right now im just looking for a cheap barrel. i found some in my price range. J & J Ceramic Impulse/Ion Paintball Barrel - 14 Inch or Smart Parts Linear Impulse / ION Barrel - 14 Inch or Proto 1 Piece Impulse / Ion Barrel - 14 Inch - Black or Custom Products Classic .689 Impulse / Ion Paintball Barrel - 14 Inch - Black. which ond will be the most accurate and lightest? also should i eventually buy a freak kit, are they worth it?

Of your listed choices the J&J and CP would be my top options. J&Js are usually .689 bore, but the CP can be found in different bores, depending on what paint you usually shoot. As for a Freak kit, they are good if you use various paint and would like to match paint to barrel bore, but this is not crucial. And, I would recommend the Powerlyte Scepter kit over the Freak due to craftsmanship and locking inserts. BTW, you asked for a "cheap barrel" and neither kit is cheap.

instead of a freak kit i would get an ultralight barrel

J&J for now is the best bang for the buck on the market, iv also heard good things about the CP ceramic. the standard freak is not bad but the DW fibur barrel with the freak kit is amazing(check the sig, definatly one of the pricier kits on the market though). i own the ultralight as well, its a good barrel, pretty standard two aluminum tubes though, lighter than most of the competition

anyone have a price on what the UL is going for now a days? mine came with the dm6

i think a UL barrel is anywhere from $100 to $150.

outch, not worth it IMO, you can get a stiffi for less than that

what exactly is the difference between the J&J and the stock barrel for the ion??
shoots straighter?

Timber_Ghost

The JJ is ceramic with a teflon coating that allows you to shoot through breaks. It is a lot more accurate than the stock barrel and may be a bit lighter. My brother has one on his 04 vert cocker and I have one on my AGD tac 1. We both really like them. It is totally worth the money.

thanks a bunch
but woo paintballing is expensive as HELL
getting small things like a barrel and tank cover and other things, all adds up
just getting a decent gun like 200$ doesnt sound like much but when i hear all these things to get it adds to 700 lol

Timber_Ghost

For serious, I just bought a sweet deadlywind fibur barrel system so I can get a little more accuracy, and that was a pretty penny. Its a good thing paintballing is as fun as it is. Otherwise Id feel a lot worse shelling out so much cash for stuff.
