For normal paint and for general use the stock barrel is good.
If however you feel the need to increase your accuracy by promoting grouping of paint, then a barrel system that allows close paint to bore matching will help.
I tried the dye ul range and couldnt get on with it, so I went back to a freak system which I have a lot of confidence in. It works for me, and so I'm happy. Something else might be your preference.
Try what you got first, and if you aint happy, have a look around.

think i will only be using it for walkons for now but im used to using a BT4 ironhorse with an apex barrel which is quite accurate itself and reading reviews of the PMR on pbreview nearly all of them say a barrel upgrade would be a good idea
how much do full freak kits go for usually?

Depends on age and the number of inserts and tips, anything from £30 up really
If you're after a freak set I have an old style stainless steel back (autococker threaded so would be fine on the pmr), 3 inserts and two tips (one blue, one silver)for sale if you were interested.

used the stock barrel on a walkon and really didnt get on with it ... its ok for short range as i was impressed when shooting on the range, but i picked up a ul and so far i realy like it. Most people, money dependant, go for a ul or freak (save up to get a good barrel / barrel system rather than buying one you dont get on with and then having to upgrade again )

when i bought a pmr new last year one of the first things i bought along with a trigger was a ul barrel loved it, nice accuracy and very very few breakages which is always a bonus.
Speaking for a friend who has a PMR, he hated the stock barrel because he said the bore size was too small and kept breaking paint..... switched to a freak kit and has been happy since.
