From what I've heard Stiffi's are great barrels but a little expensive new. If you're looking for the best bang for the buck get a Lapco Bigshot.

Stiffies are not the quietest, I promise you. But they're good barrels. Freak, Ultralite, CP, Stiffi... All good ones. |

stiffies can become rather hazardsome in the future if you clean the barrel and some fibre strands come off... get either a Smart Parts or Dye barrel

The one that is attached to a Matrix. Barrels will only quiet your gun down so much. |

The one with the most porting, usually. The stiffi has minimal porting. |

@Clark Kent,
I realize that, but don't have the funds to switch to a different marker. @hybrid-sniper, I figured that as well, but I've heard that the porting on the stiffi is special and actually does a better job of quieting than barrels with more porting. Don't know for sure, just what I've heard. I've got a 14" J&J Ceramic and I really like, but I am always looking for ways to make my marker quieter without sending a check to ATF for a silencer ;) |

Maybe it does: I'm no expert in this field. I just know that fewer holes usually means more noise. |

if i had a ion, i would keep everything smart parts, like id get a smart parts drop and other ups for it from them, id get an AA barrel, they shot throught breaks and clean themselves pretty much. |

Yeah, but dude, Smart Parts is a good company that knows what they're doing. Besides, they make some truly awesome gear. (Ion, Impulse, Shocker, Nerve, All American, Freak, and Teardrop.)
