I've got a nice pump and nice pneumag, but I want to put together a nice single trigger mag.
Something clean & classic & indestructable (and cheap)... 12oz CO2, expansion chamber, decent barrel...

I'm looking for either an All American or Teardrop (silver or black), or a nice J&J Ceramic... about 12 inches. But I'm having trouble finding powerfeed twistlock barrels. Even on Ebay there's only a few barrels, and most are overly long leftover overstock or have gaudy flared ends & muzzlebrakes. Where can a guy find twistlock barrels?

I used to have a great classic mag... it's one gun I really regret selling and I'd like to recreate it:

They are $$$ but I believe Palmers makes a nice barrel.

I was going to link you to their barrels, but appears their site is down at the moment.

I just happen to have a gloss black SP Progressive barrel and an SP stainless barrel (not sure of the model) available.

I'd have to double check the lengths but I'm pretty sure they're both 12" or so.

I met Mike Quinn (maker and designer of the MQ valve) last year at Tunaball. He told me that the MQ-mag evolved into the Invert Mini :tard: :eek:

That makes a lot of sense, same basic idea.

I have a couple of expansion chambers, a PF emag body and gloss black twistlock All American ( i think) barrel) All of which I would love to sell. I even have a duckbill or two and could probably scrounge up some air fittings and SS lines if needed. Pm me if interested.

LMAO, information moves fast in the paintball world.

I've found 3 places to get decent twist-lock barrels-Palmers, who has their brass barrels and a selection of old-school goodness like Lapco Bigshots and J&J chomes, Custom Products, who still make their one-piece and two-piece barrels in twist-lock powerfeed (Confirmed with a guy there), and Lapco who still make stainless steel 12" Bigshots in twist-lock.

Additionally, AGD and Tunamart sell the OEM barrels. Tuna lists some Dye twistlocks too, but they're perpetually out of stock.

Sadly, the PPS barrels are expensive, the Lapco ones are only sold in .690 and the CP barrels cost $60 bucks for two to ship to Canada. :cry: (I might just bite the bullet and have an American friend forward me two).

Yeah, I'll just be buying two from that HUGE BST thread here on AO.
I hear good things about J&J barrels and I used to have an ACI zero gravity.
Maybe I'll get one of his SP barrels too... but I think 2 aftermarket barrels is enough for now.
All of this, of course, is contingent on my actually buying a twistlock mag in the next few days.

A buddy of mine invited me paintballing (in Ann Arbor, MI) and since I haven't played in more than a few years I realized I only have 2 paintball guns to take with me - a duckslide phantom and a pneumag that is disassembled and in unknown working order. So I figured as good a time as any to pick up a cheap reliable semi.

I have virtually 100's of twist lock barrels in all configurations. Spreading them out for pics is going to be fun....

I have a J+J Brass 11" with straight rifling with no porting that is my all time favorite barrel. It is the most accurate barrel I have ever used in all my time messing with mags. I will never sell it. :D
