Im after a new barrel for my Etek3, but im unsure which barrel or kit to go for.
So far ive been told that the SP Freak kit will be best but just want some suggestions.
Anyone used this kit with an Etek 3 and had problems/no problems?
Or if there are any other barrels to recommend please let me know, thanks.

Just asking, didnt want to make same post. Is the dye barrels are fit on etek3? I know its a same thread, but do you need tip&back or dye tip will fit on etek3 back? I wish to have the dye ul barrels in camo color on my etek3 if its possible.

Is there anything wrong with the stock barrel. No point replacing the barrel if it's doing what you want it to....

No, nothing wrong, just would like to have one with camo colour, my etek is grer/black, my rotor is dycam, so was thinkin about to get something similar coloured barrer. Or might just gonna put some camo tape on, it shouldn't effect it.

The dye tip only fits on a dye back and same goes to any eclipse tip and back. You can't mix em both. :)

The SP freak kit is good if you want easy bore switches. I would recommend looking at unitech barrels as well as its relatively easier to find. But if youre mind is set on getting a freak kit, have a look at deadly wind fibur barrel (if you have the cash and willing to spend on a barrel). Its a carbon fibre barrel which uses the same freak kit as SP barrels but its better imo. :)
