What bore barrel backs should i get?

So the stock NT comes with .688 correct? I live in colorado and play outside in temps any where from 45 to 90 degrees. I am also going to get my nT annodized purple and want to have the extra backs annodized as well I am thinking about .684 and .692 should I get any others?

those three sound ok to me, just get what fits the paint in your area.

Most people on here will say underbore your paint for best sound and accuracy. Id say go with the two you picked if your paint has a tendancy to be large bore. Ive never actually used over a .688, so .684 is a solid choice regardless.

Get a .679. Anything bigger will yield an overbore with 75% of paint today.

.688 and .684 are the only ones you will need.... Paint won't be getting any bigger for at least 3 more years... Companies just wan to save $$$ on shipping and materials. I shoot Formula 13, Premium, Diablo Heat, DXS (Silver, Gold, and Bronze), XO Industries Spectrum, All Star, and Ultra Evil and I have no problem using a .684 for all of those paints.

Most of those paints you listed will roll through a .684 though, so if you want to underbore then you're going to need something a bit smaller.

There's a reason the default barrel back is .688. It is a good size for most paint and isn't significantly over or under bored -- you really want neither. If you want other backs, the .684 and .692 would be the standard choices. I shoot evil and have no problem with the .688 standard back. The bore matches well.
