| Review: |
This was one of the first upgrades i got for my gun along with a virtue qev at the same time (omg this barrel was only 25 bucks when i got it from actionvillage.com). when i took it out of the box, i instantly love it. it looked exactly like my stock barrel but this one was 16" and it was finished it dust paint so it matched my stock trigger frame. I got the .689 bore for it, and it does it's job. Its pretty accurate, but i want to make it more so when i get my gun back (its getting its eye's fixed right now) i'm going to order a bolt (HP deadly winds) and adjust the dwell.
The only problem is i unscrew and screw it back in oftem because so my ion can get back in the box, and now its scratched at the base where the threads are but the thread port covers most of that up and its only cosmetic. |

| Conclusion: |
I love this barrel, it makes my gun look sweet me and my friend have twin ions and we get a lot of compliments on them. Its hella cheap and it provides just as much accuracy and a CP or Redz barrel (not going to compare to freak or a stiffi...cause i never seen anyone with them personally). In other words, you get same bang but less buck.
its a cool barrel, but there are better if you can afford it. |
