6mm BB barrel (Australia)

Im living in south australia, just wondering if anyone knows where to get a nicely fitting barrel for 6mm bb'? it has to be like copper/brass or something.

Thanks

6mm copper pipe? Brakeline?

[Kenny_McCormic]

9/32 brakeline or 5/16 brakeline

Small world - i'm in SA too.

I'm using 8mm aluminum sleeved in 1/2" copper pipe. Works well. Keeps it strong on the outside but retaining the small bore.

The alu is a little less than 6mm internal tho - i am using 5mm bb's in about 5.7mm bore - couldn't get 5.5mm balls.

The alu came from local hardware store and is only about $12 for 1.8m...

thanks mate, ill look around.

Do not order McMaster's copper tubing, it doesn't fit 6mm BB's in it. I haven't tried aluminum, but I would assume the same thing. My guess is that you can just buy airsoft gun barrels that the nice electric guns use.
