I cant see as to how waxing the inside of a barrel will make it shoot better. What reasoning do you have? Enlighten me. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

i dunno if you look at the stock barrel the insides are all not smooth and on the higher end barrels they are like mirrors. I cant test this out because i sold my tippy so i want someone to try it and post the results because i think it might work. ------------- tippmann 98c Custom Camo PaintJob Empire Twister 14" http://img455.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscn08747bm.jpg">

But that doesn't affect accuracy. Accuracy is determined by paint to bore match. If you have crappy paint to bore match you will have crappy accuracy. -------------

the best improvement for a stock barrel is to smash it and buy a good one ------------- http://img76.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stickemup6of.jpg">

I heard that if you cut the stock barrel at a 45 degree angle like this>/____ you can get a flatline like effect. IDK if it accually works but it might. ------------- http://tbish.webs.com/tippy.html - My E-Bolted 98 |

Throw the stock out and buy a new one, its a proven fact that 98c/A-5 stock barrels are horrible. Isnt this a paintball idea though? w/e ------------- A-5 Response Trigger DOP Blade Trigger Polished Internals X-Chamber Custom Paint 14" J&J |

My dad has this thing that you stick tubes in and it heats them, then you can bend them.. Wonder if i could bend it like the flatline?

that would be really tough to do because flatlines are like bent almost exactly the same (each one i mean) so you could try it and get back to me cuse now i wanna kno if it works (i think you would have alot of trouble though but good luck)
and bye the wayi think car wax would slow the ball down ------------- Tippmann A-5 Palmer Male Vertical Adapter D.O.P. Drop Forward Lapco Big Shot 14" No Trigger Spring E-grip |
