It really looks great and balences well with the stock A5 Barrel, but I would also like to hit the broad side of a barn. I have a 12in all american but it looks horable, it just doesn't flow with the lines of the gun.

sounds to me like your more worried about how your gun looks than how it shoots preformance should always come before looks.

Well, I was not satisfied with either and no reason why I couldn't have both. I thought its preformance with the flatline was mediocre at best, acuracy was almost as poor as the stock barrel and I'm almost always to close to the OPFOR to take advatage of its improved flat tragectory. And it was heavy and ugly on top of it.

I whent with a 10" palmers, a MP5SD short shoud, made my own mock supressor and now I have a very fuctional as well as asteticly pleasing gun. In other words, I got my cake and I'm pigging out.

I think almost any aftermarket barrel is better than the stock one, regardless of length.

After reading through I'm glad you went with the Brass. I was going to recommend either that, or a RAP4 Recon barrel.
