Paintball

From what I have heard and seen Lucky makes great stuff. In my opinion their products are just applied common sense. Simple, cheap, and gets the job done. There isn't much more you could ask for.

THAT'S JUST GREAT

Now I've gone and spent more money, thanks a lot for posting this.

I was doing just fine with the barrels I have now, but NOOOOO!!!




LOL I'll let you know how they are when they get here.

Dust black 13" with 3 backs. Ion, cocker, spyder.
Wish they had them for my mags.

Those look fairly phallic to me. They're even ribbed for her pleasure. Eeeeeww.

It was done sooner, much sooner. VMs had the two piece barrel with the threads being on an a sleeve.

Maybe or maybe not. But priced in comparison to a Boomstick or Ultralite I'd say the value per/dollar on the Lucky barrels is a very good deal.

If you go to their website it even shows the availabilty of each product. So at least people ordering know upfront if they're going to get the dreaded "backordered" message.

I built up an Ion using all Lucky paintball parts including the barrel.

Very pleased with the quality of their products. The barrel's sound signature is minimal due to the massive amount of porting. Accuracy is on par with other brands out there.

I have to agree with Cunha on the Lapco side of the argument.

But not as good a deal when compared to a Lapco one piece... with Lapco you get a gun-drilled one-piece that's been very finely honed and polished. Value per dollar award to Lapco.

I'll stick with my trusty Lapco barrels.

When people start talking value per dollar on the price of the barrel new..it goes to Lapco no questions at all. You can get a used dye barrel for under 30 dollars.

Im no dye fan and dont even use their barrels on any of my guns, but they arent bad and their honing is awesome.

Its nice to see a decent looking inexpensive product out there, but youd have to shoot it first to know if its worthy, otherwise your better off with something used, or a new lapco.

Sorry for bringing this back, but I figure it's been a couple of months now and everyone who ordered them back in November probably has some field time with them. I've been eyeing them as of late and was wondering how they hold up compared to the previously mentioned barrels (DYE, Lapco, etc). Any input is much appreciated.

Well I love mine, i got the .685 bore. I got the barrel and cocker, spyder backs within a week.
Took 2 months for the Ion back due to back order.
Overall it's very accurate and pretty quiet.
LOve the look.

But we all know what is accurate last week at 50 degrees and no humidity, might not be as accurate next week when it's 70 degrees and 70% humidity.

So it's relevent to the day in question.

IMO you can't beat it for the price, unless you want to buy used.
