Flasc Review





   Hello again to all my fellow milsim (or not) users out there in the paintball community,
I am this is a review on some flasc products and just flasc in general.

    Around Christmas time I would have to say late november early december I ordered two flasc barrels and an apex2 tip, they were coming from london ontario so I figured they were only a day or two away by mail, and they were. I picked them up from the post office and having always heard great things about flasc was eager to open them and test them out, well after I opened the package and tried to fit them to my markers I realized that they were the wrong thread but the apex2 tip was fine. So I contacted flasc the same day and told them what was going on, they instructed me to send back the barrels and they would ship them back out as soon as they recieved the wrong one that were sent. I did just that and figured another week till I receive the proper barrels.

    About a week passed and I received another package but this time when I opened it, it was an apex tip and a barrel sizing kit. Now I needed these barrels before Christmas as one was a gift and the other was for myself, so again I contacted flasc and informed them what had happened (again), I told them that I need them before Christmas and being thee 21st I wasn't sure I would receive them on time. The gentleman and flasc told me to keep the barrel sizing kit that was sent by mistake and that he would over night the barrel so that I would receive them before Christmas and that he would send me some adapters so I could get better use out of the sizing kit.

 The barrels did in fact arrive the next day with two three inch extensions to make a 6" barrel to use with the sizing kit. I am VERY happy with the customer service at flasc, they were very prompt with responses and very helpful, I will from here on in always recommend a flasc barrel or products, and as you will see from my review just why I will.

  So on to the review of my barrels and all the other goodies that I received from flasc.
  12.5" SQB Ported Barrel: I have used a few barrel from various companies on my A5 but none have compared to this barrel, when I first received it I noticed that the barrel is extremely light weight and this worried me at first but I can say that it is of very solid construction. The barrel comes with flasc Gen 2 porting... and Its awesome I use it on my A5 and the marker is so quiet, that my trracer is louder than it no joke. I have fired about 1000 round through it since I received the barrel and have to say its dead on accurate and I have had zero barrel breaks. The great thing about flasc barrels is that they are double threaded so that you can add a variety of barrel tips that flasc makes giving you paintball marker any look you desire, I have an Apex2 (Review coming soon) tip from flasc with their adapter that they supply and I fits great.
  I love the barrel don't really know what else to say about it and I give it a 10/10
   I give this rating based on a very solid construction of the barrel, amazing porting a cool design and the fact that the barrels have the double threading sells me on a perfect score, I can throw the barrel on any marker I choose and just throw a new tip on it giving a variety of looks, a much cheaper option than purchasing a new barrel.

  I recommend this barrel to anyone looking to buy a barrel for their Tippmann marker ( or any other marker for that matter) you wont be disappointed.

 Next review I am going to write is on the micro bore kit so stay tuned for it.

   Thought I forgot about the give away didn't you? Well seeing as though I am more than happy with my flasc barrel I have no use for the micro bore kit and the apex tip.
