Did I see Daystate experimenting with barrel 'sleeves"?
Sure would like to see AA get away from all that heavy steel

I hope not. That heavy steel is good stuff. Sleeves with liners are, IMO, appropriate only for damascus twist barrels in shotguns. I've owned one FX rifle with a liner system, and it supported my opinion. Air rifle barrel attachment systems are, in most cases only marginally stable, and compromising it further with a sleeve/liner system is asking for problems. I'm waiting for some maker to build an air rifle with a proper, threaded shank that screws into a robust receiver. Then you would have a rifle with no more POI changes, nor the need to handle it like a fragile piece of glass. But, that's just the opinion of an old fart who knows no better.

I agree, however Im working on a .30 liner with a double carbon shroud, fully threaded in the reciever with a tension fastener on the muzzle instead of compression. We’ll see how it goes!

Daystate has no plans to change from the current high quality and expensive barrel specification to the soda straw thin liner style.
The A.R.T group for Daystate have been rigorously testing new technologies for Barrels in each caliber and power levels. Slugs are also a part of the regime.
