When you say u cut down the Dye, what do you mean? Hacksaw cut? How?

the barrel threads were cut off with a lathe. The result is a threadless barrel. Other than that, the barrel is completely intact.

Like Chaos posted, older Angel threaded barrels are good candidates for this proceedure. Autococker barrels seem to work well too.

I just use the PPS barrel that mine came with (10" single ported matched brass barrel with a sight pin). But it's quite easy to turn down a barrel to fit a Blazer if you have a lathe. It's not something you're going to be able to do with a dremel if that's what you're asking. It's not a matter of cutting off length of the barrel, you have to turn down the outer diameter to 0.795" for a length of either 2.30" (for a 1k blazer) or 2.03" (for a 2k).

Autococker barrels will work (most of the time), but the best are the old Angel threaded barrels.

All you need to do is get the barrel or kit you want and have someone at a machine shop or someone with a lathe turn the barrel down to these dimensions.

I have a J&J 2 piece from a autococker converted. works well. 3 backs milled for 2K blazer plus PPS brass with spiral vent.

Yes, I was considering something like the dremel...
So, what you're telling me is that it might work with a lathe (new word to me!) and with old Angel barrels. How do i recognize the old and the new barrels? Dont want to make any mistakes. Please explain the necessary steps to me so that i can look for someone around willing to do it for me...
And how hard is it to convert a mamba barrel kit, with Angel thread? Are the backs harder to convert?
Which barrels have a larger OD than the PPS, allowing to be turned to the Blazer? (just want a wider choice)
Apologize for all the questions. I dont know where else to turn....

It probably is just easier if i found one for sale....(is anyone taking a hint?!)

Are all Angel barrels fit to be converted?
I saw an Evil Kit for the Angel, and i'm considering converting it to the Blazer, but I'd like to know if its a good one to be turned.
How are the shocker barrels for the turning?
Thanks

I would get the .685 PPS Barrel to shoot the small paint. The stock barrel is .690. They made a .688 for a short period of time.

It is really hard (maybe impossible) to beat a PPS barrel!
