Outer barrels

Outer Barrels - improved stability and a sleek barrel finish

An outer barrel is the visible, structural part of the barrel and plays a crucial role in the stability and alignment of the inner barrel. A high-quality outer barrel ensures less play, improved fit and a consistent line of fire. Whether you are performing a technical upgrade or want to give your build a more realistic look, a good outer barrel forms a solid basis for precision and durability.

Why choose Outer Barrels

An aftermarket outer barrel offers better fit and construction quality than standard models, which directly benefits the accuracy and stability of the inner barrel. By choosing materials such as aluminium or steel and variants with threading or special profiles, you can easily customise your setup to suit your playing style, from CQB to DMR. This makes outer barrels ideal for builders who want to combine functionality with a professional look.

Frequently asked questions

Does an outer barrel affect accuracy?
Yes, indirectly. A stable and play-free attachment of the inner barrel improves the consistency of your shots.

Which material is most suitable?
Aluminium offers a light and strong construction, while steel provides extra robustness for intensive builds.

Can I use a threaded barrel without a tracer or silencer?
Certainly, a threaded variant offers flexibility for later use without adversely affecting your setup.

Is every outer barrel compatible with my inner barrel?
Not always, because diameters and fits vary by model. It is important to compare the specifications carefully.

Combine your outer barrel with AEG precision inner barrels or Sniper inner barrels, hop-up buckings for AEGs or GBB/Sniper rifles, and flash hiders, silencers, or tracer units to optimise your complete barrel assembly for performance and aesthetics.
