Too Tell Me Which Is A Better Decision....
Ok well i will be getting a barrel kit for Christmas and am wondering which will be a better choice...
Choice Number One Is A [glow=red,2,300]Lapco Snapshot Full Kit [/glow]For $200- This is my first choice...i like the idea of just screwing on a new back or new front...this is my main option..If You Don't Know It Comes With
- 12" and 14" Front - Back Bore Sizes= .687, .689, .693
Choice Number 2 Is A [glow=red,2,300]Lapco Accushot Kit [/glow]For $140- This is my secondary choice....the bore sizes in this are very common...it saves me 60 bucks if it is a better kit...If you Do Not Know It Comes With 3 Barrel
- Bigshot = Bore Size .689 - Autospirit = Bore Size .687 - Microshot = Bore Size .684
Those Are My 2 Options...I Find Lapco barrels shoot the best and keep with the A5 look
Tell Me Which You Recommend And Why?

I prefer my Accushot kit. I did get a .693 snapshot to compliment it (you can easily fit a 4th 12" barrel in the case by cutting a slot with an Xacto knife) for the really huge paint, but the microshot will probably see more use.
Snapshot's nice, but the quieter shot is a trade off with efficency and a little with long range accuracy (Snapshots are more accurate that most other two pieces because the higher quality manufacturing and longer backs, they are very accurate).
If you want a quieter gun, or more length options (10-18"!) the Snapshot is an awesome kit.

If you can afford it, I'd go with the Snapshot because of the same reason, because it is always good to have the option of having a large bore barrel.

You can get custom sized Lapco one pieces for $70... You can get custom sized Snap shot backs, too, donno how much they are...Like Roland had a .684 back in his A5 kit

Powerlyte makes some awesome kits. Agreed. The Scepter is very nice, and more affordable than the Snapshot kit. Any of these three kits will serve you very well.

Theres also a new barrel kit out there, fusing freak tips and basically the Stiffi. Deadlywind Wisper Barrel: www.deadlywind.com/store/wisper/index.htmlSeems pretty cool to me. Edit: oops just noticed that its only autococker threaded, but Ill leave the link up for others.

It all depends if you ever plan on using this kit on different guns then I would suggest the Powerlyter Scepter kit for inserts, I absolutely love mine and will never get rid of it. For a kit with back I would reccommend looking at the CP 2-Piece kit they are very affordable and they are great barrels.
