How did you get a scratch inside the barrel? Anyway, J&J Ceramic or Teardrop will work fine.
The desire for polyester is just to powerful.

I would say 14 inch boomstick if u have enough money, they are pretty accurate but the price is real high...

but why would you not want to get a flatline? thats the best for woodsball.... o well

Go with TearDrop. Its cent for cent the best barrel out there.

If you get a bonus this Christmas, get the Boomstick. The performance is unreal... so is the price.

Ill tell you why you dont want to get the flatline. if you compare the quality of the barrel to the price it is terrible. yeah it will allow you shoot over a greater distance but it isnt consistant. It is my expereience which leads me to believe that consistantcy of the barrel is the most important component of every barrel. my suggestion would be the tear drop 14" or J&J ceramic 14" barrels. Boomstick is also real good.

J&J 12" ceramic. it self cleans, so it can help you in those dirty situations in the woods(not too sure bout that but i know that it really does self clean). i would still recommend the flatline......

so i'd go with the J&J 12" or the lapco bigshot 12" or 8"

the J&J's self cleaning can help you out if the winter gets your paint all brittle so when one pops, i't be cleaned up after 2-3 shots.

whatever is your choice, go for it

Yes boomsticks are quite good but expensive. Everyone has a right to there opinion, you eather love flatline or hate it, i personally like it alot.  They are also pretty expensive... but when you do shoot a person from 200ft away in woodsball and hear a loud "AHHH" across the field its all worth it hehe
