22x18mm carbon fiber tube
Ditched the plastic barrel support and machined a snug fit aluminum one.
The plastic one had a .013" to small o.d.and a .010" to large i.d.......lil bit of rattle.
The carbon sleeve goes inside the texan tube about 8" all the way to the inside aluminum barrel supports.
I left a lil over 1" barrel stick out for a future muzzle brake project.
Had this gun only a couple of days.
I cast some .457 220 grains and at 30 yards it was 3' or larger 5 shot groups.
Adding the sleeve changed the point of aim greatly and groups are now sub 2"
I will glue the sleeve on byt fir now it's near a perfect fit.
