im going to be using a arrow shaft with an od of 8mm and an id of 6mm as my barrel on my bb sniper, but there is no way i can attach it to the valve! i could use compression fitting but they are hard to find in my area! any ideas?

Take it to the hardware store and find a threaded brass or steel nipple that has an ID of a tiny bit more than 8mm. Epoxy the arrow shaft into it. The tap a hole in some PVC and screw in the barrel.

I did that with my bb gun. I used a 1/4 inch brass nipple, duct tape, and a little epoxy. It works great. Ive never had it fall off or crack or anything like that.

or use a bit of air hose clamped around ur barrel and thread it into ur valve with a hose barb threaded bit thingy
