GBB barrels don't have a cut-out for the hop-up that AEG's have.

Yeah, to back up what Moondog said, GBB barrels are custom, often to the particular make of GBB. However they do make tight bores specifically for the WE GBBs. Alternatively is you know somebody that is good at machining you can convert an AEG barrel to use it in a GBB by recutting the hop up hole to match the original barrel. Good luck.

Thanks ! I know what a ggb barrel looks like on the hop up end but have yet to take an AEG hop up apart. Looks like that will change very soon LOL !!

I have the WE stock longer "H" barrel for my WE SCAR L but was thinking of something a bit tighter. Maybe I'm wrong and it already is tight but I don't know.

thanks again !
