I had probs. on Sunday with my Freak and Chronic paint smegging in the barrel ,even with the .695 insert!,so I swapped to Rekkas...didn't make a bit of difference ,last few batches of Chronic have been PANTS
never had the slightest bit of trouble with my freak it shoots just a good or better than any other barrel out there. If your havng problems check it down for dents and make sure your front is screwed in all the way or it makes a gap midway through the barrel and that will make you paint soup.

Another thing I've been told to be careful of with my Freak is that you should always put the insert in from the back, never from the front. Apparently, doing it the other way CAN damage or unseat the O rings.
