i heard the progressive sucks cause of the rifling and the linear is pretty good.

DO NOT get the 18 inch the highest you should go is 16 -------------

Hey, Unless SP screwed with something, there is no rifling. The porting is sorta rifled, but not the actual barrel. Rifling is hit-or-miss, Armson is awesome, but others like Tru-Flight are 50/50. Good luck ------------- "HO is right..." - Procarbinefreak |

| Rifling does nothing for a paintball, no matter who produces the barrel... And get a J&J Ceramic. |

| rifle barrels are rifled bc it helps the trajectory of the bullet, theres no rifling in paintball barrels, there arent grooves to really help it, the inside of my barrel is all smooth |
