So you think that AKA would have stoped making their E-markers even if SP wasn't sueing them? Interesting.

Back on topic...I like the freak because you only have to buy one new piece if you change markers.

I like my SM-1 kit more in general but the insert/sleeve/control bore threads into the gun so if you change and need different threads you basicly have to buy a whole new kit.

Scepter kit. When it comes to quality & finish, I think it's tops over just about all of them.

I used a Freak for almost two years and thought it shot really nice, and always had the right fit for my paint. That said, I just can't see buying anything from a company with such lousy ethics...

The Kaner is also a really great barrel system, nice and light, great milling and anno to it, comes in a lot of colors, and at least as accurate as the Freak. And comes at a good price. I used a Kaner with my Orracle for a long while as well.

I currently shoot the Evil Pipe and like it quite a lot; it shares a lot of the best qualities of the Kaner.

I don't think you could wrong with any of them, except giving money to Smart Parts, that would suck.

i used a freak on my rt pro for a while and i loved it..
i voted freak because of that.
the kaner system is nice.

im not into the kaner kit from wgp just doesnt strike my fancy. as far as all goes ive always liked sp's barrels but am iffy on how well they would hone an insert compared to a solid back. that is the real debate that i missed seeing, so what do you think is the freaks inserts honed just as well or close to the Pipes or kaners backs????

also i baby my gun and that includes the barrel so durability is really only a minor consideration so lets stay focused on accuracy and quality. thank you you all for post your opinions

I have an older style SP AA barrel on my tippmann 98 - i haven't broken a ball in at least 5 cases of paint. As for the freak kit, ive only heard good things at my local field.

That being said, i don't really like the idea of inserts and currently don't want to give SP any money. I would never buy one of their guns but at the right price, i would consider buying one of thier barrels.

I recently had the chance to try out a friends pipe kit and instantly fell in love. It fixed my paint breaking issues on my new RT Custom with some really crummy pmi premium paint. many people use pipes at my field and so far no complaints about bent tips or anything.

I haven't used any other kits so... yeah
Your best bet is to try out other player's kits on your gun if you can and just see what works for you.

as for me, a 12" red-black pipe is next on my list
hope this helps.
