Apex and 8inch barrel?

Hey guys what's up well I curently have a jj ceramic 14 inch with an apex tip making it like 18 inch but I can't get use to this long barrel, before adding the apex it was all cool just 14 inch and I was used to it, with an 8 inch barrel and the apex that's 13 inch and am cool with that, what barrels that are 8 inch do you guys recommend me for an apex tip?

Lapco big shot makes an 8 inch. Best of all its apex ready.

Re: Apex and 8inch barrel?

use a pipe cutter to shorten it to a desired length, a half round file will help smooth the edge so it isn't sharp. I did this to my freak front before the apex ready freaks came out, they didn't make an 8inch freak at the time.

you can also try ROCKSTAR Tactical Systems: The Best Sniper Paintball Guns and Woodsball Paintball Accessories

and use hawks505 for 5% off, I think its a little cheaper than the Lapco price, depending on shipping.

Personally, I didn't like my 8-inch Apex-Ready Lapco with an Apex I had better luck with the 12-inch

Re: Apex and 8inch barrel?

to each their own, from my experience I get the same accuracy, maybe a little less distance, but paintball is all a game of adjustments.

Re: Apex and 8inch barrel?

Oh man Lapco with a Apex is sweet. Bout the best of both worlds good straight shot with the Apex off and a long/tick shot with it on.
And Lapco makes really nice stuff!
