1416 is according to my caliper and calculations, 4.55 +/- 0.02 mm.
I'm looking at an easton X7 eclipse. THese are really good quality and have extreme straightness, make really good barrels.

Remember, for thin walled barrels you're gonna need to sleeve em. I do it with tape, epoxy and 1/4 inch pvc. Its so nice when your barrel feels really heavy and sturdy.

PS some news about bb ammo, I ordered a 3000 bag of 0.25g goldenball bb off ebay, and I told them to mark it as slingshot ammo, and it got through. Good news for aussies I guess.

I know this is an old topic but... I haven't been on Spudfiles for yonks! lozz08, that is a really good find! so you basically mark it as 'slingshot ammo' and it should be all G to import BBs over to Australia?

Also if you live in Brisbane... Queen St. also have 6.35 (i think maybe .15mm thickness) aluminium and brass tubing... costing about 8bucks a metre or 4bucks for 30cm (8bucks is definitely the better buy)... The barrel is easy to bend so just watchout for that, but I'm happy found my BB Barrels and going to get .12g off outdoors warehouse... but I will checkout ebay.
