Lapco Bigshot???

[Kamakaze_Newbie12]

Could i get a bigshot in a 14 inch barrel??? some say that you can but i can only find the 11.5 on websites.

[TLplus84]

i think they only come in 12 inch...i'm not too sure though..i've only seen the 12(same thing as 11.5) in. lenght

[mesa38]

yeah ive only seen 12 inch

[TLplus84]

12 in. isn't that bad...i have a 12 twelve inch and i'm happy with it..:D

[mesa38]

all depends on what type of player you are
up close, you wouldnt use anything bigger then 14 but a back player might use 16/18 ive even seen a couple jumbo 20 inchers

[TLplus84]

im' a drifter..and if i use anything more than a 14 in..i can't get in close enough to bunkers...it really sux..but for back players...long barrels are good.

[ElectricHead]

mines a twelve and it seems ok.. i have never seen it in anyu longer

[TLplus84]

i like the 12 in. Its not too long, and it's not too short...and i guess you don't have a choice with the Lapco cuz that's all it comes in...

[ElectricHead]

yeah i mean its longer than my stock, but not too long so it is just an annoyance... i like it

[TLplus84]

how long was your stock barrel? mine was the same size as my j&j and my lapco, so that's why when i get my Dye SS i'm gonna go for a 14 in.

[ElectricHead]

it was only 9.5, same as the spyder compact, i think the TL has a longer stock barrel, same with the SE and shutter

[TLplus84]

yah..they all have 12 in. ported barrels....i guess for stock..that's pretty good..but eh....it's stock..

[ElectricHead]

yeah, i dont know though... what makes aftermarket barrels suck a big improvement?? i still havent figured it out, the bigshot is nothing fancy like spiral ported or internal rifling, yet it is a huge improvement... can someone explain this to me?

[TLplus84]

i think it's the quality of the barrel. LIke...stock barrels aren't known for quality, but Lapco makes a good barrel with maybe some bore finishing otr something..i donno..

[ElectricHead]

hmmm... maybe thats it, just seems kinda weird to me

[TLplus84]

yep..one of the greatest mysteries in life...along with... what's REALLY in hotdogs? is it Geritol and chewable flintstones vitamins mooshed together? hrmm..

[ElectricHead]

actually (believe it or not) most hot dogs are made from turkey or beef or chicken! no skunk intrails or pig noses at all!

[TLplus84]

really? no dog? or cat? or how bout gerbil? hahaha :eek:
