I would be willing to bet that is a custom mill.....




...could be wrong.

looks like a stock minimag barrel, annoed and custom milled. very cool looking, i bet it hogs gas like crazy though

[VFX_Fenix]

I have seen that "porting" pattern before, I don't believe it's custom since there's a tickle in the back of my head that says it was a production barrel.

That may have been where the idea came from.

I've seen that style of porting on White Wolf's Freak tips, so my guess is it's one of his. It might have been a custom job on a MiniMag barrel.

Didn't BOA have a barrel called the Snake Bite that had a spiral like that? Looks more custom to me though. Very few manufacturers make/made barrels that short.

WOW that is old school and a rare find. I forget who made those, but they were production barrels. They weren't very popular, so I dont think that there are many around.

Is that maybe one of those old "adjustable porting" barrels, but without the adjustment sleeve? My memory, or rather what's left of my memory, seems to be failing me this morning. Maybe I'll stumble across it in an old APG or other such publication.

It's a "twister" barrel and it did come with a sleve that would block off the porting, thus making it a very hot shooter.

It was a production barrel and it was an unbelievable gas hog. Looks cool though.

it's begging for a y grip.

This was mine,It puts a spin on the ball,Works damn good not really too much of a gas hog due to the rifle effect! :shooting:

Tony :cheers:

Looks good though eh,As far as I know there was never any "sleeve" :rolleyes:

[trevorjk]

**sighhhh**

Porting, in no way, shape, or form, will not and cannot impart a spin to the ball.

although you almost never see porting like that. :p

[master_alexander]

anybody remember the mister twister barrels? i remember a lime green one... it was ugly...

but it was basically that barrel and you could close the porting on it.

thats what it reminds me of.

[Josh2Xtremes]

A Proline twister barrel...been a long time since I've seen one of those. Saw one back in, I think, 1997 for the first time. The problem was, adjusting the porting also adjusted the velocity making it not what I'd call tournament legal. Pretty sure it was Proline anyways. ;)
