Should my $45 Sp barrel perform better then my $110. Dye?

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

alright.. i was thinking, if paint to barrel match was the key, why doesnt every one use there stock barrel and find a paint that works well instead of buying a 110 dolar barrel and looking for a paint to fit that!? i dont understand. i wouldnt want $110 of quietness...

the paint berrel match thing is true but the stock berrel isnt honed as well as after market berrels.

i got a dye ultrlight for a pretty good deal off of this kid i know. shoots diablo blaze great. i was going to buy it off of him then sell it, but i shot it and it's awesome. glad i stuck with it.

freak is garbage. i never have had more barrel breaks than in my freak. very dissatisfied.

i think thats kindof strange b/c i have a progressive barrel and it sucks

i have a 16" boomy and have never had one problem with it in my life. very good barrel and really accurate in my opinion. i also have a 12" jacko which i now use cause i like the looks of the jacko on the mag. the jacko shoots like a dream so im confused on which to use. but i love both of my barrels.

I'll let ya know what Im more happy with after this weekend of paintballing...so far im not impressed by the Boomstick. Maybe I should have gotten the 16" instead of the 12". If worst come to worst, there always is the SP AA, those are da bomb!

JT vs DYE

Well,

I have no doubt to Hemlocks situation. My DYE Boomy shoot s great with fresh paint. Humidity here in Hawaii here sux cause it really swells paint.

What I noticed with the DYE barrels are that they seem a little tighter than supposed to be. Paint from my 690 JT has a hard time going theough my standard 688 Boomy.

I noticed when I first usd the JT was that my Mag was shooting 280 with Slightly old Marbs. They had decent consistency, but seemed to have a slight hook at the end. The JT 690 barrel had a drop of about 15 fps, but noticed there was no hooking whatsoever. My games are a little better other than the fact that I have to top off my tank a little earlier in the day.

Your Boomy would shoot darts if the paint was match perfectly. Read Tom Kayes barrel matching in the Tech articles. Very very informative.

I still have the Boomy along with my partial barrel set.

Guess which one I use when I play...?

im curently in the process of selling my 12" AA because i no longer needed it after i got my boomy. Just never saw the performance i did with my boomy. i still have to try the jacko out at a field. but i have shot it in my backyard and i was pleased.
