Alright, I've done a lot of reading and research and still can't seem to get a straight answer. I've read a lot about why the axis isn't a good gun to build on and I get it, but I bought the gun that I could buy for the money and without driving six hours and im not interested in a lecture on how there's better models to start with (no offense to those of you who are highly opinionated)... Just looking for any helpful info at all on a new barrel. Thank ya much guys, I appreciate any, constructive, feedback.
