There is no right bore size for the TL+. The correct way to determine what bore size you have is to match the bore of the barrel up to the bore of the paint, not to the type of gun. It all depends on what kind of paint you shoot! If you shoot small paint, the go with something small... yada yada yada.

on my tl plus i had a shot POWERBALL, which is a medium bore paint, thus i have a all-american (black back) that is also medium bore.

find a site that posts a paintball/paintball barrel bore chart (use yahoo)
like silent knight said, there is no right bore size, just match it up to your fave paint
if you use brass eagle, use large bore barrel
medium paint=medium bore, etc

Now I have decided to use their 5 Star paint which is Pro

Ball Platinum that has a high gloss finish, which is a

small bore size of .687, then they recomend a bore size of

.685 in a CP Barrel!!! How can that work????? will it make

it fit nice and snug??? I dont want any ball breaks!!!

!questions! !questions! any info would be appreciated thanx

it's ok to have a snug fit. A good way to test if you have a good match is to put a paintball into your barrel. The paintball shouldn't be tight, and it shouldn't be so small that it'll roll right out. You should be able to blow the paintball out of the barrel with ease. As for their recomendation? It's ok for the paint to be snug a little snug, but not too much. I have never tried that paint with that barrel, so i couldn't reall give you a detailed opinion.
