Tippmann 98 Custom A.C.T. - Response Trigger, Cyclone Feeder, X-7 hopper, J&J 20 inch ceramic barrel, Apex Tip

Not the strongest material, but i haven't had any problems regarding that.
Review:
This barrel is one of the best I've seen and used. Its smooth internals make it very accurate and it pretty quiet. It shoots best with RPS Stingers and paintballs that are a liilte bigger. I have an Apex Tip attached to the end and all of my friends are scared of my gun. Hahaha! In a few occasions I've shot someone and the person next to them didn't even know due to it being so quiet.
Conclusion:
I would for sure buy this barrel for your gun. It has got to be one of the top barrels out there.
I recently aquired an abused 98 custom that I'm rebuilding... I think I'll be getting a J&J ceramic for it... I've got one on my A5 and I like it a lot
