Buy a clamp on bayonet lug while you're at it; a completely useless yet neat looking accessory for anything! The longer barrel MIGHT give you an increase in accuracy, but it wouldn't be because of the length...by the time the pellet has exited the crosman barrel, it has taken all the air that it can. And since we don't have to worry about burning up all the powder in a cartridge (one of the reasons for higher velocities in pistol caliber carbines), the extra length will, in all odds, not contribute much to the velocity...However, I would NOT doubt if the barrel quality is better in the aftermarket barrel you would be installing, as the crosman barrel seems fairly run of the mill, anything's gotta be better than that! | |
