Barrel recommendations

[behemoth]

just be careful because like the minimag the ULE bodies have a about a 1.5 inch lip before the treads, so if a barral is to "fat" at the base it wont fit in the body.
ive got a pipe kit by evil. i picked it up for about 60 used w/ a 14in tip. im real happy with that. plus i think it looks good. i got a 12 in tip for it because the 14 made my make look like a porn star

What kind of barrels do you use?

I've NEVER encountered a barrel too fat to fit into a ULE...

You using oldschool brass 3/4 barrels? I bet even those would fit...

I've got the redz pepperstick, and it looks great on my xmag and shoots great. The only thing i hate about it, is you get a 16" front you never use. I also have a Lapco bigshot barrel in 12" that i favor over the pepperstick, but it's one piece so no inserts or backs to go with it.

That's what I don't like about the kit, 14" is long for me for a lot of games, it's probably the max I would use. 16" is completely useless and it doesn't look like Redz sells any tips shorter than 14" (I have no idea why.)

However, the barrels look nice and they sound like they are pretty good from the reviews.

I know you said you hate SP but you should really look into the DW Wisper barrel.

It's really nice and as long as you take care of the inserts they won't deform like you say.

and if you are lucky enough to find some stainless steel inserts you should not EVER have a problum with deformed inserts...

Yeah, I'm sure it is nice. I just really can't justify supporting Smart Parts by buying their inserts though.

I know how ya feel I hate them and almost everything they make, but the freak barrel I just can't deny is AWSOME!!!

and the wisper barrel is like an updated form, + unlike other CF barrels you can use battle swabs.

The only bad part about the wisper is it only comes in 14 and 16 inch lengths.... he disscontinued the 12" version for now...

Ultralites are the shizzy...dont let that other dye barrek turn you away..ul shoot like a dream..pricey but worth it..and u can pick one up used for like 50 instead of 100...matchsticks are also good barrels...bob long is realesing some new barrels soon.

But i love an UL...ive heard good things about peppersticks..and you dont have to buy a kit u can buy sperate barrels.

Yeah, I would probably end up doing that, I doubt I'd use the other backs and I wouldn't use the 16" tip.

If you don't want to bother with a kit like that you could look into the lapco barrels.

The miccro shot for smaller paint
the autosprite for medium paint
and the bigshot for larger paint

You could also look at the PPS Brass barrels. They are very nice and cost bout 50$ or so.

J&J makes a GREAT barrel for the money too.

J&J has always been my favorite in the past.

Then just buy a J&J. you could also get the J&J Edge kit if you want to get the diffrent barrel tips and diffrent bore sized backs.

CP is what i use now, i used to have a jj ceramic kit, but found the kit to be useless as i was always using the .693 back. Personally, i use a 16" front, but they offer many fronts and you could get a back and 2 fronts for around $100 new. They shoot just about the same as a Dye UL barrel in my experience, but cost much less

J&J Barrels

I have a J&J kit that works out pretty well ( PM me for sale price if interested in buying )

Its 4 backs ( .685.688.691.693 ) a 10" and a 14" tip.

Black barrels in a hard sided padded case. The barrels are a kinda dull black initially ( teflon impregnated coating on these ), but with use they take on a nice gloss black shine.

The kit I have I had J&J custom make for me is a little different.. They have an Edge kit with 4" control bores that I dont like the looks of, and they were hard to get off my pump gun. I had them make the set of backs based on the Full Tilt series with 6 inch backs. they have worked out really well for me.

J&J kits are pretty cheap compared to most out there rigth now too.

Until I decided to part my ULE mag out, I was using a 14" UL on it (I slapped on a 12" tip when my wife used it). The DYE UL rocks.
