Unless the paint is so small it won't be held by the detent, it just doesn't matter as long as the barrel is smooth. If the barrel is not smooth, it will shoot like poo.

I shoot small paint through big barrels all the time with great results including 30 shots a 12ie, and though I haven't done true scientific experimentation to prove it doesn't matter, THAT'S BECAUSE GLENN PALMER ALREADY DID IT! Glad not to have to bother, Thanks Mr Palmer!

Not sure what kind of gun you use - but with a closed bolt, like a Cocker or Sniper, you NEED to match your paint.

Now, if you have a set of wedgits in the barrel you can get away with what you've been doing, or if you have an open bolt gun, go ahead - the most accurate gun I've used was a Tippmann with a large bore BOA barrel.

Anyways, back to topic - like B said, don't worry about some scratches, as long as they are linear, meaning they go along the length of the barrel. Is it shooting poorly? If it's still shooting okay, then leave well enough alone.

Mr Smith - you DID not mention rollouts on the post I quoted you. Jumping all over me for repeating you is pointless. I did not.
is just plain wrong. Perhaps if you were really digesting the info in my posts as I have the courtesy to do yours you wouldn't have missed it.

Furthermore - AGD's experiments show that the ball does not form to the barrel while being shot, which negates PPS's theory that the ball "swages" to the barrel and their "elliptical honing" works wonders. Who's making what up now? Plus, the ball does not care if it's shot through a brass barrel or a stainless steel barrel - they work equally as well, in my experience.
Tom Kaye didn't think SP would sue him out of the Emag or he wouldn't have started on it, so he was wrong once too, feel free to disregard EVERYTHING HE'S EVER SAID.
You've been wrong just in this thread, should I disregard you? I don't. I filter what you say through my own experience and try to understand what you're saying, instead of just rabidly waiting my turn to post.

Why on earth would I repeat you to prove you wrong? How does that work? If that's the case, I better get on top of SP's patent infringement case and start repeating everything they say - maybe we can shut them down.
Only you can answer the first question, as for the last, if there's the slightest possibility it would work I would help you, but there isn't I'm afraid.


I'm still waiting for one shred of data to refute what you guys have been trolling me about this whole thread.
I make one of your points go away and you wipe that hit and make up something new.

I have to admit I'm enjoying myself immensely, though. That's what I like about MCB, except for a few sourpusses like B and Clearush(may they be wrong with joy forever), people are openminded enough to listen even when they disagree.
