From what I hear, no. Should have read some reviews before you bought it.

...how much did u pay for it...?  You should have gone with a J&J Ceramics or a Lapco Bigshot  They are both under 50..and the J&J is even cheaper..30 bux...try canceling your order if it isnt too late..idk

why are you asking us if its good, after you buy it?

 tippmann is terrible at making barrels. their only descent barrel is the flatline.

I dont know whereISmy A-5, I just went to pb review.com and the ratings were:

Lapco big shot barrel: 9.4

J&J Performance Ceramic: 9.2

Flatline barrel: 8.7

Dye boom Stick: 9.5

WERKS BARREL: 9.7

So in conclusion I did shop and I picked the best rated barrel. and I think this time tippmann is going to do a good job on this barrel.

The Werks had 7 reviews, so you can't exactly count on it having an accurate rating. Most likely, the 7 reviewers are the ones who bought it with the assumption it'd be good, and didn't have experience with other good barrels, and looking at the reviews, they didn't. They had the assumption it'd be good, and therefore it wouldn't really matter how good they thought it was, because they had no experience with other barrels.
