SHS AEG Cylinder, Matched to Barrel Length — cylinder volume matched to the barrel in front of it. Choose by inner barrel length.

Cylinder choice is arithmetic rather than taste. The volume of air the cylinder holds should suit the volume of the barrel it is feeding, and the port position is what sets that.

Too much cylinder for a short barrel wastes air and adds noise. Too little for a long one and the BB leaves before the stroke finishes, which costs you both power and consistency.

Our supplier gives two: a flat cylinder for barrels from 200 to 350mm, and a grooved one for 451 to 590mm. Those ranges are how they are listed, and they are the basis for choosing.

Good to know before you buy

Measure your inner barrel rather than your outer one. Two guns of identical external length can carry very different inner barrels, and it is the inner that decides this.

Frequently asked questions

What if my barrel falls between the two ranges?
Between 351 and 450mm neither range covers you. Ask us before ordering rather than rounding to the nearest.

What does the groove do?
It is the port position that sets the effective volume. The two are cut for different barrel ranges, which is the practical difference.

Do I need a new cylinder head as well?
Not necessarily, but check the seal while everything is apart. A new cylinder against a tired head will not give you what you paid for.

⚠ Match it to the inner barrel: the wrong cylinder volume costs muzzle energy and consistency, and no amount of spring will properly compensate for it.
💡 Titan Forge Airsoft tip: Write your inner barrel length somewhere you will find it again. It decides the cylinder, the nozzle and half the tuning choices after that. Browse gearbox parts.
