The tighter the better

If you stick the paintball into the insert a little and you cannot see light around the edges, then that is the best fit. So I would try a .679 and see how that works. If it breaks go to a size larger. Good luck. :rolleyes:

The "blow" test is when you open a new box of paint, try dropping a few balls down the insert. If they all drop through freely, the insert is too big. If they lodge somewhere in the insert, try blowing gently down it to free the ball. If the ball passes through without you going red in the face from blowing hard, it should be around the right size. Remember though to try a few balls not just one, as even in the same bag there can be some slight variation. Not too bad if you end up with an oversized insert that just means less accuracy & consistency, but a disaster if the insert is too small.
Try to get someone with a Freak to show you & remember - if in doubt go up a size rather than down.

The best are usually .689 and .691. I only use blaze and sometimes midnight so they are the only two I really use.

I have 3 barrels at the moment and when I got my marker and kit 2nd hand off these very foru,s I never got my bore sizes, I was just wondering if there is any way in which you can test how big the bore size is on the barrel.

If it matters the two barrels I want to know the sizes for are Dye Boomstick and an All American for my Mag.

Thanx

Also they both fire Blaze/Zap fine but I would still like to know the sizes.
