Got a replacement Carbon IC barrel. I let a new guy at the field borrow my old IC barrel to see if it would help his mini. I handed it to him and told him to give it a try (trying to help grow the sport). At the end of the day he came back and couldn't get the back off his gun. It has that oring on there and it fits tight. But he had proceeded to crank it down even further. I cracked the back part of the barrel trying to get it out. He took it in the shop and and somehow they removed it. But he had stripped the first few threads of his mini. I felt really bad because it really screwed up his gun. He had offered to buy the barrel earlier in the day but I didn't want to sell it. Afterwards, he offered to pay me for the barrel since it was broken at that point. I told him don't worry about it and get his gun fixed with the money instead. I found this one on FB and bought it so now I have a carbon back and both silver and black tips now. It also came with the SS insert. Needless to say, this one won't be loaned out!
Wow, that's not been my experience with them. My son and I have had several of these barrels and never had an issue and my son would take terrible care of his. With the inserts in them, they are pretty rigid. My mistake was taking the insert out. Once I did that and put a wrench to it (wrapped in a towel) it lost strength. Plus I don't know what the guy did before he came over to me with it. I pretty much use the Stella PWR insert barrels that came with my FLE's these days. This is just a loaner or backup for me now but when I used the IC it took a beating.
Thanks, it's pretty sweet. I will probably go ahead and order some upgrades for it. It's crazy how fast it shoots. I don't know how accurate I will be with it but it's relatively lightweight and feels good.
Yeah I have the shroud and shield coming in tomorrow to add a little more black to it. I took this out and shot it some more today. Wow. This thing is stupid fast. In bursts, I can outshoot my CTRL. It's unreal.
Got a PMR that anson was kind enough to pick up for me in record time. Mailed Friday and got it today! And an AKA Lightning bolt for my pre 2K cocker. And yes, of course the bolt was more expensive than the project PMR.

Got it a week ago, but finally getting around to uploading photos
I'll make another post about this gun in the Sheridan section. Some cool history behind it plus after chatting sounds like we played at the same field at the same time so chances are we played with or against each other at some point. So that makes it mean a whole lot more to me.
Got a few barrels back from BMC. 3 freak bored AC Stealths and one turned into a Acculock tip. These will go up for sale soon. Also, an Armson Stealth cut down and “threaded” for a Semi. Semi barrels were mostly Pro-Series as far as I know. I wanted a Stealth to run on mine, just need to get it anodized now.
