Lapco myths

[MikedaPber]

Ok, ive heard alot of stuff how lapcos are really loud and very heavy (stainless steel) Now are those true? I dont want my cocker to be front heavy... i run remote. I would get the nickel plated one but will it scratch alot?

they really arent that loud at all. someone actually said "wow your gun is quite" last time i played. the stainless version is 11 ounces i think, but the aluminum is even lighter, id say just a few ounces, very light. if you want the look of the stainless but the light weight you can get a nickle plated aluminum big shot from www.g3pb.com they are cheaper than the stainless too . . .

totally agree with venom on the loudness point.

My gun is louder than a JnJ, but it's still real quiet. I went from a stock spyder bolt to a bigshot. noticed to change in noise, but a lot in accuracy, the range went down a little though, but I don't know why, mabye it didn't but it seemed too.
so it's quieter than everyone says

Well its going to be kinda loud because of the lack of porting. I dont see why you would have a problem with a steel barrel... unless your a weak basterd :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

well its not that the weight is a problem but the lighter the gun the better (for me at least) i mean running to the 50 on the break is alot easier with a light gun . . . its also easier for me to point and snap shoot with a ligher gun/barrel

but a heavy barrel can be nice, i did a test with my brothers old 18" boomstick attached to my 2 piece of my barrel (spyder threaded at the connection) and with that much weight i could fan the trigger without very much, almost no, up and down movements. were as when i stick my big shot on there it shakes all over the place. not that this is very practical, fanning your trigger just makes you about 70% more likely to break a ball and you generally don't hit any one. but if i just used this as a general theme then i could say a heavy barrel means less movements when you really rip on the trigger or always (especially on the light guns light bushys) but this is pretty much all void for cockers cause they (if timed right) shouldn't have any kick, but the trigger movement-gunmovement might go down a little.

Im just affraid the nickel will scratch easily.... my dye doesnt scratch at all. But my OLD eagleworks barrel was nickel plated or clear annodized, sumthing like that, and it scratched so easliy. Maybe its just b/e :laugh:

Doesnt matter, i ordered the stainless steel version :D
There is enough weight in the back to balance it out.
