Review:
this barrel is extremely light. the plastic tube it came in weights more then the barrel. with my 12" excel barrel i had a grouping to about 4-5 inches at 20yrds. then i swapped out barrles and the grouping was reduces to about 0-2 inches. 3/10 where actually on top of another, 4/10 where an 2 inches off from the inital shot, and the remain3/10 where all less then 1inch from the intial shot.
if u want to try this out for ur self make sure ur first shot is a different fill color then the rest so u can keep track of it bc by the end u'll have only one giant spot of paint.
in my test i was shooting 275fps, +\- of 2fps. i had a 14" stiffi, with a bore of .687 and shot fresh gap [orange fill, orange shel(initl shot purple shell pink fill)]. test was onducted in my backyard with no wind. no breaks where experianced during testing.
Conclusion:
i feel $120 is well worth it, but if u can find it cheaper its a bargin...check ebay
