Pros: Durable, very smooth bore
Cons: Heavy by todays standards
This barrel came with my 2k2 Autococker when I bought it way back in 2003/2004. The barrel is one piece, with a stainless steel back and aluminum front (or tip). The smoothness of the bore is excellent (seeing as mine was like new on the inside) and the performance when shooting through breaks is very good.

With that being said, there are a few things that need to be looked at:
  • By today's standards, the barrel is a bit on the heavy side. However, the performance of the barrel in terms of shooting and durability is so good that I overlook the weight issue completely
  • Dye does not make the "Boomstick" anymore. The closest that they make and sell now are Dye UL's which are all aluminum, and are 2 piece now IIRC.

Overall, this barrel is the one I will reach for first. It's been reliable, consistant, and to me it feels sturdy and beefy enough to earn it's title as "Boomstick". I use it on my Autococker and Invert Mini, with no complaints.

Even after all these years, this is the barrel I compare others to.

I had one come with my DM6 in place of a UL. I wasnt upset, and I used the Boomstick for a good while before buying a UL. Boomsticks shoot just as nice as ULs but are just twice as heavy. They are typical, nice barrels from Dye.

Dye Precision Boomstick This barrel is beastly and legendary. For years it was THE barrel to own. I always preferred it's lighter weight all aluminum cousin but the boomstick is awesome.

Dye Precision Boomstick Bought a titanium back used for $45, and still have it over 3 years. Great barrel. Won't switch to anything else for a while.

Every new gun gets this barrel, it is my go-to. And you've got to love the oldschoolness of a titanium boomy.
