    Looking for a new barrel system (need honest response)

    Alrigth I just got my new xmag in and am looking for a barrel system for it. I already have a freak, but I don't like the look on it on the gun (just isn't as sexy looking, goda keep it sexy). And have only been so-so impressed with the accuracy of it.

    So what i'm asking for is honest feedback on all the other kits out there. I was thinking of getting a Pipe, but recently people that i know that are shooting them said that they are crap. They tell me to get a CP which cp are accurate , but feel ceap to me.

    I was hoping to get a full black barrel to match the gun. The only kits that i know of that offer this are the freak, pipe, empire, and thats all.

    Any input would help greatly

    thanks

          I've owned the following kits:
          CP Pro Kit
          Freak
          Powelyte Scepter

          Of those I prefer the Scepter, both of the ones I've had shot great. The CP shot well, and I'm 50/50 on freaks(one shot as advertised, the other was substandard)

          I perfer the inserts of the Scepter to the ones on the freak, and I personall think the barrel looks better as well. And yes it is available in Black/Black -- I just happen to have one

            I've heard good things about sceptors, the black to silver would look nice on an all black gun...

              cp kits look dead sexy on xmags And i think a SS freak would come second.

                I bought one of these kits and it was not well made. I looked down my SS JJ back and the edge back and could see a clear difference. The plating or whatever they used was pretty cheap too.

                  Smoke the Pipe. Hard part is finding some.

                  The Pipe pWn3s you

                  *not really Its a pretty good barrel system IMO*

                  If not that, and if you have about $400. You can order from DYE a set of Ultralite barrels(like in the ole days of Boomstick collections), think 4 ultralites with 4 different backs(.683, .685, .687, .689) and fronts(12, 14, 16, 18) for all occasions, Ultralites are one of the best shooting barrels out there not to mention one of the biggest money holes in your pocket

                      Not trying to hijack the thread, but has anyone heard anything about the Kaner kits from WGP?

                          Actually I have one( yes I own a Autococker ). The fit and finish on the Kaner is VERY NICE. It also looks quite good on the ULE body on my RTP. Also both black and chrome finish for the control bores are avalible. The only problem is getting one. I had to order mine directly from WGP. Price was a bit less then a PIPE.
                          Just remember your moms credit card can't but you talent.
