Review:
My friend got this barrel off Action Village for a decent price of fifty dollars. The inserts help alot with different paint but use nelson its best. The two pieces are cool so you can take other fronts or backs and add them on as long as there smart parts. Plus the barrel looks really cool. It shoots straight and is light feeling for a big two piece.

Review:
Pros: Very Accurate As Long As There Is No Paint In The Barrel, Shot Pattern In The Same Basic 3 Inches Left Or Right At the Target,The Bore Inserts Are Interchangable So Good For Paint Matching.
Cons: Paint In The Barrel It Shoots Like There Is No Barrel,Other Than That None.
Conclusion:
It Is Bad When U Get Paint In The Barrel Other Than That It's Great And Affordable I Recomend It If You Dont Have Money For The Freak I Also Recomend The Insert Kit.

12" Terminator(good accuracy, bad distance)
16" Nyte Stick(the best I have used)
Marker Setup:
Smartparts Ion, 48ci 3000PSI, eVLution w/ y board, drop forward, 14" freak jr.
Recommended Paintballs:
so far Zap REC series works good
Strengths:
Accuracy, versatiltiy
Weaknesses:
Distance
Review:
The freak jr. is pretty good. Definately good accuracy. But the distance is lacking. I have a 16" 32 degrees nyte stick on my 98c and I get way better distance out of it. Fot the money the Nyte Stick is the best value I have found. Although I have not tried all of the inserts, the paint I was using seemed to match up pretty good.
Conclusion:
If you can find a 32 degrees Nyte Stick, I think it is alot better than the freak jr. If I can find one for my Ion or an adapter I'm gonna get one.

Review:
Well, I got this barrel because the stock barrel on the spyder is crappy. When I first got it, I was impressed with the accuracy. It is a two piece so it is easy to clean. It also looks awesome when you have an all black imagine with a black barrel.
It also has some weaknesses. It is hard to find paint of this bore size. It is kind of loud too.
Conclusion:
If you want a nice barrel and an easy upgrade for your marker get this barrel

Review:
Great barrel, you can get these in cool placs on ebay for about 90$, its well worth it. The barrel is pretty queit, and if oyu have good paint in this barrel it will fly almost perfect, your ropes will fall one on top of the other. It looks really cool and helps with the intimidation factor on the field with my team. I would say that you should buy it, just be carefule with the insert so you dont break them.
Conclusion:
I have it for my ion and I love it. If you have a brain you should buy it. It is so much better then almost every barrel on the market.

Review:
I got this barrel when i got my ion for about $95 for the kit. i was gonna get the freak barrel kit but it was so much more so the guy at the shop said the freak was just has good. i thought it looked better then the freak butthats just me. When i first shot it, i was amazed how quiet it was. also my field is house paint so you can just change the bore sizes to fit the paint you use. In my backyard, i shot from about 70 feet away from my fence and at 15bps the shots were about 5-7 inches apart.
Conclusion:
Buy it. its a great barrel, definitly buy if your a tourny player and you need to match bore sizes.
Dye Boomstick - very nice
Freak barrel - tips are nicer, but you can always buy those for the Freak Jr.
CP barrels - nice for the price
J&J - very good for the price

Recommended Paintballs:
This barrel is pretty picky with paint. I recommend higher quality paint. My favorite paint is Scorch. I can't use a lot of the extreme high quality because my tippmann will chop.
Strengths:
Price
Accuracy
Weaknesses:
Picky with paint
The look of the tip sucks
Review:
I got this barrel because I wanted a barrel kit that was cheap, and that I could add on to. This was the answer. This barrel was cheap and worth the money. My friend bought a CP 2-piece, and the Freak Jr. is more accurate. This barrel is extremely picky with paint, but if you just buy the good stuff at tournies, then you will be fine.
Conclusion:
Overall, this barrel is a good buy and great for the money.

Review:
I like this barrel. I have had it for a while now and i have yet to use any other bore size than the .689. Otherwise its a good barrel. When i did the research about this barrel it says on the smartparts website that it is the freak little bro and it gives you all the funtionality of the original without eating your wallet alive. I really didn't believe it until i got it.
