Suggestions on a barrel kit...

[member#10,261]

...for my omen.

Just wondering what you guys think is the "best" as far as "bang for my buck". I only have about $100 tops. I have used empire 4pc kits before, and they were nice...what do youze guyze think?

stick with the onepiece barrels...all i hear about kits are bad things, what can go wrong with a one piece? if i was to get a kit, i would get the longbow. but thats way over $100. but if ur set on a kit, i would go with the sceptor

If you go used you can find a 3 or 4 piece scepter, amazing barrel.


Or go one piece, CP makes good barrels

www.topchoicepaintball.com sceptre kit. The 3 bores are on sale right now for $115. IT IS WORTH IT!

You won't find one used. I have never seen somebody who was willing to part with thiers.

I did , its worth a shot, they come up once in a while

Hey man,

How are you liking the Omen? I'd recommend the MatchStik barrel kit from MacDev

[MicroMiniMe]

Don't forget the equation barrels. Switch or bizerk. Affordable and you get many choices.
They are loud is all.

dont leave out the JJ edge. I have set and love it!

They look sexy in black too!

[cphilip]

Yea... the J&J edge is a pretty good deal for 115 shipped.... Nice hard shell case with it and four bores and a choice of tip length. Shoots pretty darn good.

I have a Scepter I like pretty darn well too. A bit more money for the whole five bore kit but woth the extra. Adding the two other bores later will cost you a bit more down the line if you chose too. But you could be pretty satisfied with three. If thats price is true quoted above I would say grab it.

Added on edit: no, that link says 135... plus shipping. And for 170 Something you can get all five bores from them. Better recheck your link.

you gun whore.

I've owned the J&J Edge, SP Freak, and Empire kits... 2 outta 3 ain't bad, eh guys?

honestly, though. skip the Freak. Empire's are pretty nice, as you already know... J&J's are SERIOUSLY good shootin' barrels though. Lemme know what ya end up with.

I dunno, I like my freak kits. Shoot very well for me, and easily interchangeable with the different backs to my 3 different kinds of markers.

There are some pretty nice raw barrels on ebay. They look like the old dye aluminum barrels. They are $10 a piece and are pretty good quality. I bought 1 already. I am going to buy several, and hone them to different sizes and then send them to be anodized. This way you can match your paint to barrel but not have the problems with a 2 piece. They come in 10" and 12".

The Kaner kits look decent too if you have cocker threads. I have seen them sell for as low as $99 at paintballgateway.com. (on sale)
