Adapting the Outer Barrel of Your Airsoft Replica
Changing or extending the outer barrel — also known as the outer barrel — allows you to modify both the appearance and configuration of your airsoft replica. This component is useful if you want to lengthen your inner barrel or install certain accessories that require extra length (suppressors, flash hiders, handguards, etc.).
Outer barrels are generally made of metal for better durability, and can be mounted on electric replicas (AEG) or gas blowback replicas (GBBR), depending on the model.
Check the Thread Type: CW or CCW
An essential point when choosing an outer barrel is its threading:
- CW (Clockwise): the threading turns clockwise.
- CCW (Counter-Clockwise): more common in Airsoft, it turns counterclockwise.
Compatibility with your accessories (suppressors, tracers, flash hiders) depends directly on this threading. It is therefore important to check your replica’s technical specifications before purchasing.
Various Lengths to Suit Your Needs
Depending on the type of replica and your intended use, you can choose outer barrels of different lengths. Some models are fixed, others are modular or telescopic. The choice will depend on your replica's configuration, the desired style, or your intention to install a longer inner barrel.
Compatible with Accessories and Custom Setups
The outer barrels featured here are designed to fit many well-known Airsoft platforms (M4, MP5, AK, etc.). They allow you to customize your replica while maintaining compatibility with barrel-mounted accessories such as suppressors, flash hiders, thread adapters, and more.
