Boa Barrel on Ebay

[Fat Yoda]

Back in '96-'97 BOA was my team's first real sponsor, other than our local field. I remember that I didn't like the little rim between the barrel and the porting so when the team folded I got rid of the barrel.

The little rib was put there so your hand would not slip off of the barrel while trying to pull it out. Back then all markers were on C02 and the barrels were usually wet.

The rim was also great for getting stuck between the slats of pallets.

IIRC along with personal problems, SP threatened to sue because BOA was using spiral porting, which along with electronics, coconuts, solenoids, and fish were invented by SP.

Yea, he gave us 12 of the barrels that were ported like the All American barrel :) . We gave them back about a month later because SP was also one of our sponcers . He went back to the original porting past the rib.

Does someone have pictures of the two different kinds? I have one on my minimag but never knew there were two different versions.

I'd post a picture of the one I have except Tunaman has it right now because my Minimag is with him and I left the barrel on it.

It's heavy as sin that's for sure. I didn't know it was nickel plated brass...I thought it was stainless steel.

No pics? I guess I'll have to remember this thread when I get my barrel back and I can post a pic of it on here.

my favorite is still the DYE SS barrel. best shooting barrel by FAR. the only barrel with an actual mirror on the inside

never getting rid of that one...

Still have a Dye Stainless as well. But it sits in a box.

Way too heavy.
