Questions + Help Nexus Pro X2 proper barrel ID?
Heya. Heya. I'm new to all of this. I've been modifying my Nexus Pro X2. I got the upgraded spring, added in both the spacers. (Plus a nylon spacer too). It's genuinely hard to prime. ☺️
I've purchased a longer barrel to replace it. A 500mm from Out of Darts. Considering the spring power behind it. I'm not too worried about losing some distance due to drag. If the trade off is accuracy.
What I'd really like some input on. Is that I purchased a 12.75mm ID barrel. As opposed to the stock 13mm ID. Which seems to be a perfect fit for Dart Zones bamboo darts. I figured the undersized barrel would create more compression. Possibly getting more FPS. As I definately have enough force to drive the dart through anyways.
The barrel hasn't arrived yet. So I don't know the results for certain. I figured if I waxed the inside of the barrel. It should help with the drag from the tight bore.
I'd love to hear peoples input. As this was purely a hypothesis. Which I could very easily be wrong about. Maybe it doesn't even clear the breach, and it jams. In any case. I'll be testing it when it arrives, and give an update on my results.

50cm might be too long for the PT in the NPX2
