Hey hows it going guys im new to the forum. Just got a Spyder Pilot (just the normal one). What barrel would you guys recommend for it? and is the stock one any good?

[gailon24]

Hey, IMO the stock barrel is better than other stock barrels. I haven't used it too much, though. Personally I love my 14" J&J ceramic barrel, although I scratched the side of it on a spool the first week i used it =*(

The stock barrel on any marker sucks. They're normally peices of aluminum roughly rolled to have an internal diameter of .691 . Personally, I would get a .692 bore CP 1 Peice or a Smart Parts Teardrop barrel. With the larger bore you have a lot of with that single bore over getting a barrel of same make but of smaller bore. Here's a whole discussion thread on that. Now for length....if you play a lot where you need a shorter barrel then go 12", but if you can get a 14". Anything more is a waste of money IMO.

I also just bought the 14" smart parts teardrop. Excellent purchase!!!!!

yep, that thread should help you .. but how much are you willing to spend for a barrel ??

[Dante86]

around $50-$70 bucks on barrel

14" dye proto here.. great medium range accuracy, shoots through breaks great, and is very very light weight. Cost me $50 locally

For $50-70 you can find a Dye UL barrel, I'd go with that.

yep, agreed the Dye UL barrel is probably one of the best choices .. just remeember to get it in spyder thread
