SM1 or Odyssey?

hmmmm looks like the Sanchez Machine barrels to me


But did find it odd the control bore goes up larger than the diameter of the barrel tip????

oddly enough I&I sells the sanchez barrels for full MSRP price as well.... very confused

if you look closely, the link you gave it shows a 2 peice barrel, not the 3 peice like the SM1. the silver back peice is nothing more then a shroud.

and the sm-1 kit =$140, add on the 3 peice sleeve kit = $60 and 2 extra tips =? and you just got that for $150 not bad if you ask me!


now onto the differences of the 2 on the website

odyssy kit (notice the bore sizes are the barrel back. and the tip screws into the bore sizes)



sm-1 kit (bore screws into gun, and slides into barrel back, barrel back screws into barrel front)

this is the SM1

SM-1 same setup and pics the center section is just a centerring collar that holds the other 2 pieces together

duhhhhh

Oh I get it now, the silver sleave on the cheapy one serves no purpose other than looks and to spin and scratch up the abrrel underneath!!!

Why make the tip smaller then 2 of the sleeves and only bigger then one of the sleeves? That kind of defeats the purpose of the 2 bigger sleeves doesnt it?

[StygShore]

typo?

I kinda think that might be a typo? maybe its supposed to be .687

or maybe thats why the kit is so cheap

kit

Yeah not complaining about the kit I got from you, heck of a deal! I was just out hunting and couldnt figure the difference until it was pointed out the collar does nothing on the cheap kit. Hoping this will be the last kit I ever need!!

intersting rip off though that could pass unless closely inspected.

if you look closely at the cheaper odessy kit, it indeed has a .697 bore.....which is wierd.
