Which of these three is better?  If you don't know what the Smart Parts is, I just copied the name off 888paintball.com; Here's link. http://www2.888paintball.com/product.asp?plid=BARRELS&ic id=A5&scid=14&csid=322673551097784848299795063410979 69529818670409760&code=18%2D1%2D2%2DSPT+C%2FB+14+BK& xt=br

I have a "classic" Smart Parts 16" and a Lapco 8" Big Shot, talk about extremes. Both are good barrels, but I like my trusty SP better, at least for woodsball. But since neither barrel I have is 14," guess the weight of my response is lessened. Whatever. Either one is a winner as long as you match paint.

Lapco all the way. Nice barrel, excellent price, just make sure to get a sock as a standard plug won't fit.

Well, Looks like Lapco is winning.  I think I'll probably get that for my a-5. Well, when i get my a-5 that is.

I say Smart Parts as well, but that is an All-American not a progressive.
