Hey, can anyone give me a quick rundown (or link to one) of inner barrels? I'm exparimenting on my TM FAMAS (or planning to, once I find some cash) and I'm curious to see what a tightbore/extended barrel would do for the range and grouping (the short range being my one major complaint about the design).

I was thinking of going overkill and putting a 650mm Prometheus tightbore barrel in it and hiding the additional 177mm that adds in a silencer. However, I need to know how these barrels work--are they universal for the most part, or will one listed as a "PSG-1 +" ONLY work with a PSG-1?

I did actually spot a Prometheus series called "universal," (1st link below) but I want to do a bit more homework before I decide on one or another...

Two current canidates in question:

and

http://airsoftglobal.com/product_inf...roducts_id=944

...are these the same thing tho??

Oh yeah, side note: I'm planning to do a spring/bushing upgrade at a [much] later date, and maybe if I'm reallly feeling froggy I might try sticking an EG1000 in there with an overhaul (should i find the parts) :hammer: ...but as it is, this is my only AEG, so I want to stick to upgrades with less chance of breaking things for the time being. Espechially considering I'm pretty new at this ;-)

Any input appreciated!
