DYE vs Smart Parts

[MereMoth]

Sorry to the people who hate polls.

[ElectricHead]

COME ON! just post a thread instead of a useless poll!!!!

hahaha calm down man..it's just a poll...it's not like Bush won the election or anything..oh crap..he did....MAN

[ElectricHead]

EXACTLY, nothing is "just a poll"..... wall ok this is but useless polls still annoy me, and you get way more information from a thread! but i suppose ive been just as annoying as the people posting the polls, so i think im going to refrain from posting on stupid polls, otherwise ill seem like an even bigger *** :)

true..but oh well watcha gonna do right? like my dad sed one time "Life sucks, deal with it"

[TLplus84]

that had nothing to do with this discussion did it?

[MuckRaker]

This one holds some interest because I'm in the barrel market, and I'm considering a Smart Parts (Progressive or Tear Drop). I've also heard some good stuff about the Dye Excel. Turn this into a thread, someone give me some input on these barrels. :)

[TLplus84]

I don't thik too highly of the Progressive or the Excel. That's just me. The Teardrop is a pretty good choice of barrel. I personnally have a JJ Ceramic barrel. I love it to death. If you don't wanna pay an arm and a leg for a barrel, but have high expectations, go for a J J ceramic. ALso check out the Lapco barrels. VERY good quality. A bit on the loud side, but dead accurate.

Don't remind us all!

ive got an execel and it's pretty nice, but not as accurate as a bigshot, yet like 30 decibels quieter, i hate jj ceramics, thets just me tho

[TLplus84]

I guess i don't like the excel cuz i play with small bore paint and the Excel is large bore. I guess for large bore paint it's pretty good..but i love my JJ Ceramic

[Richy_C]

no, it may say large but marbs fit them just like...... well u know :-)

I have a Dye aluminium and it rocks on my spyder compact2k

[Richy_C]

compacts are fun aren't they?

[MuckRaker]

I like the price on the Excel, but I hear the Teardrop is quieter ... I've heard the accuracy is about the same on both ... Anyone hear differently?

[TLplus84]

i heard the Teardrop was a little bit better than the Excel. If i were to get anohther barrel, i'd go with a BOomstick or a Big Daddy

[Richy_C]

well if u want dead nuts accuracy get a bigshot, for quietness a sp but for a good mix of both get the execel

[TLplus84]

i'd get the Tear drop b/c there is a wide variety of paints that you could shoot b/c the Teardrop is med. bore and tehre is less chance of a ball rollin out of your barrel then with a large bore like the Excel. Also i think the Teardrop looks better
