I think 888paintball.com has some JJ ceramic ones in their clearence section for the sl. If not there you can ask around at pumpplayers.com, or stockclasspaintball.com. Everyone there is really nice.

(EDIT)

The SL does not take any kind of threaded barrel. Its a friction fit, similar to the palmer blazer, which reminds me, palmer will make one for you if you ask. I'm not sure about price though.

I thought tippmann made them?

-edit- i just went to 888 and found out they were made by tippmann. i just thought they would use the same threads as most of the other guns made by tippmann.

Sl68 doesn't have a threaded barrel. At least, mine doesn't. :-)

However, Lapco is planning on releasing a limited number of Bigshot barrels in a month or so...might want to keep your eyes open for them.

For now, just polish up the stock barrel - it can be made to shoot pretty darn well.

I know this may sound a bit crazy... but it DOES work. I have one on my SL-68 II .... Go out and find what ever threaded barrel you want. Go over to your friendly grinding wheel and wack off the threads. Just try to make sure you don't let the OD on the barrel get too small. And be carefull to keep it round. (2nd one we did we actually chucked it up in a lathe and used a file to keep it round) And it is fine if you still have some of the threads on the barrel. They will be flattend out pertty much and the pressure fit of gun body when tighted down on them will hold them just fine. Yes I have done this when hanging out with my friend at BOA barrels, and it works nicely. We used a 12" Spyder barrel that had some cosmetic errors on the out side of it so he couldn't sell it full price so he gave it too me cheep, And well you can't see um under the pump arm. LOL Just an option, although maybe not the best one... and maybe a way to get a barrel for your Pump from another barrel you just had laying around and didn't have a need for or from a barrel you pick up used very cheeply.

www.countypaintball.com has a few barrels that fit... although I find it hard to fathom paying $90 for a smart parts barrel for a $80 gun. :) They're slip-fit barrels, not threaded.
