I was looking thru ebay for a barrel and every damn page has these 3A barrels. Then I came across a 10 piece barrel kit for $119.00. It don't look bad at all and the price is great, but is it a good quality barrel. I'm really thinking of getting it, but I don't feel like spending 119 on a POS barrel kit. So has anyone here ever seen, use, or have this kit. What do you think of it?

there is a reason there are so many on ebay.

i used to have one on my mag it is not worth it . Its a waste of money in my opinion. there are better abrrels out there for 120. If your gunna spend your money on a barrel get one that is worth it

If you want a cheap barrel kit worth every penny, go with J&J. The kits are like 110-120, and come with 1 front and 4 backs.

Yeah I have a edge kit for my minimag Love it. Now that I'm getting an e-mag and a ULE I want to try something new. Someone recommanded the Sanchez barrel kit to me. So I'm now looking into that one.

Have you been to the 3A website, its really scarry. It look like they use the barrels for, "other reasons."

Talk to Spydarm...check out the SM1 Barrel kit. I tried one today and all i can say is wow. Others tested it too and came up with the same results. The machining quality is top notch. Check them out.
