[master_alexander]

thats realy cool. do you remember how it performed?

[Miscue]

Probably no differently from any other hollow tube.

[master_alexander]

thats a good way to put it...

it would be kinda cool to have a foam barrel.

BOA (Barrels of America) snakebite...I remember people used to think they were really good barrels. I think most were made of nickel plated brass, which accounts for the weight. I know a guy that had one, it was a nice barrel.

[Duzzy]

They had a beautiful finish on the inside. Probably the nicest barrel I have ever used in terms of quality and finish.

[Skoad]

does look a bit like teflon....

[TheTramp]

That's a great price for all of that.

really....quite interesting point.....must throw away all of my overpriced hyped barrles and get a cocker threaded stock spyder barrel.

I used to have a BOA on an old cocker of mine and it was one of the smoothest barrels I've had (it was an all brass BOA). But like the other guy said, it shoots no differently than a good paint to hollow tube match :P.

I've got the same barrel on my Mag right now. As stated above, its nickle plated brass, and has sort of a rubbery painted coating on it. Mine's a .689, and I think its been a fairly long time since they were last made.

My favorite barrel that I've used. Beatiful finish, heavy enough to use as a beating stick, and is obscure enough that people have no idea what it is...

If you could polish and cocker thread a wood pipe, it would work just as well as any other barrel.

Yes, plenty of hype about barrels. I only buy barrels for their price and "wicked lookedness". Any of mine are just as accurate as any of yours.

Also another cool barrel of note, The RAMROD.

Ha ha. I have a BOA in my Splatmaster. It's pretty ghetto. :D Shoots good though, I mean, better than the old plastic one at least! :shooting:

I concur. I have a brass one that I've kept from my old Trracer pump. I figure eventually I'll get an adapter made for it. :ninja:

You're kidding right?
I tried one of those. The one I tried, the finish looked like it had been finished with a sand blaster using cinder blocks as media. It shot like doo doo.

I have one of those BOA barrels. I had no idea what t was untill now, thanks. All I know is that barrel is heavy as sin and I keep it under the front seat of my car....just in case.lol

[Walrus]

Not all BOA barrels were brass or nickled brass, they also made them from stainless steel which accounts for the weight. I have a 10" snakebite stainless steel barrel for my minimag. I could not have asked for a better barrel.

I've got a 16" cocker threaded SnakeBite. It's all brass, and unported, so it sounds like a cannon with that nice brass ringing sound. Shoots darts and is dead-on accurate, though maybe that's because the muzzle doesn't jump around as much with all that weight out front.
