I just ordered an empire 7-piece barrel kit...

I regularly shoot Karnage which falls right through my smart-parts AA and a J&J ceramic.

I hope I'm not disappointed...

Looking at your posts it seems like you shoot a 98c, which honestly, doesn't really need a kit. However, the choice was yours to make, hope it works well for you.

Yeah, depending on your marker, I would try different paint instead of spending that much on a barrel kit that you're probaly only going to use one bore size of. But, it's your money. Enjoy the kit.

It seems like the more experienced players tend to recommend kits...at my local field anyways.
Freaks are pretty pricey, but empire kits are surprisingly affordable <$60.

I am pretty pleased w/My tippy (HPA, egrip and palmer), a barrel kit seems like a good next step...

I'll let you know how it goes, as far as which back to use:
The balls should NOT fall freely, requiring only a small puff of air to come out...right?

thanks

Not a small puff of air but it should strain you to blow it out. A little force. The freak kit is not very good for the price, and the reason players recommend kits is becasue accuracy is dependant on match. I didn't know the 7 piece was <$60, you're not talking about revolvers reight?

Is this a revolver?

This is, they don't make it for the 98. The one you ordered is a nice kit, don't worry. The revolver is the powerlyte scepter w/ new milling and empire logos.
