Yes, adjustable is far the best idea for a barrel, I agree! Because every instrument needs a personalized barrel, despite the factory gear, and all deafault barrels are the same length (64, 65, 66..., etc.). But it is rather a two-part relationship, one of which is the barrel, the other most important thing is the "marriage" of the joints (the place where upper and lower joint meet). It is most defining for the length of the barrel, and might vary despite the robot-processed body. Every instrument is unique, sometimes it's a matter of 0,2 mm. So, logically a barrel should be made personally for an instrument after the joints "marry", not before. This reminds me of a video of N.Balderou trying out about a dozen of instruments, of which he chose only two, referring to as perfect, and the others were just good. So much with length. As for the bore, never has a cylindrical bore barrel I've tried or made sounded good (and I've made a lot). Usually a reverse policylinder is better than cone, where the most part would be the bore, and just the last 1 mm of the bore length be 0.5 mm smaller. This makes good focus, air flow and dynamics. Best regards and indulge!
