    barrel decisions....

    i am looking to get a new barrel. I am getting a micromag and will want a new barrel.
    I have about $50 to spend. I want it to be black or dust black. I play speedball and have a valve job so i can walk the trigger on my mag now.... practice helps alot... I would like something around 14 inches and shoots straight for about 70 feet or more... something good quality. i was looking at either the cp one piece barrel or the evil driver barrel. and i am not a big fan of barrel kits...


    and congradulate me... my girlfriend just broke up... i'll jump off a cliff now...

      Well if you would consider a used barrel I have a .690 14" boomstick. Let me know if you are interested.

        Some of the J&J Ceramics were done in dust black. They are excellent barrels, you can find them for ~$30 if you look.

          Head over to PBN, yes PBN, and pick up a use Ultralite. I love mine that I got for $30. I like 12 and 14 inch barrels the most, you don't really gain anything after 14 inches.

                      i use a 14" Smartparts Progressive barrel.. and for a good reason

                      its a one piece barrel and the porting on the progressive barrel is only along the last 4"... so before that you got 10" of smooth one piece barrel which, according to Tom in the tech articles, provides the best efficiency for mags

                          Congratulations, you now have more money and time for paintball!! Ahh, to be single again. The only problem with that, is I don't have the ability to tell the difference between 14 year old girls and 18 year old girls!

                          Anyway, I haven't had any issues with my 12" smartparts progressive on my minimag.
                          I went like this :shooting:
                          He went like this :tard: then like this :wow: then like this :cry:
                          Now he shoots a Mag too...

                            If you're not sure, take two so you'll be covered. I think 14+14=28, right?

                              Awww man, I was about to say I have a 12" Dye Excel for sale. Cheap too. Seriously though, I'd get a Ultralite or an All American. Also maybe a Lapco Big Shot.
