I was wondering if there are any members here that have fitted a .22 CZ barrel blank to their rifle of already have them installed from stock (like kalibrgun cricket)? I'm talking about the original sized CZ barrels, which are 15mm OD and 520 mm long. I'm planning on buying one so I like to gather some information about them.
Do they have a loose/tight fit regarding pellets? Are they choked tight? And is it smoothly chocked (so over a rather long distance) or only chocked in the last couple of centimeters/inch? Anyone measured the twist rate? Does the barrel prefer high regulator pressures or somewhat lower pressures?
And any experience regarding the pellets to use? I assume it will be JSB Exact 5.52 or the heavy's in 5.52 but maybe someone found another pellet that worked better for him/her?
I know it's not just a case of copying settings and achieving the same results because it's slightly different for each gun. The above will all be tested when I have the barrel but some info might give me a decent starting point to work from.
The barrel will be used as a replacement for my current 100 meter target shooting setup.
Thanks in advance
