if it was the best then surly enough there would be no market for improved/performace barrels as there is a market and as people do replace the standard barrel that is evidance alone that there is room for improvment is it not?

Ive used stock eclipse barrels past couple years. Recently got hold of a sly infamous sly barrel just for looks ;)

Good consistent paint = better accuracy :)

not really. there was some tests a while back using different types of paint with different types of barrels, and the results came back that theres really no difference at all between them. if you think that a barrel performs better than another one then you will do all you can to convince yourself that it does.

Really speaking, assuming the barrel has a consistent polish on all surfaces and isn't bent, then it will shoot straight.

Then you have varying degrees of prting, which may or may not make a barrel quieter than another.

Then you have the bore size and how it matches to the paint.

Some people swear by a large barrel like a .693 as generally nothing will get stuck, so you won't get breakages that way. If you were a front player, this could be applicable.

So your accuracy would really come from how round your paint is, then, how well it fits your barrel for consistent shots.

This is why multiple back sizes were introduced, so that you could match your nice round paint, to a barrel.

I had a Redz barrel set and it was very nice. 5 backs and 3 fronts.
I sold that with another gun and have an SL barrel kit, also very nice.

They are about £100 new, so see if you can get one second-hand or perhaps as has been suggested, try a Unitec or Redz etc.
