hammerli Magnum 850 Barrel diameter?

[Bobsyruncle]

Hi Folks. I'm considering getting the Hammerli Magnum 850 but would like to adapt my Hugget to it. I know DonnyFL makes slip over adapters but I'm not sure of the outside diameter of the Hammerli barrel and would like to know before I buy. 
The barrel comes off so I guess I could have it threaded to 1/2 x 20 in a pinch but the slip on seems easier than shipping the barrel off. Probably cheaper as well. 

The slip on adapters seem to be in even Millimeter sizes. Anyone got a 850 and could measure it at the muzzle? It looks to be a straight barrel and not tapered. 

I've tried Pyramid and Hammerli with this questions and no response. 

Thanks in advance.

Unless they've changed since the first ones it should be 15mm. The factory unit for those can be just fine with little effort.

Did the same thing , pretty sure it's 15mm but through a tape across the muzzle to make certain. Donny has the adapter and it works perfectly.

there is a cheaper way but you have to do some work and you can find 15mm adapters on Ebay for 25 bucks

and with an adapter at PA and there globe sight you could also use a diopter rear sight

and in that adapter at PA you can buy a Marauder pistol adapter on Ebay and take the threads off and make it 15mm and have a place to screw on a LDC after epoxy it in place



but I transgress of course as stated i5mm

Thanks. Looking for a CO2 gun with home on the end for the Huggett. I read nothing but good about the 850 accepting its power limitations.

the 850 power isn't bad, it is in the middle but with the LW barrel it can shoot

so I'm a little behind on the Huggett, how does it mount

you add a different hammer spring and get about 50 FPS

Umarex make a compensator for them and when I got my first 850 it came with one and it had black electrical tape wrap around it but it was mouse fart quiet

so I did one with stainless tubing and one in aluminum tubing as covers and if you forget how quiet they are, when you fire the gun after months of not using it, you reach in to replace the co2 because you think it is empty only to have gas come out QUIET the cheapest 850 fix if you are handy

I bought a Huggett Snipe or Standard for my FX Streamline. I'm selling the FX and I'll transfer the Huggett to the new Hammerli. I guess I'm more into internal combustion guns rather than compressed air guns. Rather than a PCP bottle, for me, and rat patrol, a co2 gun is more practical. All I need is the DonnyFL and the Hammerli or maybe send off for my friend to rethread. He built an entire Sharps rifle from blueprints so I guess he can handle a half inch of thread. 

Thanks for your responses.

I love my Hammerli AirMagnum 850. I bought mine 9 years ago and have taken it from stock, to bulk C02 (9 oz. PB tank), to HPA - all thanks to a talented tuner in Texas. But yes, just like the others are saying, the barrel diameter is 15mm.
