    Insanely Cheap Boomsticks

    For those of you who still use mag thread barrels there is a deal you cant pass up
    on pbgear.com they are sellin mag thread barrels for $12 a piece, albeit the mag thread makes the hole face straight upwards (apparently pointless) you will need to pay a shop about $15 to fix the threading to fit whichever side yours faces. but still thats a $27 boomstick
    i just bought one and damn i'm happy

        is this a glued boomstick, or can you unscrew the back from the front

          they're threaded boomsticks, not glued, and i live in washington and work through the paintball store
          all they do is goober in some metal to make the thread shorter on the left right spin to where i needed it (hopper left).
          you cant twist the barrel as far to lock it in place but i dont really see the bad part in it cuz the barrel stays on just the same

              just take out the twist lock. if you have the barrel o rings the barrel wont move around.

                  sweet, threaded boomstick for 12.99, if worse comes to worst, i can just take the 12 inch front and put it on my ultralite back and have a 10 inch and 12 inch to choose from, but im definitely going to get the boomstick back to work somehow, and i orderered the 12 inch dye excel for 7.99, an automag double trigger to put in an old frame i have sitting around for 9.99, and a paintballgear.com 68ci tank cover for 2 bucks, you cant beat it!

                  and btw, does anyone know where i can find a centerfeed twistlock body?

                        what do you mean?? i have a hopper left body, is there any way besides changing the threading?

                          How are these center feed only? I checked on Dye's website and other online stores and not a single mention of a center feed only boomstick .

                            manufacturing error on the center feed boomsticks i think
                            center feed was made in small quantity on bodies
                            they probably made too many of em and you cant exactly fix the threads without remachining it or goobering in the threads
