a5 flatline vs ???

[liquid1187]

I have an a5 pb gun and I was wondering if the flatline barrel would be my best choice. Please give me some ideas on if theres a better barrel for the a5.

Flatline gives you range and mediocre accuracy, IMO.

There are other barrels you can buy that will be more accurate but you'lll never get close to the range of the Flatline. IMO, the Flatline is a niche barrel, there is a very small contingent of people whose playing style is actually condusive to using the Flatline, the rest of us are better off with traditional straight bore barrels.

We have a sticky on the Flatline if you are interested and a forum for Barrels if you want to learn more about them. Here's a list to get you started:

Custom Products 1 Piece
Lapco Big Shot
J&J Ceramic
Dye Ultralite
Stiffi
Smart Parts Teardrop
Smart Parts Progressive

All of those are excellent barrels that you should consider looking into.
