    I use the field one barrel and really like it - that said I pay no attention to numbers, and it takes a game or two sometimes to get the right insert. I always start with the blow test and that gets me close. if the paints wonky I'll have to go up a size or two. some days the old cocker is just not having it regardless of insert and I grab my EMEK (which I might just switch to permanently as its just so frickin' nice to shoot). My trusty palmers .689 wedgited barrel is just to heavy anymore, even through it will solve the problem for the cocker.

      Overbore to .689 everyday, all day. Efficiency be damned. My air-tank shoots more than the pods I carry anyways.
      Do hard things for fun. Being soft is for sissies. Being an asshole is easy, thats why everyone is one. Being stand up us hard. Be a hard bastard but be respectful.

        I think this is the attitude all sane people eventually settle on. Stop them from rolling out with a wedgit or nail polish or tape…then call it good. Go play.

        Use freeqs if you went to, but the problem with phreeeekz is they they don’t reliably stop rollouts. A perfectly round tube only grips a perfectly round paintball and those don’t exist so on all my guns I’d need a fweeeck IN ADDITION to the tape or whatever and frankly thats just too much messing around with crap. Fuck that shit.

          I only used three inserts or bore sizes spaced about .004 or .005 inches apart, e.g. 677 682 687

          90% of the time, I am in the “medium” size

              Sometimes I'll feel spicy and use a .687

                I remember when I started pump...I didn't even think about a barrel kit at the time I just ran whatever I wanted and just kept my marker up if I knew I had a ball chambered or I would just shoot before I dropped my marker down now I'm older and got money to actually build guns so why not get a nice barrel

                  When I was playing with my PGP the other day I legit just made sure I didn't chamber a round until I had to shoot. Good thing they're rock back
