If you want the truth, not alot of difference. How different can a tube be to another tube?

Its looks and weight at most.

Well kept, decent round paint, and plenty of training will help with accuracy.
Correct its just a tube

the main thing that makes the difference is the bore sized up to the paint

the shaft 4 barrel is better than the stock 08 barrel as the bore is longer and guiding it further for a more stabalized shot

The problem would be trying to find a shaft 4 barrel tip. Planet only sell the boost kit which comprises of 2 x barrel backs 0.685 & 0.693

correct, thats why I use a un1tec barrel as the control bore is the entire length of the barrel. If any barrel is going to be more accurate than another (doubtful) then its this one.
