      neither.

      Pick up a MacDev Matchstick or a Kaner for about the same price.

          i have had 3 freaks and hated them all

          pipe shoots fine but is loud.

          custom products is a great barrel kit.

            To me Freak, more choices in bore size - though to tell you the truth my freak normally sits unused and I just use my AA barrel.

            If you do go freak I suggest getting a stainless one. Get one from somewhere you can return it though. There was a bad batch of stainless freak kits where the bore sizes were mislabeled.

              I run a pipe with my angel, and ii have some INTRESTING complains, I got the back stuck to the front, its been officailly label "****ed" by the proshop. And all my little stickers that say like .68~ have begun to fall off. I like it other than that, it was great b4 this happened. It is very very loud, but also very very lightweight, i would guyss the freak would weight twice as much

                Why? I've got a freak on my sex-e, and it's not heavy at all. And that's even with a stainless steel back, which you don't need.

                    I'm at school.

                    3-piece construction? Huh? The only 3rd piece I could conceive you're talking about is the insert, but that weight is negligable.

                      good point i guess, and yes the 3rd piece was refering to the insert. I have a better idea... get a PCV pipe melt it to ur stock barrle drill boring in... Thne with the saved 138.20 dollars go buy Dance Dance Revolution with an upgraded mat

                      wooooooooooooo

                        Go with a pipe. I have had mine for over a year and I haven't bent a tip. The thing cleans out any breaks like it was it's job.. The thing rocks. You can get them on the web for under $150 if you look. IF you are really concerned about the tip, Evil has an 'Ultra Tip' that has more meat on them.

                          Why Those Two?

                          The stainless Freak is a good barrel but there are so many more that are VERY much worth looking in to, such as the Powerlyte Scepter (gotta love those tapered, locking sleeves and fronts), J&J's Edge, or the new Lapco barrels. I've also got a Kaner around here somewhere that shoots freakin' darts too. Don't automatically knock out more than half your options!

                            I likke the look of the pipe, but am a bit wary of the tip. I was always afraid to touch the tip on anything :P
                            But they do have the thicker tip available.

                            Freak kit is good if you have multiple markers of different types of barrel threads.
                            But I really dislike the insert system. (personal pref) I'd rather have solid backs.
