what types of paint do you use, I used to use proball on mine and had very little problems.

I am not saying I am having problems I just find it odd that the balls drop right through the barrel
I use proball, 32 degree Team colors, marblizers and brass eagle yuk!
My barrel is the older style with a bird cage flash suppressor on it
Thanks

Yes I'm aware of what barrel it is as My friend has the newer style which I think sux! its to hard to find paint to match it as its smaller than the origional. Yours has a standard muzzle break with the armson inbedded in the tip around the muzzle break and made in south africa i believe, havent used one in approx. 5 years, its a lil shady. Some even had armson anno'd in white letters down the barrel, plus there were two versions second series was ribbed, first was standard/smooth. But the one I had, I used Proball, RPS, and Zap.

They have renamed their standard barrel as the Pro Series. It is listed on most charts as LARGE Bore... Mine is actually fairly tight compared to some of my other barrels. Of course, my stealth is even tighter than that.

Are you saying that when you tested it, it fell threw the barrel or when you were using it, the balls fell out of it? That would be your nubbin...

when it is on the gun it works fine
It is when I unscrew the barrel and drop a ball in the breach of the barrel. Then it drops straight through with no resistance. My previous post listed the balls I use
I know brasss Eagle are junk and marblizer are smallbore
what are you using??
