So this is probably one of those endless debate threads, but I'm relatively new to paintball forums, so pardon me if I stir the pot. ....so, when I picked up my Resurrection a few years back, a couple guys at the field with Snipers said they had great results with the .675 and .680 barrels. I had a Dye UL with a .688 that was performing meh....ok, but within a few weekends, I found the .680 Empire barrel was the ticket. Somewhere between then and now, I picked up 2 NIB UL backs off craigslist for $40. .684 and .680. .....still.....the .680 Empire outperformed. ....I had been using the .680 empire on the Rez, and the .680 and .685 UL on the Mag until this weekend, where I gave the Empire barrel a go in the Mag and it was glorious! .....so my question/statement:
First, I think I may just pick up one of those open box Empire .675/.680/.685 kits off Ebay for $65 so I have TWO, one for each...
...and second...what are you guys using for a modern barrel? (-for those not using old school twist locks.) I thought DYE and Freaks had the market, but in looking around...and from my experience....in two totally different valve/gun set ups, they weren't that great. ...I have about $300 retail worth of DYE UL barrels just sitting there, going unused.
