    well

    They should be better fits. As is my freak kit has numbers on the inserts but they are nowhere near close to reality. I fit to the insert, not to the number.

    Since stainless doesn't have to be annodized these should be more consistent and shoot just as good or better.

    Now if they'd drop their lawsuit I'd buy new inserts.

            This addresses one of the issues I had against buying a freak kit - durability. Now if tolerances are close...

            Oh wait, they still don't look or sound as cool as an Evil pipe kit

                  i was wondering that too. they look longer to my eye...plus the hype is that they "are as long or longer than any other inserts or barrel backs". i wouldnt doubt that they are longer just to make you have to buy a new back for them to fit...especially since the scepter has the longest inserts...after all if they are as long or longer than the competition they would have to be longer than the scepters inserts. smart parts wouldnt lie in their advertising! im still waiting to see that legendary closed bolt accuracy from the 03 shockers.

                      They look awesome. Bendability was the real issue with freak inserts, as mine all matched up with their written sizes fine. I believe the largest insert in these kits is a .697 or something and the smallest one no longer exists, btw.

                          If you'd ever seen a freak kit which obviously you haven't you'd realize how thin the inserts are. It's the difference between way less than an ounce and slightly more than way less than an ounce. Totally nominal difference in weight because of the small size.

                            I was talking about bore in my first post, looking back I can see how I worded it bad. I think they would be the same length as the others so they will fit backs that are out there now.
