Any unported barrel will help. It'll be REAL loud, but it'll help.

Lapco does a few, and the stock AGD barrels will to, as they are unported.

What kind of tank system are you running? Do you have the mid or short spring in the Level 10 installed? What carrier?

I too will recommend any of Lapco's barrels for this use. I've used Lapcos as long as I can remmber...and love them. I would only use a Lapco on my markers

does the level 10 that comes with the xmag come tuned? is all i have to do when i get it adjust the springs? or do i still have to tune it like when putting it on a classic valve?

Sometimes you have to tune it, sometimes you don't.

id say your going to have to tune. the oring will get worn in and require more tuning once you have lets say shot 1000 rds or so.

I didn't have to tune the lvlX on my ULE RTP. Just went up one spring size.

Best thing to do is try a bunch over a chrono, without adjusting anything, and see which one gets you the highest velocity.
