Have noticed many Aussies have trouble finding suitable 6mm barrel materials ( short of iffy import ) My set up is an inexpensive "easton" jazz (maker of all things puality aluminium like) arrow blank or arrow with tip and tail cut off. $10.00 each or less for x10. I walk around bunnings (local multi national hardware store) looking for "stuff" With my evil eye I did spy...reffer to pics. The arrow blank Fits super tight in air fitting, I always give a rough sand helps slips in better plus helps with epoxy. I didn't want to use Carbon fiber as the inside of most looked undressed and grippy.. found heaps of places selling 6mm chromies also (balls) whole set up under $20 nit including epoxy.. I have 2 tins :)plus my new balls available most parts of oz not all.

Nice work on the barrel, I'll make a trip down to the LGS and see if the Als have gone down from $12.

Jack, c'mon. I reckon they're dickheads too, but I prefer them to the idiotic whaling arrangement that the Japs have going. Didn't hear much of an outcry when they came into our waters uninvited.
