I'd defintely get a reg first. The stock barrel, is still a stock barrel that all will upgrade in time, but there are better things you can do. It really isnt so bad.

My stock barrel works great with Draxxus Blaze. I suspect it will work well with all small-medium sized paint.

The stock barrel is a .689 bore so it works pretty well with most paints... that's why everyone loves ICD!

I used the stock barrel for about 2 months and I had great results with Diablo Blaze and Bigball... very accurate

Captain,

That's interesting, I had terrible results with Bigball. My field was using Blaze and recently switched to Bigball. I notice a huge difference between the 2 paintballs. Blaze works great. I hit what I aim at. However, with Bigball, they go all over the place. Maybe it was that particular batch of Bigball.

Cheers

J - Blaze did work a little better for me than BigBall, but nonetheless BigBall was working very well with all things considered. You must have just nailed a bad batch... or maybe it wasn't as fresh as it could be... the stuff I was using was preemo freshness, RPS factory direct :)

I would suggest that your first upgrades be a new valve and and volumizer. I installed a Vapor Valve and Mitey Max right off the bat. My efficiency about doubled and the consistency was a lot better. The second upgrade should be a HPR. Go for a barrel kit after all of that. The stock barrel isn't too bad and you could put off replacing that for a while. I would also recommend the Zenitram block/Micro Rock LPR upgrade too once you've done all the other stuff.
