I'm the typical can't leave good enough alone type of person. My DreamTac-compact shoots fantastic so I decided to “upgrade” it. I simply love adding carbon sleeve/reinforcement to all my FX barrels so why not my 300mm 177 barrel? Can it benefit from it? Probably not. Can anyone even see it? Definitely not! So With justifications all sorted out I order a 600mm 177 liner sleeve from ernest, took a while but finally got it today.
The 300mm compact barrel liners are held on by on nut on the end and then suspended in the short shroud by 1 spacer. The goal is to add as much carbon sleeve as possible and leave just enough room for the spacer at the very end. The dremel made quick work of the carbon tube.
Not going to show the finished product because it doesn’t look any different with the shroud on.
So how is the “upgrade” one might ask, does it make any difference? Well, it’s hard to say. It still shoots 1 hole at 20 yards and just about one hole at 30 yards in the wind but I’m the reason for that. Maybe if I try slugs in these then the carbon sleeve might make a difference with some performance improvement? I might try that one day at the range for giggles.
