| It is as strong as steel but only 1/3rd the weight. The air rifled carbon fiber gray barrel is attached to an aluminum base or a micro-polished stainless steel base. Available for the Spyder, Autococker, Automag, Angel & the Prolite. Available in 10, 12 or 14 inch lengths. |

|
| The 32 Degrees Carbon Fiber Barrel is older, so while it may be available used and in a few cases new, it is not commonly available anymore. |

light
sort of accurate
cleans itself |

at times, it curves terribly. the base of the barrel doesnt clean itself |
|
| Review: |
when i was using this barrel, i noticed something. at times, the barrel shot perfectly straight, it was completely flawless. but like 1/3 of the time, the shots would curve to the left or down. and the barrel does clean itself, but not the base of the barrel, so it is still sort of inaccurate when it breaks a ball |
|
| Conclusion: |
buy this barrel if you got the right paint for it. but it still might be inaccurate |

|
| Review: |
This barrel is not worth the money if you are paying retail. Both my stock barrels ( the victor II stock, TL stock) shoot further and straighter than it. It is more accurate than the stocks though. For autocockers it might be different, but i've never shot an autococker with the carbon fiber barrel on it. This is from the perspective of someone who owns a spyder. With everything stock, the barrel is useless.. besides, why would you spend that much money on a spyder.. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get a broomstick. This thing is cheap. Cleans out paint because it breaks paint... Try it first. If the stock barrel is average, and average = 5... then.. |

Light at tip super heavy back. Fairly quiet, but nothing to brag about. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Accuracy (horrible), Cleaning is a pain, not made with the best quality. |

| Review: |
This barrel couldn't hit the side of a barn from inside. The company also claims that after a paint break the barrel regains 90% of its accuracy after 3 clear out shots. First of, what accuracy? and secondly, It could barely recover itself even after extensive squegeeing. Quite frankly i would take my spyder stock barrel or even worse for that matter over this pos barrel. I really dont like the freak system, but this barrel makes it look like a miracle. All the freak lovers out there must have owned one of these barrels at one time. |
|
| Conclusion: |
No matter what the local pro shop guy tells you, its absolute crap. I got pulled in by a guy who claimed it was super accurate, but i found that terribly wrong. If your going to buy a barrel in the same price range, get an All American or other SP/Dye barrel. Dont get stuck with this barrel, it was the worst barrel in the list above that ive ever owned. |

| Review: |
I like how this barrel is light,strong and hot. If I had a choice between the UL barrel and this, I would choose this barrel.This is ALOT Cheaper than the UL barrel, the FREAK,FREAK Jr. etc. I recommend that you get this for and wb/ tourny guns because of accuracy,weight and more. So get this at your local store. |

Read Review for recommendation and reasn why. |

| Review: |
I like it know I didn't at first but soon realized with some volocity adjustments this thing is quite accurate. I use it on my Tippmann but have also used it on my Syndicate Misfit and Spyder Rodeos. I like its consistency and it range and remains very accurate over 40 yards wich is huge in the way I play. I am a tweener I can play back but prefer mid range to short and this thing is very nice for that. I prefer this barrel over any other 32 degrees barrel and almost as much as my boomstick but not quite that good. Boomstick is all it is hyped to be but the price is insane if you keep your eyes opon you can snipe one on ebay for under 40 wich is well worth it in my opinion. This barrel is far superior then most barrels especially anything stock. Highly Recomend |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good Price, Good Product. This is my rankings of barrels I will leave out the Flatline just because that barrel can be good if it fits your style. (#5 Empire Twister, #4 32 Degrees Ice Cold, #3 32 Degrees Carbon Fiber, #2 J&J Pro 1 Piece, #1 Boomstick) The Carbon Fiber and Pro 1 Piece are about a tie and both work nicely, J&J gets the nod for being ceramic and ability to shoot through breaks even though I only have had one it can be huge when playing. |

I got this because i knew i needed a new barrel for my spyder, with my stock barrel and 20 oz. co2, the paint was flying every where, so i found this barrel online for $40 and got it. i get compliments on it all the time where i play. |

| Conclusion: |
This barrel is the best barrels you can get for >50 bucks |

| Review: |
I bought this barrel from 888 paintball and it works great, every ball was dead accurate, but also consistent, 1 ball broke ( i had my crappy bolt in it) and it really did self clean, not one ball shot inaccurate after that ball broke, overall its pretty insane, i think that this is the perfect barrel |
|
| Conclusion: |
I recommend u buy it if u don't want to wast time cleaning ur barrel and having ur gun inaccurate |

| Review: |
My first aftermarket barrel I bought around a year ago. I dunno where they're pulling this $90 price tag from on this site, I got mine for just under $30 with S&H. A very quite barrel, accurate enough to make my Red Dot worthwhile, and cheap.
I am ashamed to say I bought into the hype of the Apex and tried to replace this barrel with it. The Apex failed miserably, and was soon happily resold, and I was back to this great barrel.
A great first or even final upgrade to your marker. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it. Because. |

| Review: |
Tried many other barrels and this barrel stands far above the rest , we play in some colder weather when balls are more appt to break, makes for an easy day when you know your barrel does the work for you, has a very soft sound to it when fired, would buy this barrel again and recomend it to my buddies |
|
| Conclusion: |
Best barrel to buy for the ease of cleaning and no down time on the field |
