what barrel for a 98 custom?

[mongoose3]

does n e one know on a good accurate 16" barrel for a tippmann custom 98 for about 40$ or under:confused:

Doubt it...spend 50$ and get a bigshot

[Shazaam]

Dont listen to stealth, 40 bux will get you a good barrell..

And why do you want 16"??? 12 and 14 are most accurate....i'd go with 12" either J&J ceramic, Dye excel, Dye Boomstick, or Lapco Bigshot. The J&J ceramic would be the cheapest(30 bux at a site i know of, 40 bux anywhere else) and I heard alot of great things about it....Quiet, accurrate and light. While the boomstick is expensive, looks cool, accurrate, and kinda loud.

spend $50 on the bigshot. you wont regret it

[Shazaam]

bigshot is only 50? I thought it was alot more then that......i must be thinkin boomstick...Go with the bigshot then if its that cheap:biglaugh:

Btw has anyone used a 32* Terminator barrel? Because i can order one from a canadian site for really cheap....I checked out the ratings and it got a 9.3 outta 10. I wanted to know what you though.

Actually, a 16" barrel has been shown in test to have more accurate groupings, simply because the ball travels down the barrel a longer time, and can prepare itself to enter the air (??? Not sure how to phrase that) BUTTTTTT, anything over a 14" on a 98 is unwieldly, and a 14" is shown to be the best possible length for both accuracy and gas efficiency. Actually, while we'
re on the subject, anything over 12" has been shown to be wasting gas...however, on many 'guns, 12" just looks weird. I think 12" is fine for a Tippman (I have a 13" Armson Stealth, Which isn't so bad), or for a small 'gun, such as a 'Mag or Micro/Mini-Cocker. The J&J Ceramic and the Bigshot are the best barrels I have found for such a great price. I really do suggest you save your money and buy a DYE Ultralite or Boomstick...those suckas make your 'gun more accurate than you could EVER imagine...get a 12 or 14" for those, a 12" for the Ceramic and Bigshot.

[lvlatt]

show me the test, then i;ll believe that your not juts making that up

[mongoose3]

thx fer the info but somany peeps sayin 14 and 16 and im stuck in a hole so somebody that has a good non expensive barrel plz that they know is accurate and dont weight 20 pounds please reply thx

[Shazaam]

14 or 12...16 looks weird on a tippy and it sticks off...and thers no accuracy increase...and the range will start to go down the longer the barrel, so i heard

[mongoose3]

ya i do kno that ,the range does decrease the longer the barrel is. iv decided to get a J & J ceramic 14 or 12 inch thx for all of your help every1:peace:

a good quiet barrel is the 32* wisper. with about a 1/3 of a tank of co2 i was shooting ball on ball from about 30 foot away on a bird feeder.

[ippmann]

custom products 14 in. or Lapco Bigshot 14 in.

[SilentFalls]

If you can find em in the length you want (need to search a bit) then 32 degrees Whisper ($50) and 32 degrees Quiet Riot ($35) are great. The Quiet Riot is one of the best barrels i've ever used. It recieved i believe a 9.7/10 from this website.

I think freaks got the same rating
