How did you get a scratch inside the barrel? Anyway, J&J Ceramic or Teardrop will work fine.

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 ------------- A-5 Response Trigger DOP Blade Trigger Polished Internals X-Chamber Custom Paint 14" J&J |

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. ------------- A-5 7.5" Bigshot Lapco Flash Supressor SpecOps Foregrip Lapco Offset Lapco Bottomline Hogue Handall Grip Polished Internals Maddmann Spring Kit R5 Remote Line 3-point Tactical Sling |

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. ------------- M98 14" tear drop expansion chamber Evo II Rocket cock star bolt and other mods |

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 ------------- A-5 Response Trigger DOP Blade Trigger Polished Internals X-Chamber Custom Paint 14" J&J |
