new barrel or no

I cant decide if i should get a new barrel or keep my 3 yr old night stick..with the night stick i can make about a 20 in pattern from 70 ft. and there is no way in hell that this barrel could shoot through a break....im using this barrel for speedball, the night sticks a 16 in, but if i get a new one it gunna be 14 in

EDIT: Please explain your choice

I would suggest a 12" Lapco Bigshot.

I love my JJ Ceramic. They shoot very nicely and are cheap.

Alright, the JnJ's are ok, but having used both the LAPCOs are better in every respect except for noise. The only reason I would reccomend against a loud barrel that is more accurate than a quite one is if you have sensitive ears or neighbors that will be freaked out by you practicing.

As for the Nite Stik, the quality of them is kinda all over the place. I've seen some that perform as well as the JnJ, some that break every other ball.

I'm going to say go with a LAPCO barrel. This isn't just because Colin thompson posts here occasionally and the forum has a hard on for his products, simply, he makes very good barrels. the inside of the bigshot is like a mirror, my JnJ has obvious machine marks, but is slightly better polished where it counts.

Now, if you only want one good barrel, get the bigshot, it will shoot just about anything well, and good paint extreamly well. However, I'd say since it fits the same role as the nite stick, just better, you might want something different. I'd suggest a LAPCO snap shot. Either get the kit, or buy one with a back that's closest to the paint you usually shoot. .689" is pretty good all around and will give you minimum problems with all paint, but if you shoot smaller paint, get one with a different back. With that barrel you can buy different backs to match your paint and get the best accuracy, and not spend too much to start.

Stole the words out of my mouth. Anyone who says the J&J Ceramic is the best barrel out there certainly hasnt used anything else.

Use whatever bore size fits you.

Autospirit is small bore, bigshot is medium.

I'd suggest the bigshot unless you play major tournaments.
