    I highly reccomend the J&J Edge kit. It is very good looking, and insanely cheap (check it out @ http://www.paintballdiscounters.com ) It comes with 4 backs and honestly thats all I need and probally I'll ever need. Its very nice.. its just one of those things you would have to try out..

      I've had a lot of em and all the barrels I ever had were good. Including the stock mag and Spyder barrels. I had AA All Americans, AA Tear Drops, AA Freaks, CP, Boomsticks, Armsons. All worked fine. I now have a Scepter Kit (5 bores) and a large bore CP (.693) and a Stock X Mag barrel (.688) that I alternate use on the X Mag and the RTP. And I have a 12 inch Boomy as well in the case (.688). So thats what I am using now. Those. I never had what I would call a Bad barrel. Just some fit my paint that particlar day better is all. Some where quiter and some where better to shoot through a mess with. They all shoot good when the paints not too tight.

        i switch between my 14" teardrop (deadly quiet) and stock minimag barrel (really small). they're both cool for different situations.

          I use LAPCOs.

          I have a LAPCO Bigshot (.689) and a LAPCO Autospirit (.685), both in 11.5" I believe.

          I'm looking into buying a 14" Armon Stealth. Looks good with the micromag (comes stock on it, but I bought used) and I need a 14" barrel.

          What do you guys think about the Armson Stealths? I already PMed cphilip about it :P Anyone else use it?

          What bores does it come in?

          Thanks.. LAPCO and CP have always been my favorite barrels. Cheap, successful, proven.

            I use an old school AA on my mag, and a Jacko and J&J Full tilt on my Angel. Other than those, I've had great success with Titanium Paintball's Longbow system, great craftsmanship, no problems with defective inserts (its all fronts/backs) and shoots very nice.

              I sold my Freak because it flat out STUNK. I have 16" Dye Boomstick and 10" Ultralite, 11.5" Lapco Bigshot & SS Autospirit, 13.5" Armson Stealth, 14" Smartparts AA (never use). The Boomstick is a regular fixture on my Mag.

              dcmander- I have had excellent luck using Armson Stealth, Shoots strait and is one of the quietest ones ( I use it when I play rec. in the woods).

I like how the tips screw on over the back piece, so the fit is much better than if it went on the other way around...

                  Same here! I have the whole Longbow set just waiting for my X-Mag to show up.

                        Freak Freak Freak Freak.....

                        Got to love the Freak. Easy to use, and shoots really nice. I haven't had any trouble with it....but the Pipe has come out, and I have heard nothing but good about that. So I might have to look into that. But right now as far as I'm concerned....Freak is the only way to go.

                          I have a Dye UL and it is by far the best I have used!!! I have used many different barrels and this is the best. The new style you can get different fronts and backs.

                            one piece...

                            I have always had better luck with one piece barrels. My DYE Aluminum shoots significantly better than my Boomstick. I also love the CP one piece barrels. I have .685 and .689 CP one pieces with cocker threads. Shoot darts with my Trix, Cocker and mag.

                            You just don't have any tolerance issues with a one piece barrel. I have sold my two-piece (boomsticks) and sleeve barrels (freak) which I just didn't feel were as consistent.

                              i recomend the barrel kit that comes stock on the wgp oracle. I think it is called the caybber kit if i am not mistaken. either way last time i was out many fell victim to me becuase of this barrel and the amazing player behind it.

                                I use...

                                Lapco. On my Minimag I use Lapco Bigshot and Autospirit. Why? They rock, and the two bore sizes work well for me. They are loud, but shoot very straight.

                                I also use Titanium Longbow barrels, currently have a full set. I am having a real good time with those barrels. They are light, and shoot straight, and come in 10".
