SLY Equipment/ Barrels

[NoLifeLeft]

ALWAYS CLEAN BARREL WITH PLUNGER TYPE SQUEEGEE. DO NOT USE CLOTH OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF SWAB.

hmmm.

[Steelrat]

hmmm.

Stiffi has the same warnings. The fibers apparently snags the cloth.

Wow, I guess the bore isn't nearly as smooth as most manufacturers would have us believe.

No, it's smooth as hell, but think of carbon fiber like glass.

The carbon fiber is woven, then holes are drilled to create the porting. When the fibers of a squeege like a battle swab are inserted into the barrel, they can get snagged in the porting.

makes perfect sense to me at least...

sire is one of my favorites, I'd get deadlywinds whisper barrel over this.

[rkjunior303]

my buddy trashed his stiffi by using a battle swab

[SpecialBlend2786]

here's something interesting:

The Sly barrels actually have two different layers of carbon grafite fibers. The inner layer is all uni-directional and the outer layer is woven. Not too sure if this would in practice make for an even smoother bore, but I guess it makes sense to an extent.

Does anyone know if Site or DW make thair barrels the same way?

[Rudz]

wtf??

that site makes clothes..i dont see any barrels??? wtf they cant use a red and black color scheme cuz another site has it??

Also consider, that like glass, the finish on the inside of the barrel, while smooth, can also pick-up scratches from debris that might be caught in the fibers of your battle swab.

Actually that makes much more sense than my explination

I was comparing their logo and clothing graphics, very similar. Maybe a coincidence, but probably a conspiracy

[Troen]

a barrel is a barrel. but the fact that ones lighter doesnt make it worth the price. I'm happy with my cp barrel for now, it keelhulls.

[tacq]

does any one have one of theis barrals might trade in my stiffi for it

[snoopay700]

Man i love this, a "tapered barrel so the balls don't bounce" but think about it, if they make it so the bore of the front is the same as the biggest back, then it'll still be larger than the other back so balls will still bobble. And also, the tapering still allows for bobbling, it's just a bunch of bull****. If you really care that much about bore size, then get 5 different barrels with different bore sizes that have one id down the entire barrel, that'll be your best bet for acuracy.

[PsychoBaller]

So does anyone have a set of these yet?

I'm really looking for some better reviews... or rather, alternative opinions, than the ones given on PBN.
