I would go with the freak kit because you will get more than just two bore sizes. Just be careful switching them out.:D

Freak it will cost about the same and you will have many more options.

2 boomsticks, even better buy a used CP kit for the price of 1 boomstick. I bought mine with 3 backs and 1 front for 110 bucks. Freaks.... have issues. they are niec at first, but their inserts are flimsy, and their orings can pop out, and if u break a ball :eek: good luck cleaning later that day. Although i do admit if u have a good freak, they are NICE.

You might try a JJ Kit. It has different sized backs and the different lenghts for the front. I love my JJ 2 piece.

drop both and get a RAM rod!
nah just kiddin, I love the boom sticks, quality barrels but pretty pricy. Everyone seems to swear by the freak system, but i didn't find it that hot. (I was too lazy to switch out the inserts, let alone find the right bore size)
right...so....um...go with the Boomy's

No Freak! Freak is evil. The inserts at as limp as a... lets just say limp as a wet noodle for now... Get something else, I have a CP kit and its way neeto. Or get several other barrels. Several CP barrels maybe, they are way cheap. Maybe a Lapco Bigshot and Autospirit, .688 and .686, there you have it, a small and mid bore. Hoo ah!

if you use it right then you wont need to worry about them being "limp"... you do knowtice that it comes with a padded case?

Has anyone looked into the Psycho Ballistic Aradius w/ a twisting knob to adjust bore sizes?

The Aradus is having problems, Psycho Ballistics just made it a better version. I guess the first one would let a lot of gas out, and couldn't find a consistent velocity.

Hows about that Slayer SA barrel its self adjusting it adjusts with bearings and no need to twist unscrew or anything it does it itself... sounds nifty, any got any info?? Im thinking about the JJ Kit, and Where can i See a Custom Products Kit. I dont want a freak but i want dif bores, where can i buy a CP Kit?
