Looks like you're just about set except for the 20 inch barrel. That's not so good a choice. Could be worse though, aard just bought a 32 inch CP at the World Cup. i hope he doesn't try and play with that thing...

20 inches is just a little big for a pb gun. i bet you have to crank your velocity up all hte way to get it to 250

20 inches is way too long. hell, i think 14 inches is too long

I've read the reviews though.... most people are in love with it or a very few hate it with a passion? im confused!!!:confused: :confused:

i play sniper im not one to run to the front lines...... the 12 inch i use to play with sucked, i had a hard time with it.

i was thinking the 20 inch would help me out

longer does NOT mean more accurate, it is just harder to deal with when you are in your bunker. if you like it thats fine, keep it. and for $350, you could have gotten a much better gun and gear, but o well, too late now. good luck . . .

i got my gun is sig (under my post) for $50 more than what you spent, but you needed all the gear too. you could have a gotten a shutter or pirahana g3 pro, with a lapco barrel, small nitro tank, and a mask. might even have had money left for a revvy . . . who ever you got that from made profit off you, you could buy that stuff new for less . . .

I'm afraid he's right. I got my Bushy for #350. And its customized...

Man, the kid got his gun, give him a break. It's kinda cruel to start ragging on the guy like that. If you're happy with what you got, then good for you man. Stay happy with it. A Spyder 2000 aint the best in the world, but it aint bad either

That Kingman Flash is available for $269......a package and barrel would be about $350.....but hey, if you're happy, that's cool. I reccomed you get a Storm frame for your Spyder, and HPA next. Then you can keep up with the big boys. Not as flashy, but just as effective.

Thor....I think you can use most any standard bolt with a flush cocking kit.....I dunno for sure though. I'd hate to blow $60 on a delrin bolt and flush cocking kit for my Shutter only to find out it didn't work. You'll have to ask someone really knowledgable.
