[ec134730]

I have been looking for weeks for a new barrel and having a real hard time deciding...i've read dozens of reviews for one barrel and decide to get that then read dozens of reviews for another barrel and i change my mind......
im lost:confused:
i am looking to buy a new barrel for my 98c and have narrowed it down to 4 different barrels
1-Lapco Snapshot
2-Lapco Bigshot
3-Smart Parts Teardrop
4-J&J Ceramic

which barrel do you think is better for woods ball and why?
which one do you think has better accuracy and durability?

thanks for any help...lol you guys must be getting annoyed with another barrel question like this

[Drunk_Greek]

i like ceramics but thats just me..

[Psycho_warden]

Lapco is what I would go for. Very accurate and great quality. And if you cant get one of those, then get a J&J.

[spyderpilot642]

jj ceramic
also look at cp one pieces

[ec134730]

which lapco the Snapshot or Bigshot?

[Drunk_Greek]

id get snapshot but it costs more..

[Drunk_Greek]

yo i just noticed u live like 20 minute drive from me!

[ec134730]

ok i eliminated one....the Bigshot.......is the Snapshot a better barrel than the teardrop and J&J Ceramic

[soccerjacks12]

The Bigshot is better than the Ceramic and the Progressive. The Snapshot is a 2-piece, but I have no experience w/ it. I'd take a CP One-Piece or LAPCO Bigshot out of all those.

QFT. You don't really need the Snapshot (2-piece) unless you have different backs. The Bigshot is a really great one-piece, pretty durable too. It is kind of loud though.

You will be happy with any of the Lapco barrels or the J&J ceramic. I have shot a Bigshot and a Ceramic. I would say the Bigshot is a little more accurate, and you should not remove it from your possible choices. The Ceramic is accurate as well, and it also has a self-cleaning feature in the event of a ball break. If you have the money, I have heard many people rave about the Snapshot barrel.

I would stay away from the Teardrop. There are betters out there.

Basically, you searched well. I would recommend 3 of those 4 barrels.

[ec134730]

ok thanks.....so it would be then either bigshot or ceramic
the snapshot i dont really need cause i dont have diffrent backs....the teardrop isn't the best in my choices....the bigshot is i little bit louder than the ceramic but also has a little better accuracy....and the ceramic is good for shooting through breaks...lol did i get that all right??

fyi:
Snapshot:3
Bigshot:4(back in)
Teardrop:0(out)
Ceramic:3

ps. i was looking at bigshot barrels and saw one that was aluminum and one that was stainless.....it there a diffrence in proformance.....or just the metel

Where did you see this? I went to their website (www.lapco.net) and didn't find anything about that...but yeah, keep the Bigshot in consideration, I use one and haven't had any problems yet. I have a two-piece J&J ceramic (the Full Tilt), and had a break once...it didn't really "self-clean" all that well, I still ended up having to swab it. Plus, the porting took some time to clean out.

i didn't see it on their website but here on pbreview http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/241/

Hmm. That is a good question. I would guess that the outside finish is what they're referring too, as there is an $8 difference in price. I don't know for sure though, maybe someone else will.

[ec134730]

ok thanks

ps. I am going for the bigshot......anyone knows were i can get one for the cheapest?

Doropaintball had some, but they were for the Old 98 threads. My advice is to watch some on eBay, I got mine for $25 shipped in an auction. Otherwise, it looks like you'll be stuck paying about $50.

ok thanks

Cheapest place for the lapco big shot http://paintballgate.stores.yahoo.net/labigshmo98b1.html Ever! And id like to see anyone beat that price

[reneirwolf878]

They used to have a SS and aluminum version. I had the aluminum and my friend has an SS. Other than the SS being heavier and only availible in silver there was no difference.
