204 Barrel Questions?????????????
« on: January 18, 2008, 05:55:54 PM »
I am going to send in my receiver and have a 204 fitted to it.  Should I get the urltra fluted barrel or the bull barrel? Thanks for your input.  Comanche.

I got the bull for maximum weight, but the fluted looks nice. I don't think it matters for accuracy, so buy whatever you like.

From tests that have been conducted a 23 inch long barrel gives the max velocity, so take your choice 22 inc BB or 24 inch fluted. I have the 22 inch BB.

I'd agree with Mc on the barrel length, Bullberry did the testing. Of course that's with just one loading, the results could be skewed any way you want with different components. :D
