This is what I've been warning people about. I don't know if you can get it out. You may have to buy a new lens.

I believe the best thing is to contact JT but i'm pretty sure if you remove the iner lens when can put them back on again

A thermal lense has two layers, the front one is the one that protects you, and the one behing avoids the
fog. Anyway, they are joined by some kind of rubber which makes it imposible to reach whatever in between.
In other words, easy to get in, hard to take out.

You could've started a thread with this, or simply search about it, there are a lot of discussions about it and you could've found the info you wanted easily.

Anyways, flatline adds distance, so if this is pretty much what you want, go for a flatline.

Otherwise, any straight barrel on any marker at the same fps will shoot the same distance (even a 20" barrel, but a 20" barrel in turn will make you fill your tank a bit sooner), but they'll differ in accuracy. The most recommended straight barrel is the Lapco Bigshot, or a J&J ceramic. 14" is a safe bet.

As for the mask, best I can say is see if it will dry over time, or contact JT.
