TechT iFIT Bore Kits: Simple Upgrades in Paintball Barrel Accuracy

Accuracy is the defining element that makes one paintball player deemed a ‘sniper’ over another. Sniper paintball guns are not bought, they are created by assembling the right parts in conjunction with the caliber of paintball fired. People always underestimate the importance of matching the inner bore of a barrel to the variation in .68 caliber paintball being used. Not all paint is created equal… we’re not only taking about quality here. Paint differs drastically in caliber size from one manufacturer, or even model, to the next. Paintballs are getting smaller and smaller, especially as guns operate on lower pressures. 0.68 caliber manufacturers are dipping down in the .670 arena. Aftermarket barrel manufactures who make their barrels in specific bore sizes (.690, .686 and so forth) are struggling to keep up. The trend over the past few years was to go with a ‘barrel kit’, such as a Hammerhead Bangstikxx, Redz Pepper Stick or Smart Parts Freak Kit. These kits are great, but come with a high price tag. The inserts and barrel backs that allow the barrel to adapt to a different size .68 ball are unique to that specific barrel kit. Meaning that you have to use that specific manufacturer’s barrel in conjuction with that bore changing kit.

Python Paintball was a company that designed the ‘Compression Kit’. This kit allowed the user to added a bore system to all the same threaded barrels in his/her bag. Now now you could achieve bore-match capablities to your stock barrel or any of your favorite barrels that wasn’t offered in ‘barrel kit’ form by the manufacturer. Not only is it convenient but also an economical way of gaining accuracy and performance across the boards. Python sold a lot of their quality kits but the name and product was more grass-roots only known in inner paintball circles and between members of certain chat and paintball forums. TechT Paintball realized the genius behind the product and adopted the concept, redeveloping the concept in conjuction with Python, and releasing their own version called the TechT iFIT Bore Kit.

TechT Paintball has a huge following of customers stemming from woodsball to tournament play. Their parts not only work but truly upgrade performance and people have taking notice over the years. It’s that exact reason why TechT can bring this technology to the forefront of paintball, tapping into their existing customer base to help spread the word.

TechT’s barrel system is offered in both 6 and 9 piece iFIT insert kits. Each kit includes a barrel adapter specifically threaded to work with your gun. The iFIT adapter is threaded inside to accept the specific barrel thread and also externally to screw into the marker. The iFIT kits come in just about every barrel thread on the market today include A5 (X7), Autococker, Spyder, 98, Ion/Impulse and also some of the unique thread patterns used on barrel fronts by manufacturers such as Hammerhead. Determine which insert will match the paintball that you’ll be firing.  Add the insert to the adapter and screw it to the end of the barrel.  Screw the entire unit to the paintball markerand fire away.  It’s as easy as that!

Testing not only shows better accuracy, but better air efficiency. These results are crucial for snipers especially as manufacturers are pumping out smaller and smaller paintballs.
