    Powerlyte

    I've played paintball for over ten years. Swivelling my office chair to the right, you will see three Automags hanging on my wall. One Retrovalve Automag, one "JEWLE Mag" and one XMag. They all have one barrel in common; Powerlyte. Whether it be a Scepter multi-sleeve kit, two-piece Speedline or one-piece Speedline, Powerlyte barrels are an excellent product that always get me "wow this 'gun is amazing" comments at fields. Just my two cents.

          personally ive always been a Freak and All American fan. I have a 2 peice 14" AA for my mag.

          With recent events a lot of people aren't buying SP merchandise. But i do think their barrels are good barrels.

            Going to have to say Powerlyte again.

            Great smooth barrels, excellent contruction, accurate bore sizes, great QA and just a good company in general.

            Most of the guys on my team, as well as our family of teams, are using the Scepter.

              I personally like my carbon fiber barrel on my mags versus any other barrels ive tried..which have been quite a few.

                  I can tell you a barrel not to purchase is the SP All American(the older design without the threads). The other day I was swabing it out and the darn glue that was holding it together came apart.

                    if you want to go cheap- go with the sp teardrop or dye xcel

                    i personally like the teardrop because it looks cooler... their performances are the same

                    theyre not perfect, but they shoot straight as long as you have a mid-high bore size for the teardrop and a mid boresize for the xcel
                    Yummy yummy yummy, I've got fun in my tummy.

                      Wow, thanks guys!! I was just thinking about which barrel to get for the new XMag when I saw this thread.

                      Three people whose opinions I would highly trust on this forum, have recommended the Powerlyte. I checked out the reviews on pbreview.com and this barrel system got MANY great reviews! Seems like you are getting a great system for an even better price!

                      Personally, I think I'll go with the Powerlyte Sceptor three insert system. This seems like a great one to start out with, and I can always buy more inserts later.

                      Funny, it looks a lot like the barrel that comes stock w/ the XMag.

                            I've used 32* Carbon Fiber barrels on any Mag I've owned. Always shoot great no matter what paint I stuffed in it.
