    Posted: 23 November 2006 at 12:40pm

I am looking to set my A-5 up like a M4.

My fav right now is the OPSGEAR short M4 barrel kit. (10 inch) NICE!

I like shorter barrell like 10inches or no more that 12, no the 14 or 16 inches like a M-16 would be

So my ? are is the OPSGEAR 10 inch M4 barrel better that the stock barrel? How much better, is it a med size bore for paint?

OR should i get a lapco  or another type to Affter market barrel and try to find a M$ kit for it

So my next ?  IF you had a stcck A-5 barrel, the Posgear 10 inch M4 barrer and a 12 inch lapco, how much difference is theri between all ther barrels?

get a black freak barrel kit,and get a milsim barrel shroud.you will achieve the best accuracy that way.

yes get an after market barrel and then get a shroud to fit it. 

Don't keep the stock barrel.

I suggest J&J Ceramic.

Look into a LAPCO 12" Bigshot then find a M4 shroud that's compatible with it.

The Opsgear barrel should be better than stock, but not the best.

I would suggest one of the new SOC barrel things that specops created, with a M16 barrel tip muzzle brake thing.

Ever tried www.pbreview.com ?

By far, one of the best milson barrels would be the lapco bigshot. Comes in 8,10,12,14,16,18 and 20 inch lengths.

It is deadly accurate and looks good on any setup; especially the M4 series.

The stock barrel is garbage, do it right the first time and use your money to buy a good barrel that will last a lifetime.

Have a 8" Bigshot on my A5 and am very happy with it.

That would provide for excellent accuracy, but could, depending on the shroud and how it attaches, make changing inserts difficult.
