short barrel for a mag

[michbich]

I know it was mentioned earlier..the stock minimag barrel should be short enough. If not, hacksaw (or milling for the fancy shmansy) to it will do the trick since it's just Al (there is probably a clear coat, i don't know).

thanks guys, it came with the stock crown barrel and dye big shoot 14", i'll probably just run with the crown barrel, don't really want to cut anything up

I have a used minimag barrel for $12 shipped. PM me if interested.

Just beat me to it...Armson still has those barrels in stock.

Also, call around local paintball stores. A lot of them have twist lock barrels just sitting there gathering dust. Within the last year or two I've bought a Dye Boomstick (you can get fronts for those any length), Brass 8", and a Freak twist lock back from a local store.

I've never found twist lock barrels to be that hard to find. Try a store called PW Paintball ( www.pwpaintball.com ) Paul is a great guy and has been around since at least 1995. He's got a ton of stuff just sitting in the back room. The last time I was in there I saw a couple of short brass twist locks that he was putting together for a sale on M Carter Brown.

One thing I should say about brass barrels if you run across any is that they make the nicest pinging sound when you fire...a little like the crown point barrels, but sound more like brass shells being ejected from a gun.

Aww, well it doesn't have a hole big enough anyway.

Instead of a hack saw, use a pipe cutter.

You can get them at any auto-store for like $10. They look and function like c-clamps, only instead of jaws there are cutting wheels.
Clamp it down, 2 full rotations (of the whole cutter around the pip/barrel), tighten, 2 full rotations, and repeat until the barrel falls in 2 pieces. Then a little sand-paper to the muzzle to dull it and you are done! No hack-sawing, no dealing with filings, no cutting yourself, no filing; just clamp, twist, light sand, and all shoot.

I was expeirmenting with my stock 98 barrel, they aren't even honed and the bore is huge so I figured if there is abarrel I don't want it's that one. I took the muzzle-brake off the front no problem.
Maybe if you do the same and just take the crown off the stock 'mag barrel it should look and shoot fine.
