Smart Parts Venturi Barrel

[Puddleglum]

What do you guys know about these? I'm thinking about getting an 8" and wanted to know if anyone owned and like one.

[[NA]WARLORD]

I used the 12"
one for a long time but it was sold another manufacturer before Smart Parts bought them out. Its very accurate but i'm not sure about the 8" version, might be good for small speedball course.

they look cool on a minimag or one like mine but there really isnt anything great about them i just bought it for looks. I use it here and there

[SGTKennedy]

i used the 8 on a cocker. i absolutly loved it. in my opinion the accuracy out of any paintgun sucks. so if the noise doesnt bother you, go for it. otherwise i would be willing to trade you it for my Dye 10".

Yeah, I'm getting it pretty much for looks. It will look awsome with my new powdercoat. If anyone wants to well one I'm interested.

[[NA]WARLORD]

go to the paintball section of ebay, type in automags in search srea, there are two on there as of yesterday. Also paintballgear.com sells them under barrels section, in Smart Parts section.

[[NA]WARLORD]

Sorry, only one left now....hehe, hope you can outbid me....

[kenshinkandon]

I've seen them also at paintballgear.com and skanline.com I think skanline is cheaper but check both to be sure.

[Puddleglum]

So you're the one bidding. It went from like $10.00 to like $30.00 in hours. Sheesh. Fortunatly I know the seller so I'm hoping he'll hook me up.

[[NA]WARLORD]

Feel sorry for whomever won it, they just spent 57.00 total for a 40.00 barrell brand new, heheheh,..... i guess P.T.Barnum was right, there IS a sucker born every minute,LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!

i love it. it is a little loud but not too bad. With a good paint match it is very accurate. It looks sweet i think and it will look even better once i get the stuff i want for it and get rid of the xpansion chamber and other stuff

(im gettin retro valve, iframe, super bolt, a freak, dz2, foregrip, new sight rail, polish the body)i know its ugly but that will change soon:)

[Space Cowboy]

I have the 8" for my minimag. I love it! It's a little loud because it's so short but I don't try to be sneaky anyway. It's very accurate and light. It also works great with marbs.

[Puddleglum]

Aaargghh......I want one really bad.

[TITAN]

i think pbgear sells em

[Puddleglum]

YEeeeehaaaaaawwwww


(thanks)

[[NA]WARLORD]

sorry to be the bearer of bad news Puddleglum, but last time i checked they only had 12" in stock, try 800/888 Paintball .com, i think i seen them there at one time, but dont quote me on it..hehehe. Good Luck in your search !!! p.s. if i see one somewhere,i'll let ya know....

Hey [NA] where do you play in Woldorf, Maryland?

[[NA]WARLORD]

we have a field in White Plains (played there today), 1 in Clinton (behind hospital), 1 in Bryantown and 1 in Aquasco. I belong to a team that was est. in late 80's early 90's, in which we have a lot of properties to play on.

[Slapp]

If you like the look of these things I'd try to find one in at least 12" length. The 8" has porting down at least the last 2" of barrel meaning that your effective barrel length is only about 6". This should make the barrel pretty inefficient and will make you turn up the velocity on your marker a bit more to get the same FPS you would get in a barrel that has an 8" or 10" effective length.

These are still on some online retail places web sites but if you actually order one you will be informed that they are out of stock. I think Smart Parts stopped making them because it was costing too much to produce them due to the flare at the end of the barrel.
