I am looking at some midlevel barrels and I cant tell which is better. I am trying to decide between a Dye Xcel, a J and J Ceramic, and a Dye Aluminum. If someone can please put these in the order you think they go in as far as performance I would eppreciate it. I am mainly concerned with accuracy so please put most of the weight pon that. I am not concerned with trivial things such as the logo being upside down, or the color isnt nice. Please rate on performance. Also, if yoiu think there is a better barrel around that price range please feel free to share. Thanks for your help.

I think the Dyes would be a good choice. Because they're good for the money. And they're not that heavy.

Sorry man, but I'll have to disagree. The J&J ceramic can be found at extremely low prices and IMO it's a better barrel than BOTH of those. Not only that, but the Ceramic barrel is lighter than both of those...it's composed of Alumnium, Teflon, and Ceramic...obviously that means light. I've used a J&J before and I really liked it...that's what I'd go for if I was you.

All those barrels are good. What kind of gun do you have Rayman? Do you want to spend more?
I say go with the the smart parts big daddy barrel at www.firstcallpaintball.com yes it does cost a few dollars more but it is normally a 120 dollar barrel for only 65 dollars. I would rate your barrels in this order.
1 dye alluminum
2 j&j ceramic
3 dye excel

Go with Equation. You can get a Bizerk Pro(w/3 inserts) for only $78. If you want a longer barrel with more options, go with the Multi-Switch Pro(w/3 inserts) for $150. I am a dealer for Equation. Feel free to email me if you have any questions at tre01us@yahoo.com. Check out the reviews and forum threads on the Equation barrels. You can't go wrong with Equation.
