I know, people ask questions about paint and barrel matches all the time, but I have a question that I don't think has been answered... I've noticed that recently, Marbs have been MUCH smaller than they used to be (now they roll through my Boomstick and my J&J Ceramic). Has anyone measured the past couple months' batches? Also, what barrel works well with the recent batches of Marbs? It has to be small bore, that's for sure... any info would be great. Thanks!

Yes marbs are describes as small bore. Lapco Autospirit is small bore. Armson Stealth are small. Custom Products 2 piece is designed to your specs. small or whatever. Boomy is small bore as well. Not all paintballs are perfect, we all know that, but sometimes you get a few weird ones that are just not quite right. :crazy:

But they've been very small for the past 2 cases I've bought (from different places), and they all roll right through :( . I want them to go back to the old shell! lol

Interesting...I have an AA barrel and I just bought a bunch of magenta marbs and when I put them through the back, they just got stuck like they were supposed to. My AA is medium bore too!

I believe we were talking about RPS Marbs

Yes, he is too. Marbs are (or at least were) made in green and magenta. I get the feeling my Boomstick is a large bore.

The chart I rely on has Boomies listed at .688 which makes them small-medium. Medium starts at .689
