    Hammer head vs. Powerlyte scepter

    i have a hammerhead and love it but i use it on my 98 custom.i have been thinking the only thing i dont like is the "fins" (boresizes) are small in length. it got me thinking "wouldn't it be more accurate if the ball went through a tighter hole for a longer time?" so i stumbled upon the powerlyte scepter system. i have read only good things about it. i dont want to hear about the rifling not working because it is very accurate. now i am stuck between buying all new fins or a powerlyte scepter system? the prices will be similiar so i am asking your opinions. thanks.

      I won't bother getting into accuracy, but I will say that I've heard the new(07) scepter kits have a much shorter rear/insert than the old 05 kits. So if length really does make things more accurate, it probably won't be different than your hammerhead.

          After reading the Tech info that for a mag the best length is 8-10 inches before porting and no longer than 12 inches maximum, I went through just about every barrel system before I found the one I got. The Scepter was a pretty close runner up, but in my opinion, I'd say go with a Lapco Snapshot.

              The Redz pepperstick kit has 8" backs and is an awsome barrel. Its worth looking into. Also the Empire Revolver is basically the 05 Scepter and also works great.

                  You can still find older models, and actually PowerLyte told me they will be selling older pieces to thier kits. I have one and it shoots very will. I like it much better then the freak system I had. Used Scepters are fairly easy to find. I have a few inserts available if you find an incomplete kit.

                          bryceeden thanks for the empire revolver thing but i think y buy a knock off when u can buy the original fr cheaper.

                          minimag y do u say dont get a hammerhead? i love mine. the only thing i dont like is the fins are expensive.

                          i have been looking into redz pepperstikz but their a little over my price range.

                          also on another forum someone had told me they saw a study that shorter bores work better than longer ones. anyone else hear of this or is he just pulling it out of his ***. i could kind of see how they would work better but i dont know.

                          thanks for the replies and keep them coming. and i love automag owners (me being one myself) u guys have posted more rplies than any other forum iive asked on.

                          also is any on here ever registered on njpb (does not exist anymore)
