why did you buy a centerfeed bomer? you could have goten your barrle drilled for centerfeed, and if you wanted to use it on your other mag, you could have turned it a little harder back into the old twisty lock....


ALso, why did you pay for 3 boomsticks? you could have gotten some cp barrels, which imho are beter quality than the boomsticks, and you could have gotten 2 of each for that price.... there also about 40 dollars...



ME, i love the twist lock, i also live the breach of the marker, being in the barrel. Makes more sence to me, less space and things for the ball to travel on. Altho, now i shoot a sfl, so thats something i will need to get used to, but tom thought of thos, 3 -4 twists, and i can remove the breach, baisically the same idea as a twist lock!


also in your situation, for your money, you could have gotten a freak, and 3 separate backs for that money.... kinda sounds like you dug your own mistake here, and are trying to get out of it by blaming it on the twist lock



ALso, the olny reason tom has gone cocker threaded on the sluggo, is because people want it, he loves the twist lock

edited for spelling

Wow, read that to yourself and tell me you don't sound like a jerk. If he doesn't want CP's he doesnt have to buy CP's!

Twist Lock = Bad for YOU
Twist Lock = good for ME

Everyone has their own preference.

All iw as doing was stressing the fact, that cp actually has better control and quality then his dye boomers, and they are int aht under 50 dollar category. I get the impression of sheer flash and stupidity on jedi's side.


PLease, answer me this, why buy a freak, and 3 boomers(well over 500 dollars) when he has the freak and can get 2 other backs? (300 at most) or, to make up costs, if he bought the freak after the boomers, or vice versa, why didnt he sell one ot get the other?

you need to admit, that the ability to change backs was a huge selling factor on the freaks. IT sounds to me that jedi likes to spend money, and complain about it.

Twist lock is tried and true, im sorry you all had problems with them, but it was probabally user error. Twist lock is faster, easier, and in most peoples opinions, better than a threaded barrel.

So what if your back looks scratched from the twist lock in the chanel? or around the back? its a mag barrel, we all expect it. It isnt going to lower your resale either. also, you dont see that part! it si in the marker! ( i was just arguing that point now, so that you dont argue it in your response.)

Thanks for clearing that up MagMan.

I better not see any of the above people buy a ULE

Sorry to dig this thread up. I hope I dont see any of the above names in this thread, buying a Slug, or ULE body now that they're out. Cocker threads never tasted so good! You guys can keep your twist lock!!!

There are other reasons to buy a ULE body. However, I am not considering one BECAUSE it only takes cocker barrels.

BTW, you can make a twist lock barrel that will work with both power feed and center feed. A friend of mine "made" one. He used a dremel and a drill.

Just curious Jedi, are you going to get a ULE Body or are you going to keep the No-rise body/boomy combo...

I am not trying to flame, I was just curious to see what you've decided to do since the intial post was made and the sale of the cocker threaded ULE.

[WARPED1]

I might buy a purple one next month if they still have them.

No, I just bought a ULE body. I have several cocker barrels already....for my cocker. Two of which are Boomies. I'll probably end up selling the twist-lock no rise.

The whole basis of this forum is too see what people think.

well i tell you what i think! even though i dont have my mag anymore i loved teh twist lock. so nice and simple to take off barrel. i now own a timmy but i must say that even though availabilty of cocker threads is nice, i absolutely hate them. it takes forever to remove teh barrel. may just be lazy but cocker threads are pointlessly long.
oh any if you dont like paying for 3 diff boomies, then dont buy 3, buy1 ! noone said you NEEDED to have a boomy for all of your mags. you paying for 3 boomies is your choice, not the guns. lol Not tryin to flame or nuttin just felt like puttin in my .02.

Yes. Yes I did.

Well, I think the twist-lock works well enough. Besides, faking an 'out of paint' situation is much easier for me using the TL. It's all about the mind games.

I am a bit miffed about not all companies not making barrels in TL, but oh well. As I have herd it explained LOTS before, there is more in barel hype than anything now-a-days.

I have tried it myself, an $11 old ported no-name shorty barrel actually out performed my Total Freak, but then again I didn't know I had the shorty untill after I got the Freak. I would have gotten the Freak anyway just to to see for myself and have the bore matching ability.

Like all things, it's personal preference. I've learned what I can, weighed the options, and made my decision. What I have is what I want/need.
