Materials

Cloth

Wax

Dowel

1. Take some car wax and slap it on the cloth

2. Shove the cloth down barrel

3. Push the cloth using dowel

4. repeat until inside is nice and shiny

This is an ideas i have yet to test but seriously what could go wrong its only your stock barrel

I cant see as to how waxing the inside of a barrel will make it shoot better. What reasoning do you have?

Enlighten me.

i dunno if you look at the stock barrel the insides are all not smooth and on the higher end barrels they are like mirrors. I cant test this out because i sold my tippy so i want someone to try it and post the results because i think it might work.

But that doesn't affect accuracy.

Accuracy is determined by paint to bore match. If you have crappy paint to bore match you will have crappy accuracy.

I heard that if you cut the stock barrel at a 45 degree angle like this>/____
you can get a flatline like effect. IDK if it accually works but it might.

Throw the stock out and buy a new one, its a proven fact that 98c/A-5 stock barrels are horrible.

that would be really tough to do because flatlines are like bent almost exactly the same (each one i mean) so you could try it and get back to me cuse now i wanna kno if it works (i think you would have alot of trouble though but good luck)

 

and bye the wayi think car wax would slow the ball down
