Howdoo,
fitted a barrel extension to a tiger so i replaced the inner barrel with some ally tube, with the new piece the inner diameter is ok, tighter bore than the original but the outside diameter is a bit small so this is how i got around it,

wrap the end with plumbers ptfe tape keeping as close to the end as possible
just enough so it's a nice snug fit, not too tight, as well as increasing the dia the tape helps form an airtight seal

regards  Jack.

that's a neat way of sealing the gun tube to the breach

ditto, great idea

and you have no problems with the airsoft gun after the upgrade?

cheers

Hi Steen,
only one small problem, had to widen the hole in the muzzle brake slightly, the alloy tube is a slightly smaller outer diameter than the hl barrel and i don't think i got it central in the outer barrel, probably a few wraps of the ptfe tape would have done it

regards  Jack.
