barrels.....again

[snowythehobo]

im quite new to the sport, and i got my first gun a few months ago (the standard spyder blow-back semi) and i was contemplating which barrel to get...

1. Teardrop
2. Freak Jnr.

i was wondering if anyone could help me make a decison, or could reccomend another barrel?

thanks

Smart parts progressive barrel:
its shoots very accurate, its very cheap (£30) and it doesnt have the uncleanable holes unlike the tear drop

ok... but i thought the teardrop was better?
and i was worried cos i wudnt b able to change the bore size so wudnt that make it innacurate?
soz bout all questions but i am a n00b, im s'posed to


cheers

well...... i bought a progressive and thought it was excellent, but now ive got a cocker and i use a freak system as i play tournies and we use lots of different size paint
bore systems are good , but are more expensive,

i wouldnt advise a bore system kit for this reason, they are expensive, and you are likely to buy another marker soon which wont have a spyder thread, so u will have to fork out another £40-£50 for a new freak back

Buy yourself something cheap, like the Progressive, or the Xcel or something for your Spyder, and save your money for paint and air so you can practice and get good. Once you get some skill, you're probably going to want to buy a new marker, and then you'll have a really expensive barrel for a marker you no longer own Your best bet would be to wait a little while, hone your skills and save up your money for a new marker and air system.

The first barrel I bought for my first marker was a Dye Xcel barrel.
Followed by a Freak Junior.
