i remember seeing in the store and it looked pretty cheap quality but watever

why would Prairie be advertising it?

Oh, and Brett, I'd get out the duster, I expect your Viking to get the majority of your attention for a while.

Yeh I was really lucky and got in on the Immortal bulk order even though the time frame to get in on it was up.

For the price he quoted me I just couldnt pass it up!

I don't support crappy products. Period...

the hammerhead needs to be tested to believe (and can be fairly easily...talk to hammerhead to work out a deal)

prairie, i didnt say you were supporting a crappy product, i said you were allowing your self to be sucepted to hype. there is no way that this barrel, can shoot better than any other barrel in its class. Is the bore smoothe? is it consistent? thats all that really matters! ball spinning does nothing

a large area to allow the ball to become a sphere again, well dye and smartparts have ben doing that for ages, its called a step bore barrel

ITs a tube, and i did speak to hammer head, ast Riot[Z-Grip] he was there with me, and he agrees, they are using old 1996 BS to sell products.

the man even told me my mag was nice, because on a dyno mags make a nice wavey pattern, and not a spikey pattern, he even illustrated with his fingers how mags compared to other guns.

HE alsos aid they did extensive testing ont heir barrels, well id believe that, if he didnt make his barrel with a crap load of bs behind it

Who ever said I bought into hype?

Have you TESTED this barrel, actually comparing it to other barrels in its class as you say?

I have...he allowed me to do an entire test on it, versus a freak, scepter, and edge...and in my preference, not even having to do with the spiel I love this barrel...not based on any testing on spin (all of what you said btw, is false, and is not what hammerhead says about spin.)

Barrels are personal preference, but you cannot knock a barrel until you have actually tried it (unless of course it's the ramrod.)

Prairie-yea i would like test it out...
to see if its actually really that great...
so how would i go about it?
lmk

[Jon/xpm]

Their in the local shops around here and dont get much hype or talk and dont looks to be really an awesome barrel but you never kno intill you try it ...
my fault for bashing before trying but...
it still looks cheap quality for high dollared prices(might be wrong on the price thou)
is it 250 for a front 3 backs?
lmk

Awesome gun Prairie, great choice of color and sticker (). Anyway, I still have that Viking vid you posted a while back on PBN, still watch it every once and a while when I'm craving a Viking too. If everything works out, I should have my first Viking by the end of next month though.

[Prairie]

That's awesome, if youre looking to buy new i'd check out the dark viking (www.yeppers-llc.com)

good luck!

I was actually going to buy a red or blue unmilled Viking from Select Paintball. I just have this hangup about the matte black, doesn't swing well with me for some reason. Yeah I know, performance comes first, but in the end I'll pay a few extra bucks to make it look prettier. The Dark Viking is an excellent deal if you don't mind the matte black though.

when i get another viking again, it'll be a feather light, but i gotta have fun with my ULE mag for a while first

[Pballwizz]

I think a Viking is going to be my next gun, I think there suprisingly cheap for waht u get, there like angels, but better, LOL

"break in period"... enough said.

The new solenoids shortened the break in period significantly, and if you play regularly with a gun that fast it shouldn't be too long anyway.
