MCS | Pistelle X-68 Aluminium Barrel & Muzzle Configuration | 0.68 Calibre

Pistelle X-68 Aluminium Barrel & Muzzle Configuration

Build your Pistelle X-68 barrel setup to suit the way you use your launcher.

This modular system lets you choose from several aluminium barrel lengths. You can then add a compatible 22 mm muzzle device or suppressor.

The barrels use lightweight 6061 aluminium and have a precision 0.686″ bore. Each barrel also has a 22 mm threaded muzzle.

This gives you a simple way to change the length, balance and look of your Pistelle X-68.

Choose Your Barrel Length

• 4.5″
• 6″
• 7″
• 8″
• 9″
• 10″
• 11.5″
• 12″

A shorter barrel keeps the launcher compact.

A longer barrel changes the balance and overall size of the setup. It can also work better with muzzle devices that slide back over part of the barrel.

Always check that the length you choose works with the muzzle device you want to use.

What Does the 0.686″ Bore Mean?

The internal bore of the barrel is about 0.686 inches.

It is made for suitable 0.68 calibre rounds used with the Pistelle X-68.

Round size, weight, gas pressure and launcher setup can all affect how the barrel performs.

For this reason, actual results may vary between setups.

Choose Your Muzzle Setup

Each barrel uses a 22 mm muzzle thread.

Depending on stock, compatible options may include:

• Thread Protector Saver
• M4 Muzzle Brake
• Stiletto Muzzle Brake
• Raven Muzzle Brake
• Noveske Sound Amplifier
• Hammerhead M50 Whisper
• Reaper
• MCS Special Ops Suppressor
• MK23 II Suppressor
• SOCOM

The MCS Special Ops Suppressor | 22mm is a useful option for longer barrel setups. Part of the suppressor body fits back over the barrel, which helps keep the finished setup more compact.

The Pistelle X-68 MK23 II Suppressor is another option for longer barrel setups.

Compatible Launcher

This barrel system is designed for the Defense Innovation Pistelle X-68 Gen2.

Always confirm your launcher model before ordering.

Performance

Changing barrel length can affect the way your launcher feels and performs.

Results can depend on:

• Barrel length
• Round type
• Round weight
• Gas pressure
• Temperature
• Launcher condition
• Other fitted parts

Because of these factors, this configurable product should not be given one fixed Joule rating.

Some specific barrel and muzzle combinations may change the power of the launcher, but the result depends on the full setup.

Care and Maintenance

Keep the bore clean and free from dirt or damaged rounds.

Check the muzzle threads before fitting an accessory.

Never force a muzzle device onto the barrel. If it does not turn smoothly, remove it and check the threads.

Clean the barrel after use when needed.

Inspect the barrel and threads from time to time for wear or damage.

For launcher maintenance, consider the Pistelle X-68 Gen 2 Upgrade Seal Kit and Lubricant Grease.
