    What barrel/freak sizes do you commonly use?

    I went paintballing and balls were falling through my 684 freak insert. What are common barrel sizes to use for todays paintballs?

        I've been using something around 0.685 or smaller for a while. Frequently 0.682 or less depending on the paint & weather.

        Barrel selection depends on marker. For my DSR I usually use a Freak or Stella Kit, Cocker's all use the Stella Kit, and for my Prime I use the Shift 3 barrel.

          .684" for closed-bolt guns (most of what I have).

            682 and 684 are the only one's ive touched in recent times. 679 was tested but its a underbore for local paint here. I have 2 nearly full freak kits that I know feel stupid for buying.... would have saved me a ton just to have bought single inserts of the ones I use most.

              I have a complete Freak kit, plus a TyMcneer .675 insert I use most of the time. It just well seasoned and works... I’ve had it going on 20 years. I use whatever size fits well.

              i own a bunch of barrels like a Stella, Edge kit, Pipe kit, and tons of random barrels. My .688 Ti Boomstick gets used on most open bolts.

                  Snipers/Cockers get the .679, mag and emek get the .682.

                    .684 prevents rollouts for field paint used here.

                      I've been using .675 backs and Freak inserts when using my closed bolt guns. Typically .679-682 on my open bolt guns. This is with Valken Graffiti and GI 4 Star.

                        I use .684 -.680 most of the time. Occasionally I get rollouts on the .680 with some cheaper paints. I over bore on anything with functioning detents. I prefer having lots of bore options for my pumps.

                          This is my preferred as well, but if that's not an option I usually rock dummy detents and a .679

                            I've been using my TyMcneer .678 in my Phantom, and usually the .679 from my freak kit for Snipers, Cockers, etc. Open bolt guns? Whatever the old J&J Ceramic bores out to, which I assume is big.

                              I've been using .675 exclusively for the last couple years.
