I understand that the different color backs (chrome, grey, black) indicate different bore sizes right?
what size is the chrome back? do you know where i can order a splash barrel with the chrome back? I think that the chrome back is sweeet.

I'm not TL, but the from what I've read and researched, all All American barrels are medium bore.

THe Black back is med bore, the chrome is small bore, and the gray is large bore.

Silent Knight, I just want to warn you not to get a 16". They've proven that after a barrel passes 12", all the extra length does is create extra friction. So if you were buying for accuracy, get a 12". If you just like the look of a longer barrel... okay... But seriously any longer than 12" has no accuracy advantage AT ALL.

well originally i was planning on getting a 14". But then i changed to the 16" don't ask me why. I really like the silver back (chrome) but I mostly shoot powerball paint, and that is medium bore so i guess no silver back for me.
