          I'm amazed at the fact that great deal of people on this board will follow the word of tom Kaye like it's gospel. Blindly following at his every thought. Guess what he knows tons of stuff and has the knowledge and equipment to back up his theory's but he ain't god.
          The Crown point barrel the best possible barrel???!!! you're insane! Wouldn't a series of holes along the front section of a barrel be just as effective in slowly introducing the ball into the cold harsh world? Gee it works pretty good doesn't it? wow it's quiet too.
          As for bore size not mattering, you try to jam a .690 ball through a .684 barrel. I guess you would just blame the paint manufacturers or the barrel manufacturers anyway.

            Dave -

            First off, for $20, you can't go wrong.

            Secondly, who knows, Tom might just be testing to see who will listen to him like that.

            Third, I use my 8" MM stock barrel very often, and REALLY like the performance. It shoots just as well as my 14" SP AA barrel. So, given that I am impressed with AGD's barrels already, why not give another one a shot, especially for only $20? If they were $50, I would have passed.

            I do think a bunch of people here are just going on faith and not experience, though, possibly.

            Also, you can take in the fact that these original Crown Points are a piece of Automag history :) I'd probably buy one for $20 even they shot like crap just to own one.

                Actually looking back at Tom's first post, the transfer boundry stuff he's talking about is bunk...

                The paintball is already hitting still air, at nearly 200mph even in the barrel... the rock in the water idea only applies for density medium changes.

                But he did made it sound pretty believable

                  Thordic, I was selling overstock for a local store last year on ebay and was getting around 20 bux for crown points, there is a market for them obviously, and they do look pretty cool, but come on a superiour barrel? insanity.

                  Butter,

                  what's your beef with Smart parts? they've got one of the best markers available right now, the impulse it shoots awesome, and at half the price of it's comp. Their customer service is much better than it ever has been.

                    And in the time it took me to write that, three people post like comments.

                    I'll probally buy one anyway, I've always liked the way it looked, and I think it used to cost closer to $40... it'll go on the stock barrel pile.. :)

                        I never claimed they were the best barrel. I'm buying one because A) I like AGD barrels (I never said they were they best, just that I liked them) B) Because the price and C) because of the fact its almost a collectors piece.

                        Thats all. Tom's post may be a little over the top, but I did enjoy reading it. If he had just posted "Check the store for crown points, now on sale" I woulda bought one too :)

                            I feel jypped. I never did get my question answered.

                            I've tried shooting large bore paint out of a small bore barrel. That's no good. Neither is shooting small bore paint out of a large bore barrel (flatline and zbody excluded).



                            Oh well I think i'll just stick with what I got.

                              Potatoboy: Look 4 posts above your post.... you will see SHartley post that replaced the post so you proudly display.... Where are trying to go with this?

                              I'm not sure how to respond to this because you keep editing the content of your post....

                                Really? Mine works great (ask Jonneh hehehe) apart from when the occasional ball rolls out. That I hate!
