The only barrel that is reatily available to me right now that is in my price rang ($40-$80) is the Smart Parts: Progressive barrel. What is your opinion of it? It is being sold for $49.99. My requirements are the best accuracy for that price range and I need to get a better barrel cause all I have is the stock barrel on a custom pro.

Meh, get a J&J or a Lapco Bigshot. Both are in your price range, and are 10x the barrel the progressive is.

If your price range goes up to $80, get a Smart Parts All American. It's expensive, but worth it. If you're looking to go cheaper, go with a Bigshot or JJ. For $50, the Progressive is not worth it.

ok thank you, I am considering getting the all american now, though where it is available to me it is $100+ the only reason I don't get the JJ or bigshot is becuase I can't find anywhere to guy them (either than from the site = convertion to canadian and shipping) but Ill keep looking thanks for the advice.

98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig.

Progressive barrels are ok for the money. New they run $35-40, and they come stock on Impulses. I did replace mine, but for rec play they shoot fine with a good paint to barrel match.
I would recomend saving up $70 and buying a pipe mini kit, 3 backs and a front. The Pipe shoots great and looks nice if you care for cosmetics. |

Pipe mini kit would be better than all of those in my opinion, it is in a way like the freak, letting you size the barrel to your paint. Out of your three, I like the ultralight. However, it also depends on what paint you usually use so that you get a good paint to barrel match.

i have used progressives, all americans, evil pipes, and redz pepper
sticks. of all them i liked how the pepper stick shot the best and
looks really nice to. only problem is the lack of thread choices so as
long as you have a 98c you can get that for about 35 U.S.

Any barrel kit. Most barrel kits shoot about hte smae depending on the numer of inserts... and so on and so forth. But for you I would get the Lapco Bigshot 12" |
