inserts are made for like a freak barrel , you put the inserts in the end of the barrel. Their are different sizes for different paint sizes. The better the paint maches the barrel insert , the better the accurcy and the better the efficiency(sp). And yes Ions have impulse threads. I think the freak has all the inserts and the freak jr has less inserts. -------------

Well, the Freak and Freak Jr. are the exact same barrel, the only real difference is the front half. All inserts will work on a Freak Jr. The inserts are nice incase you are forced to buy a different type of paint that would normally fit your barrel. If you get a Freak though, it is a good idea to invest in the Stainless Steel inserts, as they are smoother and stronger than the Aluminum ones. ------------- Overshooting, America's greatest pastime. |

^^Didn't paint it??? Well anyway, the stock Ion barrel is .689 (medium bore). So any medium ball will work well. Look here for the size of different balls http://www.ottersccustoms.com/paintc.html - http://www.ottersccustoms.com/paintc.html . ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |
