Vanguard/Lucky Untitec barrels?

I was wondering that since KEE has bought Vanguard will the barrels become more available. ANS has a VERY limited selection. I emailed Vanguard about this question a few days ago but have yet to see a response. My ultimate choice for barrels are the Unitecs and would like to see someone with a wider selection in stock.
Anyone have any input?

I see that the vanguardus.net sight has barrels for sale but the barrel fronts alone are twice the price of a complete back and front from ANS and they are also very limited in their selection. What's the deal with that?

https://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?t=3660711 ....that is to hopefully clarify why the price is different

as to barrels, its all preference...as long as you get auto cocker thread your fine..but do research as to how a barrel may effect your sound signature and what have you

Dude, I've been using the unitecs since they came out at the 06 chicago open. I don't need a lesson on sound signature. The other help is much appreciated.
Actually the your thread is where I got the link for vanguardus.net. See? I read thru the threads. It's just that link did not answer my question?

Thank you.

Well, the fact is you kinda have what i'm looking for but since your prices are waaaaaay off from ANS. I'm no different from anyone else who pays for their gear on their own. I hate to put you guys on the spot with these prices but with such a huge difference I'm gonna have to wait and see if ANS will get anymore in stock. I apologize for being a cheap bastard but Surely you understand.

Thank you sir

Ya I checked the other thread. Thank you.
I'm still gonna have to hold off, The price is still a little high for me. I really appreciate your input. Myself and another guy have been using the Unitecs and praise them to everyone. We've converted a few people even some that use UL barrels. UL barrels are by far the most overestimated chunks of highpriced crap on the market. Unitecs are the only barrels produced in years that actually make a difference. They help increase efficiency and accuracy simply due to the constant bore sizing throughout the length of the barrel.

I believe the Reason why ANS barrels are so cheap is because they are trying to liquidate all their stock. As you can see they also say on other Vanguard items that they will never be in stock.

Why do people do this wanna-be hk thing? I mean hk people dont even play paintball, they just whine and start drama while wearing the ugliest stuff. Seriously you find light blue and pink to be attractive colors for your parents 1500 dollar investment (your gun/marker)? If you want to whine keep it off the field and save it for the internet; O wait! THATS EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO! Haha, if you don't play then don't whine.


Sell me your G6R (and Halo) upgrades/parts, because you wont get anything for them if you sell/trade them with the gun.
