St!ffi

I vote for the St!ffi given the limited choices. If you don't believe me, read the review of the barrel kit on ScenarioSource.com I just did for them. That oughtta give you more info.

I think hammerhead is all hype, i wasnt impressed when i had one briefly, i didnt see any real big advantage in grouping patterns vs a freak vs dye ultralite. However I am like the heck out of my sm1 Sanchez kit for my mag. So much so i may purchase one for the mag i built to be shipped to gruntbull for annodizing.

another well put together review of a barrel, i was lookin at the switch kit the only thing that bothered me is it only has 4-5 bore sizes like alot of other kits, the freak has 8 which seems like it offers a little more accurate sizing, but i dunno. keep the info comin guys

You have NOOOO idea how hard it was to let that kit go :) Luckily I picked up a RACE kit. Basically the same thing minus the hub section. Keep an eye out on Ebay, the sizers show up on there every once in a while


I got hooked on the SM-1 barrels a few years ago, and the only complaint I have ever had about them is they don't clean out too well after a break because of the small porting holes - solution to that was lvl 10, then I never broke a ball!

Styg, i been around in paintball a long time. That barrel and testing it against all the other barrels i have and friends this last month, has made me want to convert a few more of my guns to SM1

Yep, I have an SM1 for each marker I own. And the Orbium is really at the top of the Sanchez food chain, just takes a little getting used to that "basket porting" at the tip. REALLY quiet for an aluminum barrel though.

Didnt they change the insert thread pattern for the Orbium? When I talked to Luis last time, he said they changed the threads so they were no longer reversed - Thats one of the features I actually always liked about the sanchez kits

made them a lot easier to take off my autocockers and pumps too

I am STILL on the lookout fo rone of the flame tipped barrels they made several years ago


sorry bout hi-jackign this thread :) - to keep it legit - I voted OTHER and choose the Sanchez Machine kits

OH NOES!!! - Just noticed the Sanchez Machine website is no longer up - think they are calling it quits?

i have a ripper cocker and have some trouble with the ends of the kits hitting the front of the body and they will not go in.... will the dw fibur fit that correctly? i've seen three threads this week alone so it must be good
