So my concept continues with multiple bore sizing but I plan on adding a third bore size into a single barrel configuration. The configuration is cocker gun to sp/cocker python kit, to cocker/sp python it, too either jj edge kit or freak. I know that the masses here are very eager to get some results. Please stay calm okay. |

Not gonna lie: this makes NO sense to me. Since we're going that way, make it like 36". ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Yeah on the surface it doesn't make much sense but its really a matter of can more than want. I have a ton of barrel configurations that i can mess with ranging from 9 5/8 to a maximum of 13 5/8 with the apex tip. Other considerations are using a shorty barrel tip but adding 3 more inches of control bore. I think that the potential exists that a barrel of the overall same length with a large bore for the front will be less accurate than the configuration with the three extra inches of control with a shorty tip. The whole step bore thing is really just because i only have one set of bore inserts. Other random considerations is that the python kit places an apex tip on a shorty barrel perfectly in front of the front block group. |

So you're screwing bore inserts together for funsies? Machine a flatline adapter for the end of it. -------------

The jj Apex adapter and a jj shorty tip should arrive soon. A call to JJ revealed that the JJ Apex adapter will also fit perfectly on the old style Edge tip which is straight. I think that it is 7/8" O.D. As an example of some of the configurations, the same overall length of the standard Edge barrel alone which is 13 5/8" not including threads can be achieved by using 2 Python bodies, Edge control bore, jj shorty tip, JJ apex adapter, and the Apex tip. This configuration will yield 2 7/8" more control bore opposed to the standard JJ Edge barrel alone. I need a good go pro mount |

I always used electrical tape without issue for an APEX mount FWIW. -------------

| Yeah the jj is rigged up with electrical tape and it works good but just kind of want to square away the gear a bit. In the future i see an objective Apex, Apex 2, 98 flatline, a5 flatline distance test. |
