SP didn't patent blowbacks.

Just wanted to add a little about BOA barrels...

Yeah they are great and still own several...

But to correct WenULiVeUdiE They were made right here in the great state of Ohio... in Strasburg ... One of my good friends actually is the one who made most of there barrels in there later years.

They actually ran my local field, under the name Blackhawk Paintball...

yeah the SP suite was over spiral porting, but they also had troubles with an ATF raid as well over short lived barrel known as the "concelear" that looked similar to a silencer...

And here is something you might not know ... the owner Dale was an Automag tech, and was a big supporter... So it makes perfect sense where their stuff was top notch...

If you can get your hands on one of the BOA barrels they are like a Mag... Top notch, tough as a tank, and you won't be disapointed in the quality. NOTE: they are not ULE friendly ... they are heavy nickle plated brass not SS as often mistaken for...

I still pick up their barrels when I find them in the bargain bin. IIRC they were also the first people to do aftermarket barrels for mags.
