I seriously doubt "they" (meaning Tanio Koba) would do anything of the sort. The TK barrel's "rifling" is optimized for Japan velocity limits: 328 fps, or 1 Joule. Since, like most Japanese airsoft products, they are not intended for any market outside of Japan, suggesting "they" go into business making barrels for a higher velocity is irrelevent - the bulk of Mr. Kobayashi's customers are in Japan and could not use them anyways. Nice idea, but it ain't gonna happen.

There was a discussion on ACM Games in the Phillipines about making 500 FPS+ "twist" barrels, but I don't think it ever took off - the cost was too much, and most Filipino players were not willing to pay that much when they are already making their own 6.01 and 6.02 tightbores for dirt cheap (relative to the area of the world).....
