I am just getting my gun in the mail and I was wondering which barrel should I buy for it......or which would have great accuracy and durability at a good price.........I mean I WOULD get a boomstick but I mean I really don't feel like spending over a hundred for it.........I was looking at a SmartParts Stainless Steel barrel which looks nice but I am not sure......... any Spyder TL+ owners out there could help me out......... what barrel works great for you??????
Thanx~

I'd say go for a J&J ceramic or Lapco bigshot. 50 each.

I agree, the lapco is real nice and the J&J is equally as good, the Boomstick is overpriced but I love it, I have heard some bad things about it but I couldn't be more pleased with mine, it outshoots the ceramic in accuracy (smaller shot group) however if you break a ball in the boomstick you'll be pissed. No matter what anyone tells you IT WILL NOT CLEAR AFTER A JAM, get a good squeegie. I've heard from a lot of people that they prefer the J&J ceramic over the boomstick so either my boomstick turned out above average or my J&J barely sqeaked by quality control. Either way all three are great barrels.

For me the 32 Degrees Carbon Fiber barrel worked well. If you search well enough you can find it for 75$
A damn fool

Dye barrels are great, but over priced... go for a CP, J&J, or a lapco

Hey Smart ball, the Stone Cold and Windfore are made by Taso, not Lapco. lapco makes the AUtospirit and the Big Shot, which are GReAT barrels. Loud, but dead nuts accurate. I also LOVe my JJ Ceramic. It's quiet and accurate, and has pretty good shoot through capabilities when you break a ball. hehe just htought you might wanna know that. :D
