| regulator helps with consistency which helps with accuracy, but a new barrel would help too. I recommend a J&J or Lapco, though if you have a lot of money, get a barrel kit. |

like said above. A J&J or Lapco. The J&J has more porting and the inside is teflon coated which helps shoot through any breaks easier. The lapco is also a goof barrel and is a little louder. if you want the tip to be straighter with no flanging out then go with the J&J. Personally I prefer the J&J anyways. To find the compatability just look for a barrel with 98c threads and it will fit. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

Yes, it should work fine with the JJ.

i've never owned one, so i don't know, but i always thought the inside of a j&j was coated with ceramic. |

Its a ceramic barrel, but the inside is coated with teflon. |

You can indeed. The only (slight problem) that I've mentioned a few times, is the fact that the J&J barrel is much thinner than the stock AB Barrel. Since the front ring where the barrel goes through is not adjustable, the ceramic barrel will have some wiggle room. A few strands of well placed electrical tape solves that problem for good. ------------- ? |

Well do you have an A5 or an autococker? get whichever one you have. Unless you relly like the look of a 16 inch barrel get a 14 inch. Doesn't matter what gun or what settings you may have, 14 inch. |
