The investment is much better spent elsewhere in the gun, namely a decent hop-up set up. Any cheap barrel will likely yield a performance decrease and this is due to the manufacturing process. Cheaper barrels tend to not have a consistent bore diameter and bore surface finish which both lead to innacuracy.....

Thanks for all the feedback!! Yeah, I'm thinking my accuracy issues are grease related and they should work themselves out. As far as hop-up, it is set from the factory. What can I do if anything with the hop-up; ie. can it be altered? Can/should I look at upgrading it or the gasket between it and the barrel?
