I feel really stupid for having to ask. Considering the fact that I bought this thing about five years ago as a replacement for my stock barrel, I now find myself with a quandry. I love the barrel, it performs well for me, but I have no clue what this thing is called, or who makes it? I've done web searches and looked through pbreview, but found nothing, hopefully somone here will recognize where this tippmann threaded barrel comes from. It's 13" long, I'm guessing that it's made from aluminum, the bore is coated, it's a two part barrel, the bore widening slightly after about 8", just before the spiral porting begins.

Thanks guys ... I really appriciate the help. To be quite honest, if the barrel works, I like the simple look as opposed to the fancy designs Smart Parts is currently putting on their barrels now. ------------- 'Bring the rain!' http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=165531&PN=5 - New to the game? |

That is the true, original All-American. The true original only came in a non-removable back made in only one bore size (.689, iirc), with no SP markings whatsoever. 2nd gens came with non-removable backs in different, color-coded sizes (only three sizes iirc). As long as the back isn't too beat up, it should work just as well as a current .689 all-american. ------------- M98C- W/QwkStrpCut Comp Air & Palmer Fatty Stab Gas-Thru Stock Lapco Sight Rail W/ADCO 30MM EDOT Qloader W/ CMS Freak SS W/Stif-Tip * Flatline * Armson Stealth |
