depends on what your budget is really,

if you got cash to throw around then go for freak set,
if you got little cash then go for lucky

at the end of the day they both do the same job!!

or just sell the ion, and the money you were gona waste for the barrel set, put the cash to buy an ego, the shaft barrel on it is awesome

Lucky simply because if and when you change your marker £10 buys you the new thread adaptor and get to keep your barrel selection.

John C will sort you out.

If you drop or damage the freak inserts you will be goosed and a new freak back is a lot more expensive.

I guarantee you they will shoot exactly the same.

Dusty do you use a lucky barrel? if i do get one whats the best sizes to start with
0.693, overboreing but will shoot anything. If you shoot one type of paint and you know its a certain size (i.e. hellfire is sub 0.684 i think and tomahawk classic sub 0.689) they get the bore to match your paint but going the size up will sort you out and allow you to shoot any paint.

Not at the minute, i am using the stock barrel on the Ego7.

I have used them before, and as Bob rightly says go with a 0.693. if your doesn't paint fit, you are firing beach balls.

too small a barrel and your paint will smash to bits, too large and it will shoot just fine.

possibly a little irregular over the chrono, but if the paint is anywhere near decent quality you will be fine.
