scar barrel

johnjoe96

ok i have a star scar and im lookin to get a 6.01 mm tightbore barrel for it, a few questions really 1) where would i get the barrel in ireland? and does anyone know what lenght barrel i need? and lastly if i do get one will i have to do something else to the gun in order for it to work properly?

thanks jj.

6.01 is not something your will normally find in stock in Ireland, any reason for a 6.01 over a 6.03, the improvement in performance over the two on an aeg is debatable and the cost of 6.01 barrel is rather extortionate

i have a 6.03 in my scar, does the job...6.01's are hard to find and a bit more expensive

I use a madbull 6.03 barrel and gaurder clear hop up rubber in nearly all my aeg's and I think this is an excellent combo if your looking to get good range and accurecy and the parts won't break the bank. Good quality bb's are a must to get the most from this kind of set up.

same combo in mine Lar, works very very well

As above^^

I've read some posts on here about problems with 6.01 tight-bore barrels. The jist of it is that the barrel is too tight, and can cause more frequent jams...jams that wouldn't otherwise happen with 6.03 etc.

When you get a tightbore barrel, there will be a slight increase in FPS, so if your Scar is already teetering on the 320's, you may have to replace the spring, or snip a couple of coils off of your existing one. If you're replacing the barrel with one of the same length (363mm is standard M4 length - I think the scar is the same, but might be longer...if so, I think it's 430mm) then you won't have to change anything, although virtually everyone here will recommend you change the hopup rubber. Number 1 recommended is Guarder Clear. It's not necessary, but it does give superior performance over stock rubbers.

If you change the barrel to a longer one, then you may have to change the cylinder, as it may not produce enough air to push the BB out of the barrel.

Hope this helps

thanks for all the replies, i just had it in my head for a 6.01 for some reason but 6.03 would do and im using the standard length barrel, but where would i get one i havent seen any places to get them in ireland. and the hopup rubber.
very new to upgrading so dont know much about it. thanks jj.

I've bought the madbull 6.03 tight bores and hop up rubbers in both Mia and qas, both are good shops for after market bits.

Mid West Airsoft had 6.03 barrels on there web site last week, not there now I know because I got a 363mm barrel from him
Tony can order you any length that you need ( he has done this for me a few times )
