Hi, Im looking forward to buying some fbr however ive come across some problems.
Currently the stephan posts ive read tell that the fbr should be aproximetly 1/2 ich wide
The only one i can get a hold of is a .625" or a .375" any suggestions?

Keep searching, or get that size and see if you can find barrel material that fits it well. Downside is you won't be able to share darts with most others.
Where are you located?

If you live near a Fred Myer or some big Hardware store like Home Depot or Menards they usually have 1/2 in. FBR
Its actually called Caulk Saver though so you should ask for that.
By the way fix your grammar and your capitalization.

Ahh you're in this area. Well I don't know of any CA suppilers. And the stuff you find at home depot or Fred meyers is going to be frost king and is crap.
I picked up a roll of real dense Grey FBR at my taps plastics. If you have a plastics supplier in your area I would ask them if they have any. If all else fails I might be willing to part with some footage and mail it to you. FBR is REAL light so I don't imagine shipping will be very much.

Brass can be found at your local hobby shop or If you have ACE hardwares they carry it there.
Fish stores will sometimes have some 9/16th petg or clear wall tubing that works well for air guns. Cpvc you can get at home depot or lowes. Make sure you ask a rep there for C-PVC. This is different then Conduit PVC.

If you want Petg you might see if OMC can ship up to CA.

[ccssneo]

Yeah well you see i dont know many fish stores in My area so getting petg (which i believe is best?) maybe quite hard. Because i hav to go to Vancity and get a prepaid visa card and use it online to play OMC also it may take some time because there located in america. Does Homedepot or Rone give custom cut pvc or will i have a huge tube on my dads car?

Yo, they sell the PVC and CPVC in long sticks about 10' tall, and you can cut it at the tool rental desk to smaller chunks to make it easier to take home.

I got 1/2" FBR from Captain Slug, since I couldn't find any FBR here in Surrey either. OMC will ship PETG for the same shipping and price to Canada as he does to US members. USD $5 shipping + $0.50 a foot, not a bad deal. I might be ordering some soon, so if you want some we can split the shipping in half. You'll have to ask around for FBR though, I'm not sure if Captain Slug might do it for you.

Also, you gotta come for NUVO. June 28! Reminds me, I gotta fix the date on all the threads! Join the Facebook group too!

[ccssneo]

Yeah, getting PETG and maybe McMaster foam would be best.

Also, fix your spelling and punctuation. It's in the CoC.
