Ok with the slide it is only on the 12 and 14in fronts. It is so that if you chop or break a ball the shell will clear the barrel so that no futher breaks occur. The 10in front does not need this due to it't length. The reason the barrel cleans so well is that it is honed to such a high precision combined with the cleaning port on the longer fronts.

I don't know how the camera does it, but it blows the slider up and way out of proportion; it is not as large as it appears in the picture. I think it looks good on the barrel, and personally, it is "new and different", gets a lot of interested attention at the field. I will try to get some pics of it on guns in the future.
The whole function of the sliding mechanism is to allow for shedding of broken paint with no down-time lost to squgeeing. If a ball were to break in the barrel, simply pull the slider down, start shooting, and the broken paint will be expelled through the exposed ports. Then when all your broken paint has been expelled(3 to 4 shots in our tests), slide the slider back down, and back to normal. When you are forced to squeege, you are effectively "dead" and out of the game for valuble time. Our barrel system is the effective solution to this problem.

even with a squeegee the paint still is in there a little bit, except for the pull throughs, the swabs you gotta run once or twice through them, how can this just clean out the paint completely? maybe if it was correct ball and barrel size right?to me it just another little problem. BUT, i'm not saying it does't work. i'd try one if i could to see how well it does work.... thats if my level 10 starts chopping

The smoother the barrel, the easier it is to clean.
I put rainX in my barrels, which helps a ton. When I get a barrel break, I turn off the powerfeed (boo for ULE's with centerfeed
), shoot the last ball out, shoot 2-3 times to blow paint out of barrel and then put my hand over the end of the barrel and blow any remaining paint out of the holes in the barrel.
I can do this about as quick as you can pull the squeegie around to put it into the barrel.
If this new barrel is that smooth inside, it should be the same effect. We just need one in MAG Threads (hint, hint)Comment

Anyone else think those are BIG *** holes in the tip? Seems like it'd be a gas hog of a barrel. And what's so great about 6061 Aircraft Aluminum. Seems alot of barrels have em now. No big deal there. What I wanna see is a barrel kit for under 100. 200-250 Jesus. And shoots straighter? I guess it probably goes farther too huh? Does it work in conjunction with the magic elves in my mag?
