    Whichever one you like and can afford.

    If you get the Freak get the 10" tip. Unless you like real long barrels.

      Freak. I don't know about you guys, but I sold my CP barrel for a reason; it couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. No, it wasn't user error or poorly matched paint, the barrel just sucked.... I now use a 12" J&J 2 peice and a 14" Smart Parts Big Daddy, and I can now hit stuff that I aim at. I won't touch another CP barrel....

          I think he is refering to the "CP System". It is quite nice and sort of matches paint like the Freak system. A bit pricey and fewer sizes. I agree the Freak is the best deal. But I am not knocking the CP system either.

                  I HAVE ONE

                  its by far the best system ive ever shot, its way better than a freak, ive shot both, the cp is also one a 2 piece system where as the freak is a 3 piece, so when you break, it can cause more damage in a freak, the cp kits are super nice, if u get it i promise you wont be disapointed
                  i have a pic of mine, ill show you

                  they just came out with a new set with 5 backs so i dont have the 2 more yet, but im gettin em, its totaly a great system

                    what damage? are you saying that when you break a ball you can potentially break the barrel or something? i would hope that you just mean you really make a mess, but really you don't. i've got a straight shot and a battle swab, use both and i'm ready to rock and roll.

                    but the problem with the cp compared to the freak is ecomical. really, if you end up breaking an insert on the freak they cost 22 bucks for a stainless steel replacement. however, when you break a back on the cp, it's a heck of a lot more.

                    another thing, should you choose to get a different gun, with the cp you'd have to get a whole new set of 5 backs. whereas with a freak you'd just have to replace the one.

                    and then, ofcourse, there's always the 5 to 8 size difference. hope this helps. good luck.

                      I have a freak and love it. For $180, i got a barrel system with 8 different bore sizes. It also looks great. If i want to put it on another gun, i pop a different back piece on, which i can pick up for $60 or so.

                      I looked into the CP barrel system very carefully before deciding on the freak. For $250+, you get 5 backs and 3 fronts.

                      -How many times do you switch the length of your barrel? Most people use the same size barrel all the time.

                      -What happens if somehow you scratch the inside of a back piece? you're screwed. with the freak you just spend $20 and get a new insert.

                      -8 bore sizes for $180 or 5 bores for $250+ (don't know exact price, but that's what the deluxe was when i researched it)?

                      Seems to me that the freak is a much better choice. They're both the same accuracy wise, dead on accurate when matched up with the right paint. There's no getting around the price and extra inserts of the freak. They're both backed by great companies who i've had great dealings with, but for the average player and almost all experienced players, the Freak is the way to go.

                        thanx

                        man.. this barrel stuff is hard..

                        the backs of the CP, look pretty short to control the ball through the barrel, but i havent shot one so i dont know. the freak is still on better ground than CP... but theres always room for change..

                            im pretty sure the cp backs are 5in. long so thats not very short
                            any way i would suggest the cp kit because you dont have to mess with the insterts but if you are getting a new gun with different threads then get the freak it will save you a lot of money
                            but either way youll get a top notch barrel

                              actaully for 250+ you get 3 backs and 4 fronts
                              thats really the only setback
                              the price

                              cause if you want the FULL set its over 300
                              which sucks

                              the backs are like 40 bucks a piece

                              anyways, its a great set and i love mine, i wouldnt ever trade it for a freak, but thats my opinion, your gonna find alot more people telling you to get a freak, just because everyone has them, but there arent as many people with the cp full kits because of the price, which is actually a good reason:)

                              but i love mine
