I don't know how it happened but my flatline barrel got a little scratched up today.  There are about 5 small scratches on the upper interior surface.  It seems to scratch really easily.

What type of effect on accuracy can I expect?

Can the barrel be refinished??

its fine. unless they are like really deep scratches becusae you put razor blades on you barrle swab...

but its fine. they all get "sctrached" looking in the inside. it will not effect the preformance of the flatline. eventually the surface will begin to wear down (afer 250,000 shots) and then you will need to send it back to Tippmann for re surfacing.

i know alot of people who have had their flalines a long time and some of them are so scratched up and smooth on the inside its scary.

so do not worry

It's fine, the scratches shouldn't hurt anything. All of them end up like that.
NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil.
