but i was hoping that somebody could help me ID a barrel without a pic.
i'm looking for info on a barrel, (most likely a two piece) where porting is replaced by spiral cut grooves running the length of the area where porting would normally be.
much like a longer version of the small spiral freak tips i've seen lately.
can anyone help??
i am looking to buy one, but it woiuld help to thow what to ask for! :)

Are you talking about a Hammerhead? I'm pretty sure those have rifling on the second half or something.

I know what you're talking about but... Unfortunately... I don't know what it's called either. Sorry.

neh, he is talkin about a much older barrel, I think it was called a Nightstik or something like that It was literally cut all the way through the barrel. ( there is a 32 degree barrel called th eNightstik, but this one pre-dated that by several years )
Not sure why you are looking for one.... but there is a reason they dont make them anymore.

think of it like somebody connected all of the ports on a teardrop. instead of holes in a spiral shape, it's a solid groove all the way through.
styg, i'm sure they're terrible. but it would look great on one of my next projects.

correct that exactly what he is talking about - I believe they only cam ein black
A friend of mine had one given to him from a Joes Army Navy surplus for his F-1 Illustrator.
It was so bad he took it off in the middle of the game and chucked it into the swamp.
It's killing me cuz I cant rememebr the exact name of the barrel, and I can see it in my mind so perfectly - Have you tried MCB? The guys over there would deffinately know the name of it.
