ok vagabond has put his Armson Stealth Barrel up for sale for £30, but i can also get a boomie for the same price off my friend, i have heard great things about both barrels, and if i could afford both i'd get em both, but i cant i can only get one. i was just wondering, which would be the better barrel for my money?

i was thinking boomie, but i just wasnt sure how good the stealth was in comparison, vagabonds gonna hate me for keep saying "i may take that off you" then i get offered other parts and have to turn him down :(

Don't worry dude. I hear good things about the Boomstick too. The Boomie has a MSRP that's about double that of a Stealth so it would definitely be the better deal but the .688 bore might be a bit tight for your cheaper rec ball paints out there.

get boomie. btw i have a .684-5 barrel on my bushy and find it will take most paints. the only time i could not use it is when i had some 6 to 8 month old zap to use up (1/2 a box) so had to use
a .688 bore barrel and it was fine.

Cool. I confered with Bloody Whisper today and he said he usually uses the .685 insert (or there abouts) in his Freak when we play at the walk on days. So I guess .688 would be more than sufficient. Get the Boomie like everyone says, dude! :D
