Buy more recognized brands, my friend ordered some AAA barrel of there, tho it was decent. It wasn't worth the money.
From reading reviews, A couple of barrels that have gotten great reviews.
-J&J Ceramic, Self Cleaning, Accurate $60 CAD
-Lapco Bigshot, Louder but more Accurate, + less porting = more effecient $80 CAD
Smart Parts proggressive, teardrop, freak, are pretty good. But a little expensive compared to the above. Dye also makes good barrels, but are overpriced, you pay for the name in this case.
EDIT: after looking at your link, it looks like a cheap knockoff. Also from experience and knowledge. Its mostly newbs who buy huge barrels thinking they'll be able to snipe ppl for 200 yards.
ANY barrel over 14 inch is taking away from manueverability, distance, and speed of your gun. The ball is only propelled by pressure for about 6-8" of the barrel, the rest is to straighten the ball. Too much length and you actually take away the distance because of more friction on the ball.
