I know I always reccomend the J&J barrel but I need a new barrel for my cocker and I was thinking about one of these. http://www.specialopspaintball.com/shop/product_detail.asp?SKU=220+0030 - http://www.specialopspaintball.com/shop/product_detail.asp?S KU=220+0030 I cant decide if I want one of these or a J&J kit. Any input? ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

imo, i think that barrel is ugly and it's by spec ops, go with a stiffi or a j&j kit. -------------

I had 3 barrels for my Sniper: a Stiffi, a CP, and the stock barrel. I played with all of them and I really didn't notice a difference between the Stiffi and CP other than weight. I just sold my Stiffi. If I were you, I'd go with the JJ Kit. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Yes, I'm ignoring the "close thread" notice. I'm a rebel what can I say. I rip the tags off of mattresses and take 11 items into the 10 items or less line at the supermarket as well. thejudge, I use the J&J kit on one of my Autocockers and have been quite pleased with it. (Especially since the stock barrel let the paint roll right out.) -------------

I used one and liked it alot too (I borrowed a friends) the only thing that sucked was he only had the smallest back and my paint was a lil too big especially in the cold but the shots that didnt break flew perfectly.

Honestly I am not sure thats why I asked on here. It says that they partnered with Stiffi so they cant be too bad. I like the look with the tips and a shroud personally but I know and love the performance of the J&J barrel. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

Frankly I wouldn't get a SpecOps barrel. Partially because of how awesome my Lapco is ( ) and partially because I really don't want to support that company in any way. Though mostly because of how awesome the Lapco is.

I like my J & J barrels. Have the 12" for my A-5 and Automag, and a 14" for my Pro/Am. I may consider a J & J kit for the A-5 somewhere down the line when I can afford it (or hide it from the wife). ------------- A-5 Armson DOT Sight Armson Raised Sightrail DOP Bullet Drop DOP RVA DOP X-Core DOP Vertical Adapter E-Grip(APE) Flatline Barrel HPA JCS Duel Trigger Lightening Bolt QEPH Vortex Mod |

Hiding it is not necessary. You just have to maintain an innocent expression while saying the following phrases: "What new barrel?" "That old thing, I've had it forever." If that doesn't work change the subject by asking her if she's put on weight. Note: Mack accepts no responsibility for the possible negative consequences of following the above advice. -------------

Boy, did I get the stink-eye when that 68 Special AND the Ariakon 2.0 ACP landed on the porch a couple of weeks apart from each other. ------------- A-5 Armson DOT Sight Armson Raised Sightrail DOP Bullet Drop DOP RVA DOP X-Core DOP Vertical Adapter E-Grip(APE) Flatline Barrel HPA JCS Duel Trigger Lightening Bolt QEPH Vortex Mod |
My wife works odd ours during the week while I work 3rd Shift. It is hard to schedule a delivery from online purchasing when she is at her office. For instance. I desperately want to buy a J & J barrel for my newly acquired 68 Special, but the only place I can get it from is countrysports.com. The only way I can think of getting around it, is having it sent to my brother or folks that live an hour away. I'm screwed. Or - I won't be if another package with my name shows up on the front step...
