Finding .177" pipe

[Kilash]

1/4" brakeline from the auto parts store of your choice. (NAPA)

.177 pellets fit near perfectly, it'll handle several thousand psi, and the best for last....

ITS CHEAP.

What I used for my .177 pistol, brake lines tubes make awesome cheap barrels, plus they come with brass fittings you can simply screw into whatever. Also, a 1/4 rigid brake line would be rated to about 10,000 - 11,000 psi burst pressure, no need to sleeve or reinforce for an air gun. Standard bundy brake line is rolled from mild steel sheet, with a wall thickness of of 0.028 inches. If you get bare steel lines (no "poly coating" or galavanization), that works out to an 0.194" nominal inner diameter. When I load my pistol with 0.177 BBs, I use a bit of thin paper or plastic for wadding, but I find that you don't need any wadding for 0.177 lead pellets, they're a perfect seal in a 1/4" tube, and with enough pressure the skirts obturates against the barrel anyways.

Brake lines should have sleeves though, they bend SO easily. Check this out, it's my go-to barrel, accuracy is pretty good too:

Fit is pretty good too, could be better of course

I use an oversized black iron pipe, namely just to contain any fragments or sharpnel if the barrel does indeed bursts, but it makes a cheap sleeve if you're worried about dropping and bending the barrel.

Vng, did you actually order this on Amazon??? How did that go?
