Ok i am purchasing a mini in about a month.So far my wife has bought me a 7th element board,cp trigger,and a lp spring for my crossfire tank.Im looking at purchasing the 12 inch flasc barrel and am unsure of a good bore size.I was thinking a .693 and .687.Is that a good choice for bore sizes.Also is what she bought me so far any good?I want the boss bolt as well or is there a better bolt choice?thanks in advance for your time.

I would go with a standard .689 barrel. Or go for the .693 and get a TechT iFit kit for bore sizing! TechT iFit Barrel System - Any Paintball Gun Barrel Upgrade Kit . As for the bolt, I would opt for the TechT MRT bolt. I like the delrin version. myself... MRT Bolt for Invert MINI and AXE

I'll be running the boss bolt when I pick up my Axe at the end of the month. So I have no idea if it will be good or not. Boss is suppose to be doing a review on it shortly but he needs good weather in his area to do so. TechT make some good bolts but I've heard more people going back to stock than continuing to run with TechT bolt. I don't know if TechT had a chance to check out the problem but at this point I think stock bolt might do you just fine. May want to play with it a few games before you go ahead with getting a different bolt.

As for barrel, I agree with Canuckistani. I'll be running mine with stock barrel and TechT iFit system. Bore size usually depend on what paint you get locally. Since I've been all over the place, it's hard for me to find my sweet spot for paint size so bringing my iFit/Python system makes it handy to bore the paint correctly.

As far as your question on the upgrades, all of them are good choices. You should have a very fun time with that. I don't know if I'll be going APE with my Axe or sticking with the stock board but I'll have to see how it pans out when I play at Castle Conquest with 1300+ other players.

Do keep us updated when you do get your mini, eh?
