The Smart Parts Linear Barrels are newer, so they should be commonly available, both new and used. Check out the Places to Buy links below for places to purchase them new.
32 degrees night stick.
It's not as good as a linear.
Marker Setup:
Diablo mongoose II reincarnation LED, 20z co2, Empire reloader, smart parts linear.
Recommended Paintballs:
probably use x ball although i used those and walmart paint
the cheap paint still worked but the x balls hit the same spot from like 30 ft away in a busrt!
Strengths:
Adds a lot of distance to your gun and accurate.
Weaknesses:
Not as good at a far distance but thats not too suprising.
Review:
Not only does the barrel look sweet on a mongoose, but it worked pretty well with most paints. I was picking off heads from at least 30 feet with wall mart paint which is satisfying. I managed to pin down and head shot my buddy who's been playin longer and has a wrath LTD (Wicked gun) from like 40-50 feet with xball. The barrel also cut down on sound and vibration which is good because the mongoose has a lot of vibration. this helped my screws stay in the gun for once and it helped with my hopper issues (the mongoose feed neck is too wide for the Empire reloader stem). In other words, my hopper falls off when i walk the trigger too much. Anyways, the barrel was very good for the price and i would recommend it in a second to any rec player or beginning team player like me.
Conclusion:
Wicked barrel especially for the price. If you need a new barrel and are short on cash, definitely buy one. It works with almost all paints!

Review:
The Smart Parts 14" Linear Barrel is a great buy. Its only 30$ and ir performs very well. When shooting your Marker, it is very accurate with this barrel. This Barrel does not add any distance to the ball just accuracey. Im getting a Flatline instead because of the Range and accuracey. If you have the Money get a Flatine, if you dont got the cash definentaly pick up the 14" Smart Parts Linear Barrel.
Conclusion:
Overall this is a great barrel and I reccomend picking it up if you are low on cash and need a Barrel.

Smart parts Linear 14" barrel
Recommended Paintballs:
Diablo nightmare
Strengths:
Accuracy. Accuracy and Quiet
Weaknesses:
There is a lot of drop at the end the barrel's range.
Review:
I play primarily woods ball. The BT-4 I currently own is the first I have owned. This is also the first barrel I have purchased. That being said I am a former Marine and accuracy and consistency is very important to me. This barrel gave me both. I also gauge the performance of this barrel by the comments of the other players. After the first game I got allot of questions: " What did you pay for that barrel" "30" "your kidding". There was allot of comments on the accuracy, like balls flying though spaces repeatedly that you don't normally see. Really more like complaints than comments. Anyway I don't think I could have done better, especially if you factor the cost. Inexpensive does not mean bad! I highly recommend this barrel.
Conclusion:
You will not be disappointed if you purchase this barrel. Why not it's only $30.

Review:
Well I went to a paintball park where i never had been before this weekend. Tired of my stock gun i bought a few ups. This barrel was one of them. I played speed ball with my friends i usually shot up 2000 balls in a day just so i could hit whatever i am shooting at. My stock barrel stinks. I used about 300 balls in 3 hours of on field play i would be able to hit the other team as they were setting up on the field while i was running to the bunker of choice. I love this barrel it will improve your game greatly for a minimum amount of doe. There is no doubt where it is going. Oh yeah i was using white box paint. Every ball had a dimple still shot great but a few were uncorrectable. I also had Mosterballs by BRASS EAGLE HA HA HA Cheap woods ball paint!! IT SHOT IT GREAT EVERY SHOT ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER. I usually shoot three shot burst just to make sure i get them but with this ONE SHOT KILL EVERY TIME. VERY CONSTANT. Thanks Smart Parts!!
Conclusion:
Great low price barrel buy it. Gave it a ten on performace

Review:
I have been playing allot of paintball from the past few weeks and this barrel has helped me allot with aiming and actually hitting some people.
When i had the stock it was a drag.. it would curve and jump and do everything u didn't want it to do so i bought this barrel and it has been great for me.
Conclusion:
Great and I think that if you have a tippmann this is great for it. :)

Review:
Im a woodsball sniper, and for the job I do, I had to create my own custom barrel in my shed using spyder pards and pvc. That barrel I made worked for my one-shot purpose, but sometimes the consistency of the accuracy declined when I would go for some backup shots or bursts.
I needed a barrel that would give me the silence, accuracy, and consistency I needed for my role. When I saw the Small Parts Linear, I realized that it had to be a good barrel because of its efficient design.
When I tried it out, not only did it work, but it worked very well.
From 30-40 feet, and even greater distances, I could easily calculate the arc of the paintball to take out my targets with single shots. There is relitively little wobble or right to left drifting of the paintball, so it made the perfect barrel for sniping. Even my custom muzzle break (which reduces sound and smoke even more) fit on the tip.

Review:
I bought this thing for 35 bucks and it was the best buy of my life. the stock barrel is blown out of the water by this thing. i had a target set up about 30 yards away with a slight breeze right to left. all my ball were about 3 inches off the center to the left. only one was way off and that was during a gust of wind. this barrel is crazy good. go out and buy it now. the best part is they make them good for just about any marker.

Review:
I just got this a while back for only $30, so as you can imagine I was very excited about the price. It looks awesome on my custom pro e. I haven't chopped one ball yet out of about 900 rounds. It quieted my gun down a bit, so that's always a plus. I was shooting at a 4x4 fencepost and a couple of cows and it seems like the paint always ends up right around the same place. I also noticed that the inside of the barrel is very slippery, so that probably helps with speed. At first it was a little awkward having such a long a barrel on such a long gun, but i got used to it and it feels really balanced now. Great upgrade for tippys.
Conclusion:
I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a good, solid performing barrel at a good, solid price.

Review:
So I'm at my paintball store lookin for a new barrel to improve my accuracy. I was pretty convinced that i wanted to buy the All American. But a man in the store said that I could get the same results with the linear. So considering the linear was about $50 cheaper, I bought it. The next week i took it out to the feild to give it a go. It worked great! I don't know if it is as good as the All American, but i was able to put about 6-8 balls within 3 inches of each other from 50 yards away. During a few games though, balls got jammed in the middle part of the barrel. But i just took the barrel off and flicked the paintballs out and it worked.
Conclusion:
Overall, I'am very pleased with this barrel. If you don't want to pay through the nose to improve your accuracy, get this up grade. Just make sure you don't use .693 paint!
