i voted other, because i'd pick a J&J Ceramic. I have one and love it. it's true that you can literally shoot the barrel clean. i don't carry a swab or anything with me anymore... ------------- 98 Custom milled;painted;J&J Ceramic;X-Chamber;R/T;Cyclone. |

Of the choices you've listed (I have all of them), my personal choice would be 12" Lapco Bigshot.
J&J Ceramic is an excellent choice as well. |

| I agree with Shorty on this one. 12" Lapco Bigshot is the way to go. Great barrel. |

Any kit would be better than a single piece barrel. Get ur freak on.

| My first barrel upgrade for my A-5 was the flatline. Awesome barrel when the paint is high quality and the velocity is set right. I also have a lapacos 14 barrel which is also great but not the distance of the flatline |

Bigshot is by far the best for the money.
I own one, you will not regret it. ------------- Sig is WAY too big. |

Depends on what kind of paint you shoot.
If you typically shoot "cheaper" paint, then medium bore size is what you'll want. Lapco Bigshot. .689 If you typically shoot "tournament grade" paint, this paint is more towards the small side. Small bore barrel... Lapco Autospirit. .687 |

Bigshot. Two Piece does nothing for you unless you have a kit. -------------

Personally I think there are better kits out there than the Freak. I don't like the entire barrel insert concept. I'm using the Redz Pepper Stix kit on my NME and Orracle and its amazing. .689 is the most widely used bore since it works with most paint. -------------
