Hello,
I could use some help in deciding on an aftermarket barrel for my Invert Mini. I only play speedball. At this point I am looking at the Deadly Wind CF Fibur 14", and the Dye Ultralight 14" 2 piece.
I have seen most of the reviews, and I know they are both well-liked by almost all the users. I have read that the Freak inserts may wobble a little on the DW. However, the Dye does not use inserts so matching can only be done by purchasing another back. If true, that could be a deal-breaker right there.
I am leaning towards the Deadly Wind barrel and trying to go with only two inserts for now, a .687 and a .689, rather than spend another $60 for the entire Freak kit. I know that the stock barrel on my Mini is .691. The place where I play sells mostly GI Sportz paintballs (and sometimes Empire). These brands bore out at about .687 (+/-) in warm weather. In any case, with the Mini's stock barrel these paintballs go right through with little or no resistance when inserted in the rear. I should also add that I am in Florida where the weather is warm most of the year and that went into determining the size of insert I think I should need since it is unlikely that the paintballs will get much larger because it doesn't get much hotter than Florida!
How does all this sound? Any advise from experienced players will be appreciated.
