Best Barrel?

[surfer349]

hey again,
i know there are other palces where it might say this, but i have A REALLY SLOW comp, so i am wondering: What is the best barrel (brand name and type) that is between 10'' and 14''?

Match paint to barrel

Freak (Diff bore size inserts to match feild paint)

Armson ( Internal rifled )

the best barrel is the barrel that matches the paint you use. Since people tend to buy different brand paint alot, SP made a barrel called teh Freak where you can change the ID to make it match your paint.

as far as length goes.. most people prefer 14" because it's easier to aim by looking down teh barrel. Also if you play heavy tournaments, most likely you will find the longer barrels easier to play because on supair type bunkers, you can easily sink your barrel into the bunker and sort of push it aside. I'm not sure if you know what i'm talking about so you really have to try it to believe it. Also many tournaments have hyperball fields. Hyperball bunkers are big black tubes. Longer barrels for hyperball isn't a problem either. There are groves in the bunker were you can rest your barrel into.

paint is not an issue to me, i can get any paint, i just need to know what is a good barrel

Smart parts progressive or teardrop. 12in. Best results.

NOT A PROGRESSIVE!!!!!!( Hated mine, broke every single ball...) a tear drop ( love mine) or allamerican (Friend Loves his)... also J&J barrles are suposed to be good..

what do u meen best? are you looking for gas efficiency?

I've always been partial to Lapco barrels. They're cheap at $50 for aluminum ones, and ok at $70 for stainless steel ones, efficient with a small amount of porting, the perfect length at 11", and shoot great with most types of paint.

Smaller bore, get an Autospirit, larger, get a Bigshot. They look cool, and perform great for a really decent price. The aluminum ones are also really light.

Definitely go with the DYE boomsticks. They are so incredibly quiet and accurate. Haven't used one on my mag yet, it hasn't arrived yet. But on my old gun (Piranha) it helped soooo much. It was the most accurate out of all my friends, by far the quietest, and shoots through breaks relatively well, unlike the Smart Parts. (The littlest amount of paint in them will screw over your accuracy.)
