I have a J&J Ceramic. You cannot shoot them clean. You have to squeegee them out just like any other barrel. ------------- A-5 Armson DOT Sight Armson Raised Sightrail DOP Bullet Drop DOP RVA DOP X-Core DOP Vertical Adapter E-Grip(APE) Flatline Barrel HPA JCS Duel Trigger Lightening Bolt QEPH Vortex Mod |

The bigshot is the ONLY barrel I recommend. It's the best barrel available (not counting barrel systems like the snapshot, etc.) and run right about $50.
Buy it. You'll be very happy. I also noticed you asked about a rifled barrel. Trust me, you do NOT want a rifled barrel. They don't improve accuracy. They only increase breaks inside the barrel. ------------- http://www.EZOfficePool.com - Free NXL and NPPL Office Pools, pw: 'gogged' http://www.CountySports.com/shop/news.php - Newsletter - Coupons |

The 32D Whisper seems to be a popular "cheap" barrel as well, although I have not shot one myself. Also, look around for people selling off their old barrels. I picked up a Smart Parts All American for a steal a few years back. You should also be able to find the SP Progessive for under $50 new. ------------- "We do it until our balls break!"

I say either the Cemaric, or the bigshot... The Cemaric is much
easier to clean out a break but the bigshot is quite a bit more accurate. -------------

CP one piece Aluminum. That thing is a beast and will even shoot crappy
paint pretty well. I havn't had a barrel break yet, except for Toledo
Indoor's uber crappy field paint.
