Does any one have any thoughts about the new Smart Parts 06 Progressive Barrel. Is it good? Since I have an a-5 with e-grip, do you think if I got a 14 inch, it would be too long while shooting fast? Would I break paintballs?

14" is as long as I'd go. I'm sure it's good.

| It'll probably have the same performance of the previous models, just not the same looks. So it's a decent barrel for the price, although I'd take a Bigshot over it anyday. And 14" is good, although I prefer 12". |

Wow, they definitly look much better. 14" is a good size, but many people here will tell you that you should get the Lapco Bigshot. -------------

I have the 05 teardrop, basically same as progressive only a tad
quieter. excellent barrel, but IMPOSSIBLE to shoot through breaks
(almost never happen) or chops, due to the stepped bore.

Bah, there's a multitude of better barrels for the same price if not cheaper. Ie, Lapco Bigshot (40-50), J&J Ceramic (30-45), and CP 1-Peice (20-35). ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |
