A smart parts all american, it's an extremely nice barrel, if thats to much, a smart parts teardrop will do nicely

Yeh the AA barrels are super quiet, I would go with the dye ss IMO. they have dye stainless steel barrel for sale at http://www.firstcallpaintball.com for $59!!

if you run lp, or ever intend to, don't get the AA. Too much porting. I just ordered a dye SS

I run on CO2, but I have a fill station and an ACI 6 stage EX. chamber so gas is'nt a prob. But I know what lp stands for but I'm not to sure what it is, is it a nitro set up because I'm not going to go to nitro I play in the woods about once or twice a week so I don't need nitro.

it's just running a lower pressure into the gun, so instead of the air hitting the ball like smack!... it's more like a fwoosh :) Its quieter, more accurate, and I think it uses less air. as long as you don't have alot of porting in the barrel it shoots as hard tho.

Ok thanks for clearing that up, but I'm not going to LP so porting is ok because I want quiet and accurate. I shoot mostly RPS like slamball, allstars, and El Tigre some times I shoot Marbs or PMI premiums, and higher quality Diablo.

a GOOD LP barrel is a lapco bigshot because it doesnt have any porting just a muzzle brake and or a AKA javelin barrel.

I hear that the AA is really accurate and quiet, but I don't have one. I fyou aren't running lp and don't plan on it, porting has little effect, other than sound I guess. I do have a PMI razzor, that I just sold. It's accurate and really quiets down the Tippy that it was on. Plus I think it's cheaper than the AA. Just another alternative, but I've heard alot of good things about the AA

the best barrel up there is the carbon fiber. but you should of added the all american and the teardrop. the teardrop is a great barrel. it shoots marbs and all stars very good.

I have a Teardrop and an AA but I want to try some thing besides Smartparts. And I had my eye on a carbon fiber but they dont go well with my gun so unless people strongly recomend it I'm probably not gettiing it.

how much are you willing to spend? the dye ss is a good barrel and that seems to be winning in the polls. i dont know why nobody is voting for the carbon fiber. i used one for a game and it worked excellent with marbs and all stars

Why wouldn't some one get a freak for a dark raider? My dark raider is tricked to the point that it keeps up with all the cockers at our field. Have you ever used a dark raider? Regaurdless of what you think they very good sturdy guns.

if you dont got 220 then just get the black back black tip and one insert and it would only cost like 130 and get more as you go. with one insert it is just like a normal barel and you can upgrade and get more inserts as you get more money you wont regret a freak!!!! and when u upgrade guns you dont loose all the money you got into barrels just keep the tips and inserts
