    Very fond of the Mk 2 lite weight barrel system. You stepped it up quite a bit. Would love to have it on mine Continiuum. One thing though, you dont need to squeeze the snot out of the Orings with the brass lock nut. Leave a few mm before the hex nut hits....

    • @sub12airgunners

      I am still undecided on the Super lite system, it has its benefits but I think i prefer a traditional barrel system, I have yet to do a aback to back test between a STX and a normal barrel but I do intend to. I find unless I tighten the nut right up after a few hundred shots the liner moves forward, this normally results in low power or erratic accuracy so as a precaution I always tighten them right up. Thanks for watching.

      I never noticed that my liners move. Have them in .22 and .25. One 38 cm .22. One 50 cm in .22 And one 50 cm in .25. I do have some 70 cm liners but find them very awkward on my Crown. Did shot them but it handles like a musket..... have the Crown Continiuum for a year now. My outdoor range has an 50J limit so that is what the Crown is on.

    New to your channel, I spent 3 hrs watching various videos and love the no BS talk. Have you ever thought of fitting one of your shrouds to a red wolf, I have a .25 safari, which is like carrying a spear around the fields, and it hates any type of slug. Your shroud with 500mm fx heavy slug liner that fits a redwolf safari would very interesting.

  • @weirhauch1002
    @weirhauch1002 3 роки тому

    I think that liners are complex and unreliable on the long run .LW barrels are heavier and sturdier .This is my mere opinion .And as always ,great video 👍

    • @sub12airgunners
      @sub12airgunners  3 роки тому +1

      Probably right, in my experiance in sub 12 you don't really gain anything from the liners but they do work quite well for what they are. If I had a choice though I would go for a poly barrel from CZ or LW. Thanks for watching.

    The super light barrel system is okay for sub-12 but it's absolute rubbish on FAC guns.

    • @sub12airgunners
      @sub12airgunners  3 роки тому

      I thought it may be, if I am honest I don't really like the liner system for any power, I think it looses compared to a traditional barrel, and the new carbon sleeves coming out just prove this point that the liners are a bit flimsy. Thanks for watching.
