first off, if this has been discussed before, im sorry. now, onto my question.
i want something to give me longer range on my a5. i love my j&j ceramic for accuracy, but i dont want to put an apex tip on it, so i was thinking about putting an apex on my stock a5 barrel. has anyone done this? any major drawbacks to an apex on stock a5 barrel? also, where can i buy just the apex tip other than ebay? all ive found is the whole barrel kit. thanks in advance!

Why do you not want to put the Apex on your J&J?

www.undergroundmodshop.com is where u can get the Apex adapter sleeve for $14.99. and as far as i know, it should work just fine on the stock a5 barrel. the apex without the tip i believe is just under 8" and the stock a5 barrel is 8.5" so it would probly be a lil better. also i believe the bore on the apex is a tiny bit larger so the stock barrel might be a little more pickier on paint then the apex. good luck.



chomelian out.

You can find an Apex for about any barrel on Ebay. You can also find them on other forums. It really does not matter what threads they are because you are just using the tip. The tip is the same no matter what the threads. Buy the cheapest Apex barrel that you can find and then get the adaptor. Take apart the tip and put it on any barrel you want. Just make sure that your adaptor will fit the barrel you are putting it on.

The Stock barrel and the Apex stock barrel are pretty much about the same. I doubt you will see any difference at all.

I would get the Adapter and toss it on that J&J quick, fast, and in a hurry.

i might do that eventually, but for now, my j&j is staying just like it is. and i know that the apex barrel and the stock barrel are about the same, but i cut 2" off my stock barrel, and its kinda nice having something compact every once in a while, especially if its compact with an apex.

I hear you. I cut my stock A5 barrel at the ports too. I was doing a short barrel but then I never used it. I started running just the barrel back from my Empire kit for a CQB barrel.

I saw somebody had cut down his stock barrel so short that when the Apex was attached, the Apex housing was only a couple of millimeters from the hand guard. Looked very interesting.
