Buying a used barrel - are you getting someone else's crap?

Go buy sellers feedback and simplest question of all what do it's average 10 shot groups look like with what pellet specifically at 50 yards? Then go from there. Nobody in their right mind would sell a phenomenal shooting barrel period IMHO unless they got one that shoots more accurate sitting on their current gun right now.

I have sold all.my factory airforce barrels .. they were all great .. absolutely nothing wrong with them. The .22 was so awesome that with the right pressure you could go from 11g gto to 40g boat tail with absolute precision butt I change both talon ss to HP Doug valves..to shoot cast bullets with TJ barrels...I try not to hoard things so I sold them... maybe it depends of what gun it comes out..

I believe in the saying "one man's garbage is another man's treasure". A barrel that one person may not get to shoot may be a winner for someone else under different conditions.

I don’t know...

I purchased a bunch of BSA barrels years ago from John Knibbs. I sold one on the Yellow years ago. It was never used. I may put one up here on the classifieds (also unused).

Different reasons for the seasons.. I tend to be a collector more than a user. I have a couple of RAWs and an Edgun which have never cycled a pellet.

No crap here, just one man’s unused chit.

Barrels guns that's my problem my guns are so accurate I can not part with them. Or I can say my barrels are so accurate I can not sell the gun,

I do have a spare CZ 22 barrel for my Mutant, Its a picky barrel and likes 16 gr JSBs .

When I read the post, barrel and gun popped in my head at the same time.

Funny thing is I got several package deals on Mutants along with their take off (throw away) Listone (NON CZ) barrels included and some were just as accurate as the CZs and one was even more accurate it was crazy nuts and the sellers never even shot them and just barrel brand prejudiced and replaced with CZ when brand new.

I got Listone pistol shoot more accurate than the real AA CZ Alpha Project too.

I bought my impact with .22 and .25 barrels.. now I’m thinking to sell the .22 barrel since I have two more rifle in .22 and the impact was tuned by Ernest Rowe to shoot jsb 33.95 gr.. I don’t think it is garbage just something that I’m not going to use..

I bought a gun with a crap barrel (16" groups at 20 yards, yeah, 16") so the seller went halves on a new barrel.

Any one interested in a used .22 dreamline barrel?

Post up in classified with the details, I might be interested. 

I just traded or sold three barrels. When I bought my FX Impact it had an original smooth twist barrel on it. It shot great but my gun was posed to be an Impact-X. At least that's what they told me when I bought it. So soon I received a 600mm STX barrel that was posed to make my Impact into an Impact-X. I then ordered a 700mm barrel kit. I also ordered a 700mm STX slug A liner as I had planned all along to shoot slugs. So had no use for my now barely used 600 STX barrel, shortly after I received it although it shot very well.

So now I have an original 600mm Smooth Twist barrel, a 600mm STX barrel and a 700mm STX liner that I have no use for. So, I sold and traded them away. All were great barrels with limited use. All shot very well.

Taking Barrels right,

Odoyle , That's the name I could not remember LISTONE, You can not pry the Listone off my Mutant, It will shoot any 22 pellet almost perfect. I think I was told it is a smooth bore barrel, So I am sure slugs would do good but my little Mutant shots a little slow at 820 FPS range with 16 gr pellets, I got some old 22 caliber pellets from K mart , Gibson's dating back 40 years, The Listone shots them no matter what......

Now if you ask me what barrel I want on my gun CZ pops in my head, Not sure about the story of the Listone barrel but I got a good one, On my mutant 22,

I sold my .25 700mm slug liner A and regretted it! 

I'd be skeptical about a new FX superior liner because its new and people don't normally have a reason to sell without selling the whole gun. The pellet liners and old FX slug liners, not so much. Out of 3 Impacts I instantly swap the barrels to slug liners and won't even bother trying to sell the liners unless I see a WTB in the classifieds.

At least you got spare brake line when you need it.
