Proto Rail 2011 Barrel Options

[Snipey]

So slightly newbie question but I have picked up the Proto Rail 2011 as a get you buy marker for the time being and was just wondering what barrels can I purchase to change from the marker standard? My knowledge on barrels is very limited so any help or links would be perfect. As I understand, I need an Autococker threaded barrel.....is that right?

Thanks

Got myself the same marker and was wondering this as well the other day, but yes you are right that is an auto-cocker threaded barrel. From the advice I got, there's loads of options that you can go with. There's the two piece barrels like the Dye UltraLite barrels and the Shaft 4 barrels from Planet Eclipse, which have the bore size set as the back piece of the barrel. There's also the one piece barrels from Vangaurd, which do require a back to screw the barrel into as well, but are cheap even from brand new. Have a look on the Vanguard site under accessories and you'll find them. Finally there's the full barrel kits/bore kits like the freak kit or Empire revolver kit, which are similar to the two-piece barrels, but you have an insert which goes inside the back piece of the barrel to match the paint you shoot.
I'm still undecided but i'm going to try a few out next time I'm training and see which performs best for me, but hope this helps you out

It is Autococker/ A/C threaded.
Most barrels mentioned above will fit just fine, personally on a rail i would use the stock and save up for a better gun but thats just me. All the best.

In my honest opinion I would recommend the vanguard barrels as a cost effective way of allowing a closer bore to paint match, which will give you better accuracy.
