hey, i,m not going to set here and say the red dot scope is a end all to save all. but, imo it does help with reference, i have tried to take it off , but now that i have used it for almost a year now, my marker doesn't fill right with out it. imo its just another tool, if you utilize it in the correct way, it is very useful, if you stick it on there and fail to tune it...... its just added weight...... peace

Nice setup and equipment . .. you're heading down a similar road as I am with my gear, and you're post even has a similar format. Kudos.

As for red-dots, I just used mine for the first time today (a 42mm NCStar) and I was pretty happy with it. I didn't use it all the time, maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of my targets. It was most helpful for lining up that initial shot. I also found it to play nicely with the flatline. The level trajectory really plays up the aiming potential of the reddot.

How do you like the J&J edge elite barrel kit?

I love my J&J Kit. I love it so much I'm selling off my flatline. Very accurate. Ive noticed a decent decrease in range due to the lack of backspin that the flatline gave, but I am now able to tag people very effectively at closer ranges. Plus its nice to be able to choose a specific adapter for the paint your using.

Nice setup bud, I am going for a similar setup within the next few weeks. I plan on selling my flatline(on ebay now) and using that money along with the money from selling my red dot to purchase the J&J Edge Elite Kit. This kit seems great and for $90 you can't beat having 3 great fronts and 5 backs.
