Phantom Barrel Options Advice - Page 2

Ir0nExpress · 01-21-2008, 09:44 PM

Sound options:

Bored barrel

or

Stock barrel, Autospirit, Microshot as a set.

I'm perfectly happy with my bored 11in, it's so quiet that I thought I was shooting low when I first used it.

A bored out stock barrel for freak inserts shoots great.

I've never shot anything better on a Phantom than a CCI CF barrel.

My CCM kit wasn't better than my stock w/ inserts.

Thanks guys, I think the bored barrel option with a few inserts is prob the cheapest. I only ever seem to use 2-3 inserts anyway in my Specter kit. Looks like Twinky does it pretty inexpensively.
Now if only I could get my Tiberius 8 bored as well...

I just got my bored Phantom barrel from WWA. It works better than I could of hoped for. It is SO quiet, takes people a few shots at them before they know where it's coming from. Plus very accurate and no more roll outs. I'm in Ontario Canada and I got mine in 8-9 days

I've had a few positive expriences with WWA's ebay sales so far, so no worries there if you do end up getting one from there.

I don't see why they couldn't. There's a picture of a Twinky bored Dye back on the PHOG.

I love my 16" Dye Boomstick. Unfortunately, with shrinking paint, it's harder to shoot without getting roll-outs. This is easily the most accurate marker I own though, better than all others!
