Best Barrel Kit

[st6212]

Here's one I rarely see mentioned.....Lapco's Snapshot.

I just ordered a kit a few days ago. Can't wait.

I just like Lapco's quality and...well...it's more pricey than others, so not as many people have them. Gotta have something different, I do.

I agree with others here and feel the Lapco Snapshots and Redz kit are great systems. I shoot Lapcos on my Ion and the Redz kit on my Mag... both are great kits with awesome quality.

Another barrel to think about are the Powerlyte Scepter barrels. They are a spin off of the Freak system as they use inserts but they are held in place with a compression type fitting instead of the two o-rings like the Freak uses.

Personally... I would go with the Redz or Lapco as the quality is better. I'm not a fan of the inserts.

I have yet to see any real testing done to prove any improvement in accuracy of a barrel kit over a simple honed tube. Let alone, efficiency.

Anecdotes need not apply.

The main point of a kit is so that you have a proper paint to bore match. If you play with one type of paint constantly, this can be achieved with one barrel. I play at different fields that have different paint so the variety of a kit makes a difference for me. When I first started out playing I had a spyder with a .689 progressive barrel. Whenever I played at a field with small bore paint I had accuracy issues at a distance. I got an empire kit and was able to match the paint and my accuracy got a lot better at long range. Efficiency wasn't much better, but I hit where I wanted to quite a bit more often. I now have a 2k5 CP Pro kit for my mag and I love it. I can change the backs to match the paint and the fronts to match the type of game I'm playing. 10" for speed, 14" for woodsball.

Whats a good barrel kit. I really like my J&J ceramic, but are their kits any good. How about Redz or the White Wolf Airsmithing ones that take freak inserts. Any advice appreciated.

Wow, I'm surprised you found those WWA barrels! They are seriously awesome, I just got one

Poison Arrow Barrel Kit

Got mine and im astounded with the accuracy of this barrel system....it has inserts but they are very different from freak inserts they are longer and tube like, but if you can get the right bore to paint match this kit is insanely accurate

just my 0.02$

*I've run the same J&J Edge kit, first on my cocker then my mag for over three years and have no complaints about it at all.

If you're shooting a cocker threaded gun, WGP Kaner kits are great.

I like WWA barrels a lot. It's hard to go wrong with them.

Sanchez Machine SM-1. I love it, though not many people have them. I also picked up an ACI Phat system off of ebay. Six backs, three fronts. I've only played with it a few times, so far I still like the SM-1 more.
