Go to the BST barrels and pick up an impulse/ion freak kit. You can get an entire kit for probably $80. Freak jr for even less.

The j&j ceramic barrels perform great for the price. I wouldn't bash them until you've used on. They are certainly not low quality. Quite the opposite.

ion threads, 14" barrel is good. don't go any longer than 16"

Yeah J&J's are great barrels, the company has been around for quite a while. Most of their barrels are made out of a ceramic material that is light weight and shoots itself clean of ball breaks very quickly. They may be cheap in price, but they most certainly are not cheap in quality. I have also owned their edge kit which is very nice...

You want good accuracy, then get a barrel kit to match paint/bore. Only way to achieve higer accuracy and consistency with paintballs. Freak Jr. might be the cheapest kit to start with and once you get the inserts you can upgrade to either the full freak, deadlywind kits and all of the various fronts that can be added to the freak backs. As far as length, if shooting HPA no more than 14", if LP (I don't think you will be but who knows?) then 16" is the max.

Since you said you play front/snake then look into maybe 10" or so, would allow for maximum ball acceleration with at least 6" of stabilization. BTW I use a 6" freak insertable barrel on my main marker (not the vibe, sorry ) and it shoots fine enough for closer play. Have a CCM barrel with two sizers on the way though for my vibe!

If anybody knows where i can get a cheap vibe. PM me please!

[Focus02]

They are already inexpensive at $140. Go to any of your favorite PB sites or local shops and pick one up.

[shadowkill]

well i have an ion with a freak
its nice i got the kit for a nice price just look around

but on my vibe you cant go wrong with the classic one piece barrel from CP

you can pick length,caliber,and color for a total of about 40 bucks from the website including shipping

[mr.california]

I personally didnt have a good experience with the progressive barrel because when a ball broke in the barrel it wouldnt clear out very well. The Custom Products 12 inch works great on my vibe!

[allgrownup]

CP is the best for the $$$ On top of that they have lowered their prices, and are now $30, even direct from them!!!

[jamiekerr14]

Hi guys, which out of these would be quieter.. Smart Parts Progressive barrel or linier... or stock? Im thinking of upgrading my stock barrel. What is a realativly inexspensive barrel that is quiet as possible? And if you have a UK link would be amazing thanks.

[shadowkill]

i havent had any experience with the linear so i would say

PROGRESSIVE FTW

[jamiekerr14]

Ok, I think I preffer looks of the progressive... I Want to add some coulor to my setup.. At the mo its all black. I will either order Red Dye Rhine tank cover and Red.......Barrel Or the same in blue. What do you think would look better think blue?? But dont want it to stand out too much for bit of woodsball?? thanks. Is the progressive barrel Quieter than the stock one?

[shadowkill]

blue would be better for red in that case then

just try to get dust

[jamiekerr14]

What do you mean by dust? Like a dust finish so its not a polished finish.?. Do you know if its quieter than the stock barrel, by any chance...

[shadowkill]

im not quite sure if it is seeing i havent tried it on my vibe yet.

but if you get an option for a color to be a gloss color or a dust color choose the dust color because it does have any reflection

[jamiekerr14]

Yea, Will do..

[jamiekerr14]

What tread of the choices will fit my VIBE? http://www.southwestpaintball.co.uk/...hp?Category=43
Has anyone tried the all american? is it quiet.

[shadowkill]

[jamiekerr14]

Ok thanks, Think I will go with one of the Linear or progressive, barrels more in my price range, Thanks for your help

[shadowkill]
