BOA barrel Identification and Pricing?

I recently traded for a 99 led angel with single trigger. Not only is it my first gun that requires a battery and switch to turn it on but it came with more barrels than any other gun I own. I believe that each gun should have 1 or 2 barrels at most and if they paint from that day doesnt work in them, I should try a different gun(The pleasures of being an addict... cough... GW).

I am planning on selling the angel because the thought of using it in a game just feels like I am cheating on my other guns. I want to sell the barrels off separately so I can earn some extra cash for my next purchase(squall or tib8).

The gun came with 1 stock(I think) black infinity barrel and 5 extra nickeled brass barrels. The seller told me that they are BOA barrels and from my limited knowledge... I think he might be right. But, alas, that limited knowledge isnt enough for me to bet my reputation against when I am ready to sell.

Here is where I need help. I need to figure out what each of these barrels are and how much each could go for. I numbered the pictures so you can easily just write the number and the name of it in your response. Also could these barrels be turned into blazer barrels via PPS?

Descriptions(All Angel threaded, same length, and a raised ring right after the threading):

#1 - No porting with ring right before threads
#2 - 2 sets of porting, both straight back, alternating between short and long , a small ring of porting about 1in from end of the long porting line.
#3 - Express
#4 - Same as #1
#5 - Snakebite


Images:








Please let me know what they are and what they are worth. More pictures can be taken.

PS. If anyone wants a single trigger LED angel, let me know.

If any of them were concealor barrels I would think it were number two.

Yeah, #2 might be a concealer without the shroud. #5 is a snakebite, I believe.

#5 is a snakebite
#3 is an express

As for value, I'd say the ported barrels are worth at least $25 each if they were cocker threaded. I have no idea what you can get for an angel threaded BOA barrel these days.

As stated before #3 is an Express(I use one on my MicroMag) and #5 is a SnakeBite.
As for value I know they're still going for about $75 in my neck of the woods.

30-40 for the barrels a piece and the threading may lower that price range a bit.

I 'd be up for the express if you don't mind me chopping the threads for a project.

Geez, selling the Angel already? :P

The ones you can't identify have an experimental porting the owner of BOA was trying out, or at least that's what the owner before me said.

He bought them directly from BOA's owner, and sold them to me, and I sold them to Netsurferdude.

They are definitely BOA barrels (from personal knowledge and looking at the style and markings), and they're worth about $20-$50, depending on how badly one wants them. The problem is the average owner of an Angel is concerned about looks, BPS, weight, and then functionality, in that order. You'll have a hard time selling them separately, because there's really no market for these. I wanted them, because I'm a BOA fanatic, and they're hard to find for an Angel - if you can find someone else with those qualities, you'll sell them.

Thanks for the help jordan. I thought I wanted an electro but I really didnt, I guess.

That helps solve some issues in identification
