Many people complain about the fact that with the "stock" APEX barrel, you can only turn it one way, or it unscrews from the marker.  I've come up with a simple solution, even though this problem wasn't much to complain about in the first place.

Basically, if you pay any attention to the piece of metal and plastic you payed $140 for, you'd realise it's held together with 4 screws. If you unscrew the two back screws VERY SLIGHTLY, it loosens it enough to spin freely and easily, while still being held well enough to not move on it's own.

I know this is an obvious solution, but because of all the complaints I've seen that it only turns one way, I figured I may as well share it.  Some of you have probably thought of this befor me.

Enjoy :)
