    is this barrel ok or will this cause issues?

    ok so i was checking this barrel out i have and it looks like the end is beveled. will this cause inaccuracy or other problems with ball flight?

    Run your finger on it. If it feels jagged, rough or anything other than smooth, then it should be fine.

    so its smooth i should run a file down it then right?

    no but really thanks guys. wasnt sure if it would mess with ball trajectory; never seen a barrel like that at the end.

    I found using rusty rasp gives the best results

    The ball gets pushed into the barrel by the bolt prior to getting fired. The circumference of the ball that is in contact with the barrel will be past the back edge of the barrel when the ball is actually fired. If the ball gets into the barrel safely, any edge treatment on the barrel won't have any affect on the ball when it is fired.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
