    barrel question

    i'm thinknig about getting some sort of a kit so that i can improve my accuracy.

    should i get the dye ultralite backs/fronts
    available sizes: .684 .688 and .692

    the freak kit
    available sizes: .684 .687 .689 .691 .693 .695

    or 4 stiffi barrels

    available sizes: .687 .689 .691 .695

    ----

    i want the ultralite back/fronts, but the available sizes aren't as widespread. is that a huge deal? are those 3 sizes good enough or do the in between sizes really matter?


    minimag:
    -dye 14" ss barrel
    -dye 12" ultralite
    -expansion chamber (i like it as a foregrip)
    -steel braided hoses
    -45/3000 preset pure energy
    -eclipse mini drop
    -vl revvy w/ xboard
    -check-it on/off unimount
    -----future upgrades-------
    -xvalve
    -intelliframe
    -ule frame black


    spyder xtra (for friends to use):
    -sp 14" teardrop

              the ultralite is a very good barrel and with the different backs you cant go wrong and you should only need to use .688 and .692 and i dont care what pepole say but the freak is a good system i hate smart parts and all they stand for but i do love the freak sorry i know i should be ashamed and never play again but i have had a few barrels and used a few more and the freak is very good why not get an evil pipe they are the nuts

                    Many people like the CP kit. I think Havoc Online has one and he loves his last I heard. And RobAGD used to love em too and sells them and swears by them.

                    I use a Scepter and love that. Nice system for certain.

                    And I got one of these Edge kits too and love it as well. Similar to the CP in the way it works. For just over 100 bucks for 4 sized backs, tip and case thats a good deal and seems to be well made and shoot well for that money.

                    So take your pick!

                        From my experience, most paints fall within like 3, maybe 4 barrel sizes. I'd say go with the scepter. I have yet to hear a bad word about them.

                            aren't cp kits slightly expensive? the full one is what, in the 300$ range?
