PowerLyte Scepter barrel Insert replacement?

[zmannz1984]

I have been digging through my old gear as I prepare to play again and came across my old Powerlyte Scepter barrel kit. They sponsored a team I was on back in the day. I thought I gave it away, but it was stashed in the side pocket of an old case. Score! This was the first competitor to the Freak barrel if I recall.

However, unfortunately, the smallest insert I have is a 686 and the two kinds of paint I have now fall through with ease. I don't recall ever seeing separate inserts for sale and based on my research, they never went smaller than 684 anyway. Does anyone know if there is another brand of insert I can use? Or modify a different brand? Or should I sell this as a collectible lol. I know I got a new 684 insert from my captain when he gave me the autococker back (I totaled my angel LCD diving at a hyperball field, broke the barrel back off in the gun, bent my drop forward, and snapped the feedneck lol). Gonna search for that 684 but it will still be too large.

Looking at the current offerings, I feel like a PWR or a freak power insert could be modified to fit if I used it backwards. Anyone done that before? Know any snith that would try if I provided the inserts and the barrel? TIA!

They had a unique geometry. Cheaper to move on to a different barrel.

What ID you are looking for?

Probably around 678-680? Seems to be about where paint is these days.

Update: I found out that Empire sold these under their brand for a while after Powerlyte as the "Revolver". So, if anyone has Revolver insets in smaller sizes, please hit me up!
