Ok hears the deal Used A-5 with R/T, Flatline, 6 stage Mag x-chamber,MP5 stock, Drop Foward. Extras: Remote Line, 9" barrel.

I currenly use a 98c with a "real picky about paint" flatline barrel, that doesn't seem to shoot faster than 255fps, after trying all sorts of things. The a-5 is for sale around 350.00 plus shipping.

What do you think? I feel like it's a no-brainer but I'm open for input.

That's really not a great deal, in my opinion. True, the gun and RT itself cost about $350, but I don't care for any of the other stuff. Plus, you said it was used, which can sometimes mean that it doesn't work that great. If you were thinking about getting a new gun, get the electronic Custom Pro and trick that out to the $350 limit. It will be a better gun.

tippys dont have a good resale rate.  I personally dont like the flatline, so i would get what hot shot said,

custom pro e(230) + halo(or egg) = about 320(or 290)

if you get the egg and pro e you can get a nice barrel, and a drop for 60- you can get a JanJ barrel, and a expansion chamber or dro

so

Custom Pro E(230)   Egg2(60)    JJ barrel(30)  = 320

you can get a exchamber or a drop for 30

It's not the deal of the century, but ok I suppose. But it's really gonna come down to what shape it's in. If it's beat, then don't get it, vice-verca.
