| 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. ------------- WGP orracle cp flame drop MACdev gladiator reg Evil pipe kit 68/5000 tank evlutionII w/zboard A-5 ultralite e-grip w/jcs duel trigger 45/4500 crossfire LPK,cp reg Drop forward |

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. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

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
