PMI premiums work well, but i've heard from many that the range sucks on those barrels so it's a nono for anyone but front players. But they clean out very well,

ok.....so that eliminates one choice.....now should i get a lapco bigshot stainless, dye stainless, 32 nyte stick, or maybe even the jt 2 piece?

How does range have anything to do with the barrel and not the FPS, other than a Flatline's backspin?

Anywho, I have a 12" 32º Carbon Fiber barrel on my Automag. It does seem to "self-clean" pretty well. There have been times when I broke a ball using it and never noticed until I opened my hopper to reload and found the evidence.

You asking me, Rebel? It's for an Automag, 12" version. I really wasn't planning on selling it, but if you offer a bit more, considering it goes for $80/new......
