      BIG SHOT

      small, loud, cheap, medium bore.
      Try running marbs, BIG BALL, and ProBall through it.



      P.S., sell your 2 barrels, and buy a Freak Kit.
      lookin fer IR3 or Xtreme (C&C)

      black RT Mag for sale. Great condition. Stock barrel, sanded bolt, I-frame, blade trigger. Extra parts, bolt spring, internals o-rings, extra hardline, nubbins, hardline. it doesnt break balls except on ppl. asking $450.

          I like the RT stock barrel on my E-mag. Not only does it cast the right image, it performs very good, for me at least.

            I have a 10 inch Dye stainless. It is the most accurate barrel i have ever shot and it looks nice. Its heavy but i needed a heavy barrel to ballance out my gun. Its not too loud. Med bore. Also check out Custom Products they are great too.

            I also have a 16 inch AA(med-large) which is ok and a Lapco Autospirit(small bore) which i havent shot yet and my stock minibarrel(large) which is awsome with huge paint.

                I really like Palmer Pursuit Shop barrel. It matches with our local made paint and RP Marb. BTW , if I vote for the poll , All Americans is the best all round

                  no barrel is anymore accurate than any other barrel. What really makes the difference in accuracy is the paint to barrel size match. Go for a Freak, they come with 8 different bore inserts.

                    like FeelTheRT says, accuracy is all about paint-to-barrel fit. And only one barrel always fits all paint...

                    Now, the other way you could go is to buy three different barrels tat you like in different bore sizes, but you would be spending as much as a freak and the freak comes with 8 different sized inserts. It really is a great value in the long run.

                    Also, you can't really say "I shoot XXXX paint and it's always .689 diameter..." because even if you shoot the same case of paint, the balls can change in size throughout the day due to temperature, humidity, etc.

                    I will also add that of the barrels that you have listed, the J&J Ceramic is the best barrel for the money (IMO). It's cheap, very light and nicely honed.

                      Definatly the Freak. Also, if you happen to change 'guns in the future (which would NEVER happen...right?) you can just by a new back to the two-piece Freak, keep the inserts and you've got yourself a new barrel!

                      Although, I see more RT's with the stock RT barrel than anything else, but they all agreed that if forced to upgrade, they'd get a Freak above anything else.

                          The one that makes your paint shoot the straitest and furthest, lol but seriously I like my SP tear drop.

                            funny, you left out the most popular barrel on the net, Lapco. to be honest, i have seen some really cheap barrels shoot the lights out, and i have seen some high priced "money" barrels that couldn't hit the water if you dropped it in the ocean.

                            if you find a barrel that you like and has more than enough accuracy for you and your paint, then good for you. me personally, i love my Lapcos.
