      I use one on my MAG, I used it to replace my SP All American. It is kinda loud, but I get about 100+shots on a 88/3000 tank compared to the AA and it cleans better after a barrel break than the AA did, plus it looks good and the price was good, $28 new on E-Bay

        Mine LOVES Marbs. I've got BigShots and AutoSpirits for all my different markers (currently at four sets of each!).

          I think Lapco's are some of the best barrels around. They are also fairly cheap got mine new for 35 dollars.

          I own a full Freak Kit and a Lapco Bigshot and Autospirit for my Minimag. I use the Bigshot and Autospirit BEFORE I use my Freak. The only reason I use the Freak is for the paint that doesn't match either of the other two barrels. And sometimes I'll use my Freak with TAG tip if I want a really short barrel.

          I thought the only length Lapco's came in for Mags was 11.5"

            I have both the Bigshot and Autospirit barrels, love them both. I tried other barrels and just didn't like them. Although I haven't tried a freak system but my brother says I'd probably ditch my Lapcos once I try his Freak. But I'm more than happy with my Lapcos.

              I have seem most shops selling them as 12", very few list them as 11.5" even though they are, It's probaly just easyer and some people still think that longer barrels are more acurate, so a newb will by a 12" before a 11.5"

                they are listed as 11.5"..but most refer to them as 12".

                Hes prolly refering to the part of the barrel that sticks out past teh body...about 10".

                Possibly, hes speaking of a RARE item, the 9' mag lapco...i think that was before they were called "Bigshots" though...if you have one of those, thats a REAL RARE item....some people will pay good money for one

                  ok guys i'm not a newb haha. i know its 11.5 but i just call it a 12 b/c thats pretty much what it is. most barrels come in the 10, 12, or 14, but then ya got some companies liek lapco or some pmi barrels that are the half. i've done my research and i think thats the best barrel for the mag, and i think its hte right length according to Tom Kaye's article on the barrel length and pressure and all taht. thanks alot thoough for all the input its been a huge help
