Stainless is supposed to be self lubrictaing, also lighter and a little more resilient to damage. I would recommed 10" or 12". ------------- Team Salem, Kuwait 08 |

Stainless is smoother and much more durable. Get the 12 inch. |

The accuracy difference is almost unnoticeable. Just get the Aluminum ones, and take care of them. |

No. I have heard that longer Freaks break a lot of paint. |

I would go 12" Aluminum. Anything over 12 is a waste and anything under
10 is usualy too small. Check out the uber post in upgrades and
customizing for more info.

One of my favorite sites that has a lot of barrels is http://www.actionvillage.com - www.actionvillage.com . Heres a gun that has the freak barrel on it... http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Popup;sid=Ik6imEJPJruiUgA_EQhiMEiGan0mGNlNTN0=?ProductSKU=010-112-0031 - http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/S tore/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Popup;sid=Ik6imEJPJr uiUgA_EQhiMEiGan0mGNlNTN0=?ProductSKU=010-112-0031 . This is the stainless steel front which you can also get in black. The front of the barrel also has a little hole in it so you can see the color of the insert. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |
