lapco bigshot....

[WoWAddict]

i cant find one for sale anywhere.. a lapco bigshot stainless steel barrel with 98c threads.....and a second thing will the a-5 threads fit my 98c?\

thank you for your input

[synkronics]

im pretty sure they dont make stainless steel bigshots anymore...
and no an a-5 threaded barrel wont work

[TheSpy11]

1. SS Bigshots are hard to find, so I can't just point you to one. Check eBay every so often. Right now an Autococker threaded SS is there, but no 98s yet.

2. No.

[WoWAddict]

thank you and yeah i checked ebay only theautocoker is there :( i really had my hearts set on ss well thanks anyways

[WoWAddict]

next question lol is the 32 degrees: nyte stik threaded fr 898 aswell in the description only says tippmann so i have to speculate

[synkronics]

stay away from 32 degrees barrels

[WoWAddict]

any particular reason? inaccurate unreliable? break easy ? just suck?

[synkronics]

they suck...badly

i got a wisper before i got my bigshot for my 98 and i hated it...it was worse than the stock barrel

this should be in the barrel forum but i think the mods will be happier with just one thread but anyways

if your looking for a new barrel j&j ceramic and cp 1 piece are great barrels

[WoWAddict]

1 theres a barrel thread? and 2 is the aluminum as good and accurate as the stainless steel or should i forget the whole lapco bigshot one altoghter?

[synkronics]

they are the same accuracy wise stainlesssteel is a little heavier

i have an aluminum bigshot and i love it

[WoWAddict]

yeah ok the only reason i was a little ancy about was because of the accuracy...now that u have helped me outi have decided to go with tthe aluminum, but the aluminum comes in a hard anodized black or bead blasted finish which confuse me cause i have no idea which is better and im still enw to paintball so forgive all theses questions. btw i was thinkin about getting trilogy pro,but guy at shop said was comlicated internals three way system thing.

[synkronics]

its just the paint color bead blasted is like a matte black
i think i have a picture of it somewhere ill edit it in if i can find it
EDIT:here you go

wowo u replyed so fast i thought my computer froze lol...well thank you again i thought it had something to do with the inside of the gun.

[WoWAddict]

aww cool thanks man nice looking gun, the drop forward makes it more efficient right or centered wieght wise? ah yes and ive also heard that a stock can get in the wa y as well i plan on playing woodsball ect ect is this true or does the stock help alot

[synkronics]

if i had the chance to get the stock id get a folding one instead of a colapsableand the drop is because the stock is in the way.The stock helps some. and i reply so fast because i have no life:dodgy:

[The Fury]

how long is your lapco? i have one for my MR1 and the lapco on it sucks, curves alot and doesnt shoot as far as my J&J... maybe its jus my gun or it doesnt like the cold weather... or i think i jus got a defected one..

[WoWAddict]

aww man fury now im second guessing my decision to get one.. well im getting a 14"

im actually thinking of getting Smart Parts Teardrop Barrel 14" instead now....i dunnno which is better although or which is cheaper ill check web.

[Sil3nt_ReprisAL]

I had a teardrop for my spyder, it was pretty bad, about the same as the stock barrel, I just got a big shot for my a5 in today I'll be able to try it soon, I would be willing to bet the big shot is much better than the teardrop...

[synkronics]

im back:rolleyes:

it is my brothers got a progressive which is about the same thing

[WoWAddict]

yeah progressive is like the same thing but ive heard nothiong but good about them

[synkronics]

there decent but you get what you pay for

[TheSpy11]

The Progressive/Teardrop shoots basically the same as all other $50 or less barrels. These include the CP 1-piece, J&J Ceramic/Pro-1, Lapco Bigshot, Proto 1-piece, ACI Zero Gravity, and Dye Excel. The only real differences between all of them are in ways other than accuracy.

[The Fury]

aww man fury now im second guessing my decision to get one.. well im getting a 14"

im actually thinking of getting Smart Parts Teardrop Barrel 14" instead now....i dunnno which is better although or which is cheaper ill check web.

haha im sorry, i shulda sed something after you bought it... well my lapco is only 12" maybe thats the reason, since everyone else says get something between 14"-16"... or its not made for my marker only tippmanns.

[WoWAddict]

np fury im getting smartparts teardrop now cause my friend has one and highly recomndes it!!!!!

[WoWAddict]

Woot got my smart parts 14" teardrop/progressive barrel today and some rps marbilizers so im goiong to shoot it wicked soon post back with accurarcy results ect ect

[dukedude4evr]

dude i like the CP Classic, is it worth getting it? or should i go all out for like, a 3 piece freak/any other barrel combo?

[TheSpy11]

The CP Classic is a great barrel. You can't go wrong IMO.

[PTE. O'Hearn]

u want a lapco i jusr bought one off of badlandspaintball.com but it's canadian

[WoWAddict]

just shot my new barrel....real accurate at 65feet i got 10/10 hits on a tree 3in across if a ball breaks screwss it up big time......i simulated a broke ball and it was curving all up down side to side.....i was using rps marbilizers

[dukedude4evr]

ok, here's a question, if i wanna get a freak barrel, do i need an adapter (allows cocker threads(is that what a freak is?) to fit on 98's (hopefully u all know that)) and is a J&J Edge worth getting since it is the same size, yet 4 diff. bore sizes?

[synkronics]

you can get freak backs in tippmann 98 threads...also adapters suck because it makes the kis useless and adds lenght to the barrel

the J&J edge kit would be fine...i'd prefer that to a freaK

[WoWAddict]

ok im getting a double triggr on tuesday, im also looking for an aftermarket bolt Dh titanium hammer is the one i had picked out am i making a mistake?

you dont need an aftermarked hammer for a tippmann it will do nothing except take money out of your pocket

[IronCorps]

We have a 'barrels and paint' forum for a reason.

[WoWAddict]

ok ok just one more question how do i clean the porting in my barrell without c02

[Coenen]

1. Swab it.
2. Water.
3. Combination of the two.

Wipe down after and you're set.

[r1000]

Are you answering these questions with your eyes closed at this point....? :D

[Coenen]

Could be. :dodgy:

[synkronics]

Could be. :dodgy:
just dont start driving the way you post:P
