ok, i have a spyder java compact 2 in 1 and i'm looking to buy a new barrel. i don't want to spend anymore than about $40. what brands are good and also what size is better 14" or 16"? i've seen some pretty good prices on ebay for custom products barrels, tru-lift, and j & j are these good?
You can find Tru-Flight barrels on ebay real cheap, these barrels don't look flashy, but, I have an 18" on my spider and It shoots long and straight. Alos look into the JT ceramics, these are good barrels for around 40$
There are some really good deals for some all american barrels on eBay. J&J barrel are a little pricey ($80 I believe) but you might be able to find some a lot lower on eBay. Look them up simetime.
$250? That's exactly $50 more than on www.animalpaintball.com. Shame on you, Sytrax!!! Anyway, a good barrel between $40 and $50 is the Custom Products. Do not settle for less.
