T3 how fat a barrel?

Post by Con »

Anyone have a good guestimate for how heavy a barrel can be fitted to a T3? Tried placing a straight taper barrel that's around 23mm at muzzle ... nope too heavy. :lol:

What profile can be fitted without modification, and with modification of the forend given its essentially a two piece front.
Cheers...

I would try and see what dimensions the T3 Varmint barrel is - they handle that weight well. ?

Handles the weight quite well mate, expecially when you get rid of the plastic stock. :D

Me too, swapped out the standard T3 Lite stock for a Varmint stock.
