    Smart Parts also over-ports their barrels.

      8-10 inchs is the optimum for the unported lenght.

        When DYE first started making barrels the only had the muzzle brake. I remember seeing a number of both stainless and aluminum ones with just the porting in the muzzle brake. But at that time Smart Parts was king and they obviously have a mile of porting I think DYE went that route so their barrel would be just as quiet.
        Personally, I am really liking my J&J ceramic, 14 inches and 4 inches of porting. Thats whats on my dark angel, My mag still has an SP AA on it. It isn't very efficient, but I rarely use it and the splash anno matches the rest of the gun.

          Ok I have to get together with the guys and make a sound file of the lizard blaster. That thing sounds like a cannon. The owners of the indoor field we play at won't let us use it because the players can't hear the refs. What do ya say Strider think we can get a WAV file of it in action?

              Hehe, it's LOUD. Even outdoors you can hear a tremendous difference...

              Oh, and see if you can get a Mag with it for comparison? all by itself really doesn?t do much good.
              I'll see about it... I'll do a recording with all my markers..

              Any advice for recording?
