Hi and welcome to the forum. I like your sig. and avatar. If you are planning to play any front positions in woods or any speedball I would go with the J&J. You also may want to shop around for other barrels  you have enough for a Flatline.

I would go with the J&J, Lapco Bigshot, All American, Freak Barrel, or the Dye Boomstick.

All great barrels. (The last three are probably a little better than the first two.)

J&J Ceramic. I own one, it pwns.

I've never used a flatline, but I don't really like the idea of it. I don't need extra distance.

the flatline is pretty much a money pit. it costs $150, and you have to use expensive top quality paint or its worthless. to me, its not worth the extra money for just the extra range. even though i have it, i have a J&J Ceramic too, which requires very little if any precauions.

Flatline if you got an A-5, J&J if you got a 98.

Go for the flatline (if you got the a-5)and go for a boomstick or lapco (or j&j)if 98c

I have the flatline and love the extra distance i get everytime i shoot.

Plus if you don't use big freaken paint don't worry about it.the flatline will shoot any paint that's 68.

The flatline is excellent once you get your velocity set right. A good regulator helps with this, and will improve your flatline's performance drastically. Smaller paint helps, but any medium bore paint will shoot well too. With a properly set velocity and a clean barrel, you'll be making spectacularly long ranges shots- eliminations at two hudnred feet and greater are not unknown with a tuned flatline. I won't promise hits like that of course, but the barrel IS capable of doing it. I suppose the most vital thing for the really long range shots, and very accurate mid range ones is your air supply. A regulated flatline is absolutely devastating.
