A-5 Barrel: Lapco Snapshot or Dye Ultralite

A5Gunner24 · 05-17-2005, 06:41 PM

I have decided between the Dye Ultralite 14" and Lapco Snapshot 14".
Dye Ultralite is $99 and Lapco Snapshot is around $90.00

Which one should I get please vote and tell me good or bad experiences and which one you would reccomend.

The Gun I have is a Tippmann A-5.

The UL, Lapco is really for tippmanns, UL is high end, you wont see a lapco on anyones ego, or shocker etc

get a a ultralight you can't go wrong.

Right now with all the votes I will probably get Dye Ultralight, but I have a question should I get the bore for it .688 or .692? The paint I use is .687-.691 which bore for barrel would be better?

On pbgear.com .692 is sold out, they only have .688, after I found out what bore does anyone know any good online shops that come in all the bores for ultralites?

Thanks guys for the help so far.

Hope I can just get this part and I should be on my way.

ultra man, dye just makes great barrels, actually if you want to splurge a bit you could get a Freak (My personal Favorite) for about 110-120 Freaks are amazing, i have a 16" Boomstick and a 14" freak and i love that freak

Guess what everyone... a Snapshot beats the crap out of an Ultralight! Nobody here has actually used a Snapshot, have they. However, i have used both, and THE SNAPSHOT IS BETTER, PERIOD.

Does it lose its accuracy after a lot of range ? or is it accurate all around?

cali141 · 05-19-2005, 09:21 PM

Its accurate all around. However, all barrels lose some accuracy at long distances.
