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

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
