Hello everyone,
I am looking for the measurements of the plunger tube of the crossbow. Primarily the length, outer diameter and the inner diameter. I would measure myself, but I do not own one.
My searches yielded no help.
If you have your crossbow open and a caliper handy, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You're going to have some trouble with the ID; it slopes inwards making it smaller towards the barrel.Primarily the length, outer diameter and the inner diameter.
Length: 7" end to end, about 6-1/2" of plunger travel
OD: 1-5/16"
ID: 1-1/4" at the opening. It slopes inward like I said.
I'm assuming you're going to homemake it, so the inner sloping probably won't matter.

Thank you so much for your quick response, BlackFox
You are correct, I am trying to gather this info for a homemade. My goal is to make a bare-bones gun of similar performance that requires less tools and cutting than the +bow. Consider it a poor mans +bow.

A worthy cause. Rork made his awesome snapbow, but granted, it is a little complicated (not to speak for your if you're reading this!). It would be awesome if you could seriously have a simple homemade xbow.
The spring will have to be custom ordered via McMaster, most likely. I have never found a suitable Crossbow spring in stores.
Good luck!
