maybe use a jbl tru glide rail. they are pretty cheap and work like a dream! i have one on my old sporasub samurai gun with 2 bands. just epoxy it on as opposed to using their sticky 2 sided tape that comes with it. rough up the barrel lightly with sandpaper as well.

I installed the JBL rail on my 110cm gun using the supplied tape and followed directions to the letter. It stayed on almost a whole week before it peeled off. I didn't try epoxy, but I went to the hardware store and picked up a roll of 3M double stick tape. It was the most heavy duty they had, and comes with a red backing. I peeled off the old JBL adhesive tape, cleaned the barrel and rail, and applied. It's been on for about 2 years now and has taken a major beating. I even cut out a section of the rail so I could install an Instinct reel. That rail is on there for good. I'd throw the barrel away before I tried to remove the rail.
My only complaint about the JBL rail, (and it's a minor one), is that it's shaped for the JBL 3/8" shaft and is a bit wide for 6-7mm euro shafts. (Works just fine though.) I have an Aimrite rail on another gun that's narrower. I believe the Omer rail is very good as well.
For what it's worth, I did see a noticeable increase in accuracy with the hammerhead muzzle once I installed a rail.
