Ok, heres a easy one.....a barrel kit for the C-3.

I was able to field test my c3 today.  It really dosnt like large bore paint.  I took a micrometer to the barrel....685...a bit on the small  side.  When  i put a few rounds of the Rps premium(smaller then the Polar Ice we had)  it improved a bit.

The marker sooo needs a barrel kit...even 3 bores like the Lapco kit would be outstanding.

THanks

They really need to make aftermarket barrels for it. The problem is that not enough people own them to justifiy making barrels. C-3 Barrels are made of composites for a reason, a standard aluminum barrel would overheat. So most manufacturers are straying away from them because the market isn't big enough.

You might want to check your micrometer...   RPS Premium is .689-.690, and I usually use my .691 insert for other paint that I comfortably shot through my C3.  My C3 barrel is at least .690.  I have yet to break a ball in the barrel.
