I have a Rebel Extreme and I was wondering if I should upgrade some like $200 or just wait until Christmas and get some money and get a nice gun. I was thinking about getting a AA and a ACI 6 Stage Xpansion Chamber. And Some other things. I was wondering if Rebel Xtremes liked liquid C02 or not. I don't think they do but I am not 100% sure. Put in any of your opinions, I would love them!

don't get the new gun, use the 200 bucks and get a stainless steel all american (around 65 bucks if you look hard :) i looked real hard and got mine for 40 :) ), you'll love every second of playing with it. and a nice expansion chamber would be good but instead get a PALMER REGULATOR thing-a-ma-jib, their supposed to be the best at letting gas expand (i've heard their pretty expensive, around 80 bucks), the awesome thing is that the barrel is pretty heavy for a barrel so theirs not nearly and much kick, and the noise is reduced down to like 1/7 of what it used to be. (on my rebel deluxe anyway)

hope this helps:)

Did you get the barrel new? I have a friend that can get me stuff pretty cheap but I have never though heard of a stainless steel barrell AA. Where did you get it at? Thanks for responding!

no i did not get the barrel new. i got it off of my friend who sold his tl plus to my local paintball field but they didn't want the barrel because they were gonna use the gun as a rental and didn't wanna have an 85 dollar barrel out there in newbie hands. so he was stuck with it because he now has a minimag which as i'm sure your aware of, does not use screw in barrels of any sort. so i asked him if it was for sale and he said sure, 30 or 40 bucks, i was going to buy it for thirty but then he realized that he paid 100 for it and he made me pay forty. still thats a great price. go to the barrel reviews and look for the stainless steel all american (there are probably less than 30 reviews) you'll see that it gets alot better reviews than the regular AA. and you can get it in tons of different colors. Mine is black and silver, it looks cool. my friend had only used it 3 times and i bet if you saw it you couldn't tell the difference between it and a new one. Also my friend and myself have accumalated over 2000 shots through it and NONE have broken, including 500 brass eagles! (we were careful not to shoot those too fast though) so you won't need to squeegie it often at all which is good because it is a 2 piece barrel and they rip squeegies apart if you have the pull through kind. but you won't need to use it anyway.

and its not a problem to help a fellow paintballer. oh and if you have any spare time and you own either a v-force, a flex ize, or a proteous, would you please go to the mask forum and post under my thread asking which should i get?

thanks
