i have a 98 custom, i was wondering what kind of barrel i should get for better accruacy and overall performance?

i know i will eventually need something to help co2 consistency,

im wondering if just a remote line or expansion chamber will do

The Lapco Bigshot is an awesome barrel, pick one up at http://www.countypaintball.com - www.countypaintball.com (great site, I order from them all the time, so does most of this forum).

I don't like remotes myself but an X-core 8stage expansion chamber will help you out a lot, county sells those as well.

so that barrel and e pansion chamber the gun should be pretty accurate?
what else would i need for the expansion chamber to work?

Im getting this 18" sniper barrel from opsgear.com here is the link http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.322764/sc.14/categ ory.535/it.A/id.2648/.f
it looks good and they got a demo of how im going to be setting up my gun and how the gun is accurate at 150' so it looks pretty good to me. if u dont like that barrel they got others too for tactical setups if ur into that stuff

You will also need a vertical adaptor for the expansion chamber to work. Dominator your link doesn't work, but after 8"-10" barrel length does nothing to help you know that right?

Meh, I don't care for anything from opsgear with the word "sniper" in it.

So it is more for looks and not performance?
