I might want to get Dye Ultralight for my A-5, I believe the barrel bore size for it is .688 the one I am getting at least.  I was wondering if the paint I use is .687 to .690  Would a .688 would with paint like .689 ? and above to .690 would it be fine, its either that or I get a barrel with a bore size of .689  is 1 number really going to matter?

it should be fine. mine is a .688 and it shoots everything.

i have a friend with a .687 freak on his angel, and he shoots HUGE balls through it.

i think paint-bore match is a wee bit overrated anyways, just bunker people and you don't have to worry about missing.

Paint-barrel match is the most important factor in accuracy, although differences that small wont really make a difference. It is better to have paint slighty smaller than the barrel bore however.

I use .688 and .689 mostly if I limited the two farthest ones which I rarely use.  So, what your guys are saying it should really be fine.   Good to hear
