Has anyone heard anything about the Tanio-Koba HOP Twist Barrel for Marui AUG / M14 / M16 Series ( 509mm )???? It sounds good being a twist barrel and all has anyone tried it out?
M14's have a unique hop up chamber mount. If you're going for a longer length, you'll have to get the hop up end custom cut.

And on that note, you'll need to check your air volumes - not sure how much air the M14 cylinder can push out.

As for the Twist inner barrel - you can't use it effectively if you're shooting over 330fps.

I don't see how TK can have a universal barrel for M14 and the other 509mms
I had this barrel before, and the cut was done effectively. I'll be damned if I can remember how they did it again, but if I think I remember correctly, they had TWO of the C-clip notches cut out. The only difference between M14 inner barrels and standard AEG inner barrels is that the M14 inner barrel's C-Clip sits closer to the hop up end.
