    Posted: 27 March 2006 at 2:55am

ok well first off i would just like to say thank you for the advice on getting the A-5 i love it and willstick to it untill it decomposes and rots and pretty much fall appart.

 

OK NOW WAT I WANTED TO ASK YOU PEOPLE.

so i got my a-5, and i want a better barrel ( the stock barrel is not to my likeing) so....what should i get? i have heard good things about the Lapco Bigshot 14" and good things about the freak barels. and many more. especially flatline and apex. but what should i do? lets not talkabout price, just name the best barrel for the a-5. i need it to shoot nice and strate especially at a low velocity (guess that rulles the flatline out) so.......some advice plz?

THANK YOU!

Well...the only one of those that I've used are the Apex and the Flatline, and I prefer the Apex, but the Flatline is still good. I don't know how the Apex will do at low velocities though. It shoots straight for at least 200 feet at ~290 FPS. If you want a really accurate barrel, then I've heard good things about Dye Boomsticks, but they're around $140.

I've heard the bigshot in any size is the best barrel for the price.  I'm saving up to get one after I can get that apex adaptor...

Bigshot is definitely the best single-bore barrel you can buy.
