 I cant decide what type of barrel to get for my a5. im looking at either a palmers or lapco big shot. im attaching apex tip to either. i was looking at a nonported palmers but heard the ported was better. then heard it didnt matter, also cant decide on what type of bolt and power tube. leaning towards a rap4 powertube and a shocktech bolt. looking for any info.....Confused

what about hammerhead, jj, freak, stifi, smart parts, it all depends on how much you are willing to spend

The only bolt/powertube configuration I would use aside from stock is the (new) Rufus Dawg Wicked bolt setup.
It will shoot brittle paint better than any other bolt out there.
I have tried lot's of bolts with no noticable affect performance wise over stock.
 
Search barrels on the forum. There are tons of opinion threads on which is best.

So does the stock one, so why change it?
