i wanted to know what you guys think of the stiffi switch kit vs the mamba. i was also reading that the switch isn't that effective cause ithe sizing breech is too short

There is some debate on whether a short or long chokeis better. Some say a long choke because it holds the ball captive longer, while others say the seam rubs too much in a longer choke.

Personally I prefer a shorter choke, becuase paintballs are not perfect and I dont think the longer choke helps anything.

The only difference between the Stiffi Switch and the Mamba is looks, the Mamba is shiny, comes in colors and has a little cap on the end of the barrel.

I have tried a freak kit, and my Stiffi is still what will remain on my G7's. The Mamba allows different colors, and I think the end cap is the same.

Another barrel I really like is the Hammer Head, but I only have chokes for my Tippmann right now.

also what size bore do you think is best when buying a one piece barrel. 691?

If you are only buying one barrel and plan on using more than 1 size ball then I would opt for a .692 bore size. Personally I prefer a .695 but few companies make them anymore. Currently I am using a .692 Jacko-Stick for all paint I shoot.

I have gone with the DYE Titanium Boomstick 2 Piece Barrel,with a blue tip 14inch,i hear that toothpaste is great for polishing the inside,and makes the barrel alot more accurate,so im told ! If your unsure do a review on some barrels you like at pbreview.com :smile:
