I believe all the Brass Eagle Markers are Spyder threaded, so pretty much the sky is the limit for your selection.

Spyder threads.

Unless you buy used you're not going to get anything good until you hit $40. At that point you've got barrels such as the CP 1 piece, Lapco, J&J and others that will give $80 barrels a run for their money. However, do not expect a new barrel to magically make your marker shoot dead on accurate....especially if you're gun doesn't have a reg and even more so if you're using co2.

If cost really is a factor look at CMI. They've got cheap barrels and some people say they aren't too bad.

I hate to tell you to buy another marker, but I'm going to anyway. For the price of a new barrel you could find a used spyder. It will last much longer than your Brass Eagle. Your marker will probably break sooner or later. Spyders last much longer and the stock barrel on the Xtras and other cheap mechanical markers arent that bad. Look around for a used Xtra or TL-X.

However, if you don't want to upgrade to a new marker, I would suggest a Proto one-piece barrel as I hear it is a very good barrel for only $30.

Don't the barrels on BE markers come permanently attatched?

Anyways, it takes Spyder threads. I'd look for like a used J&J Ceramic. Used barrels are cheap.

Not on all of their markers, And yes they are spyder threaded. Like Sonix said look for a used J&J.

Get w inforce barrel for about $30 work amazing, and dont bother upgrading your marker if your an occasional player, I used an avenger for years its prolly the best marker BE ever made.

"Spyder Threaded" is the term used to describe the thread pitch and diameter of the threaded section of the barrel.

Several variations of thread pitch and diameter are available, usually the pitches are proprietary to the manufacturer of the marker, but some are standard SAE or Metric pitch thread.
