I'd stick w/ the teardrop. The rifling doesn't effect accuracy, and it should have a smaller bore, the armsons I had did. The Pro series will also be quite a bit louder than your teardrop.:)

So you would rather have a loud barrel that is more likely to break balls, if your shooting med. bore paint now, than have your marker be mismatched?!:(

I broke more in my teardrop than I did in my armson pro...

Plus there aren't any holes to gunk up if a ball breaks. They are pretty easy to shoot clean.

I have an armson barrel for my mag and one for my illustrator. I bought them a long time ago (about 91 for the illustrator and 93 for the mag). They are the only barrels I use for those guns. I really like the barrels. I rarely break balls, except I had a problem with zap paint a few years ago. I usually shoot cheap paint for practice (severe that costs me $40 per case) and usually don't break any balls. I haven't had a problem with the better paint either. Could the rifling handle different sized paint better? Im not sure, but the barrels I have I really like and I don't plan on getting others.

I haven't shot the teardrop so I can't comment on that barrel. I won't tell you to take the trade, but I just wanted to tell you that for me the armson barrels shoot great.

They seem like fine barrels to me. I have one that came with my Micro E and it shoots just fine. The rifeling doesn't do anything realy but it doesn't seem to hurt anything either. I was thinking they were rather large to medium bores but I could be wrong...

Well i'd go with the trade (since i'm the one trading the barrel):) Also you can ask these guys with the armsons what kind of paint they use best. The paint that i used in it when i used it was cheap home paint from my local pb store.:)

Maybe it was just the VM68 and not the barrel, everyone else seems to love theirs!:confused: :(

Armson barrels rock.

I have four for my emag. :) One from each generation plus a tiny 8"'r. I wish they had multi-bore kits. :(

But yeh, the pro-series were LOUD. :) "Bark Bark Bark"
