      I believe that the new modular bodies only accept cocker barrels. Why not let Tom answer this....

        Tom doesn't have to answer it. They will take cocker barrels.

            AGD created the modular body because they have received quite a bit of negative feedback concerning the twist lock barrel. To make the new body accept the old barrels defeats the purpose of the mod. You can't have it both ways, twist lock, or cocker threads.

                twist lock

                most people hate the nubbin, others think that 10 bucks more for the automag barrel is not worth it- i dunno, i personally like the twst lock barrels a lot

                    One of the complaints the "pro" players kept using was that the mag twist-lock barrels tended to move a bit while firing, and they didn't like that.

                      ...But the MAIN reason the new modular bodies take 'cocker barrels is because that's how the "modular" component (the feed tube section) is held in place. 'Cocker barrel threads are used because they are common. Personally, I like Indian Creek barrels because the barrel unscrews with only 1 1/4 turns. Much quicker.

                        Re: 10 extra bucks

                        In response to sbikeclix's reply, I have seen local stores, and some websites that do not charge the usual extra 10 bucks for automag and model 98 barrels.

                          I'd rather have cocker threads because in speedball, if you ever do break a ball, which is very unlikely, a straight shot is quicker to use and works pretty well. So it's useless to have the 1/4 twist and pay the extra $10. Then the barrels get stuck sometimes and are a pain to get out.

                            I use a straight shot with my mag barrel to. But if you NEED to take the barrel off, it takes like two seconds to yank it out! Also you wont get the threads to mess up on a mag barrel(last tourney I was at a dude had his Shocker barrel meld with the Shocker and it took forever to get it out...I dont know what happened to the gun!).

                            ENDO!

                              Flamebo - Does someone out there actually have a trade-in/exchange policy for Mag Twist to Mag Threaded (okay, cocker) barrels? If you've got the hook-up, let us know! Thanks, man - MENACE
                              Searching, looking, hoping to find a Desert Duck. Can anyone help?
