Tippmann A5 Flatline Barrel With Foregrip- Just Released!

Posted by paintballtech on February 24, 2011

New for 2011, the A5 Flatline now includes a built-in, wide-mouth foregrip. Concealed within is a slightly curved barrel design which, using centrifugal force, places backspin on each shot. This enables paintballs to travel much longer distances, allowing you to outrange opponents while maintaining level, accurate shots.  Increasing your marker’s effective range up to 250 feet, you maintain an additional 100 foot advantage over traditional barrel systems. Designed to benefit users in a variety of settings, the Flatline is ideal for snipers and back players.

TPX Barrels and Lapco PosiFeed Paddles

Posted by paintballtech on September 24, 2009

LAPCO has always had quality in mind when producing their products. Their barrels are no exception to this. All LAPCO barrels are precision crafted until the bore size and barrel wall thinness are concentric and consistent. This eliminates the visible wavy lines that plague lower quality barrels. Then, the Big Shot is honed in a three step process that creates a mirror finish inside the barrel. The honing is then followed up by a hard anodization process to keep your barrel looking like new. The new TPX Big Shot Barrels are available in .687 and .690 bores, allowing for versatility in barrel-to-paint matching.

Made in the U.S.A. and machined from aircraft grade aluminum, then black anodized and laser etched with LAPCO’s signature Scorpion logo and utilizing LAPCO’s Tru-Bore technology, the BIG SHOT ASSAULT barrel system has the same quality and performance you expect from LAPCO Big Shot barrels, but now with the addition of a threaded tip it is easier than ever to change the look of your barrel set-up. The Assault barrel comes standard with an M-16 style Bird Cage thread on flash suppressor. Lapco also offers several other thread on tips such as the APEX adapter, the Phantom flash Suppressor, Sop-Mod style fake suppressor & Barret M-82 tip. This allows the player the freedom to create different mil-sim looks by adding different tips and accessories without having to replace or remove barrels. The TPX Big Shot Assault Barrels are available in .687 and .690 bores, allowing for versatility in barrel-to-paint matching.

J & J Ceramic Barrels are made from 6061 T6 grade aluminum and are CNC machined to the highest quality standards in the industry. What makes these barrels unique, however, is the how they are coated on the inside. In the inner diameter of the barrel, J& J impregnates the surface with a ceramic and Teflon mixture. This helps to reduce the friction rate to a minimum, while allowing the barrel to be almost self cleaning

Site-Mfg, or Stiffi to most people, is the leader in carbon fiber paintball technology. With the introduction of their MF Barrel, they have provided the most accurate mid-priced barrel available. With its one piece design, stepped bore, mirror internal finish, and completely metal free design, the Stiffi MF Barrel is truly an innovation in paintball barrel technology.

Made in the U.S.A., LAPCO’s new PosiFeed Soft Paddles are made from a space-age, oil resistant, flexible polymer that can withstand freezing temperatures. LAPCO’s PosiFeed technology eliminates lockup on the 3 ball side of the second layer, guiding your ammo into the Cyclone more efficiently. Also, LAPCO’s Posi-Drive technology means both top and bottom paddles interlock and wont slip during use. LAPCO has produced the paddles in 3 different grades of firmness: soft, medium and hard – in order to combat different altitude, humidity and temperature levels which can have adverse effects on typical paddles currently found in the marketplace.

Stiffi MF Barrel Feb 5th Release Date

Posted by paintballtech on January 27, 2009

I just spoke with Stiffi and the release date on their new MF (Metal Free) barrels is February 5th, 2009.  They should start shipping them then and we should have them in stock ready to ship about a week later. 

Also an update.  The A5 version IS NOT available in the .689 bore size.  Stiffi doesn’t make any A5 barrels with .689 bores to accomodate the larger Tippmann bolts.

You can purchase any of Stiffi’s barrels, including the new Metal Free Barrel here, on TippmannParts.com .
