If you compare the manufacturing processes involved, Dye stands alone in the quality department hands down.

Dont forget Smart Parts :D . They hone their barrels super smooth and within very tight tolerances.

For the price the J&J Ceramic is the best. ($35 @ www.firstcallpaintball.com)

DYE is the best, but you shouldn't have listed the Boomy like it was made by a seperate manufacturer. Smart Parts barrels are just as good, but they don't look as cool.:D

Dye barrels may look cool! But, looking cool doesn't get the job done! Smart Parts barrels have always performed better for me! I owned a J&J Ceramic for about 10 minutes! Need I say anymore! The 14" Stainless All American was my favorite, but stainless barrels are heavey!

I love my 14" AA, its better than the Ceramic(my dad has two), better than OTP, better than anything!
(of course, I shoot a Piranha, but a mag is coming soon!)

I guess that since BOA isn't all that popular, not many people know about it.

For anyone who doesn't know, BOA is Barrels of America, and they are pretty good.

out of the barrels listed above i would only want the freak kit. no need to ever buy a new barrel once you own the freak.

One vote for whoever actually makes the RT Pro barrels for AGD. They are very very nice barrels!

Colin of Lapco Paintball makes the best, most accurate barrels on the planet. thats just my opinion. ive shot a boomie, freak, aa and would never go back from the Lapcos

I have had lots of smart parts barrels, and dye barrels, and i like the smart parts barrels the most, they're lighter, quiet, just as or more accurate, and cheaper. Dye barrels are pretty nice, but i just like smart parts.

The J&J Ceramic is a great choice for the price, and it shots small bored paint very well. Dye stainless are great for accuracy but the weight is really heavy. IF you have the money, the best investment for accuracy, quality, and all around great perfomance is the Smart Parts Freak.
