Don´t worry, get what you can. the max length of airsoft barrel sold here are only 630mm and bloody expensive, around 40 euro for a aluminium one, most of the airsoft guns use only uses 560mm. So 60cm it´s ok for me.
I can also get you some precision made aluminium tube, 6mm ID 8mm OD.
It's under 4 euro's per meter I believe, me and a lot of friends have used it as an airsoft barrel, it works great.

Pm me your paypal account, with 30 euro how many tube can I get?
Finished, gonna make a suppressor tomorrow, not that it´s noisy but right now the barrel looks too skinny and I hope a air stripper style suppressor can improve the accuracy a little bit more(it´s already good).
Only used 5 bar for shooting this afternoon, neighbor are at home, but even through so after adjusting the hop up, effective range was 50m, measured with my laser range finder. If I turn the hop up a bit more I could reach 65m, but because the hop up isn´t perfectly leveled (a little bit turned to the left), the bb will turn to the left during the end of the flight
Will film a video tomorrow, also use higher pressure
BTW this gun fits perfectly in my m4 gun bag

I don't have paypal, but I'm sure we can figure it out.
For 30 euro's... I'll go to the hardware store tomorrow.
I believe I can get about 5 for that money, including postage costs.

Don´t worry, there are a lot of ways, and I don´t like paypal anyway. 30 euro for 5 including postage? You got a deal

Looking very tasty... wyz, if you can do this sort of thing with basic tools, you really need to start thinking about getting a lathe and mill - very worthwhile investment for someone like you!

Not that I don´t want to or don´t have money, but it´s just not possible here in Portugal, the only lathe I found was 700 euro and only work for things less than 10 inches; About the mill, I never saw one for sell around here.
I did found a lot of handy machinery in China, but they were just too big for me to bring them to here

ah, nice

it's pretty easy to do this with online banking.
heck, may be even cheaper
You'll probably need some sort of barrel support tough, these tubes have 1 mm walls.

Can you post some pictures? I´d like to see it so I can get a basic idea about how to use it

Took it to the field today, it was really nice 8) but then the regulator got a problem and the output pressure started to increase so I had to stop shooting and empty the tank
Also filmed short video about the basic functionality of the gun
