      It is as good as any other well made barrel with the right paint. Problem is getting the right paint for it. Like always. For that matter even piece of water pipe will shoot fairly well with the right paint.


      AGD, where we are so good we can do it with only ONE tube!

        I had one that came with my mag years ago. It shot quite well. The bore size is large by today's average paint size. I think my barrel was about .693 inside diameter. It used to shoot the old RPS very accurately. So accurately that I didn't really consider paying extra for barrel upgrades until the newer smaller bore paint came out. Now, paint like diablo and ZAP and even the RPS are smaller bore and the crown point is no longer the accurate shooter that it was.

        The crown point didn't seem to do anything. It just looked cool. The barrel performed just the same when the crown was chopped off. The sound was unique. It had a slight ping when the gun fired. If you used a silencer, as was popular years ago in big games, you only heard a gentle ping every time the gun was fired. It was awesome.

        Todays barrels matched to paint are a much better choice to spend your money than a crown point. If owning a piece of history is your wish then get a crown point. They're cheap enough.

        Enjoy.
        Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
