    Posted: 06 July 2006 at 11:16pm

i have a

Tippmann A5 (Dusk Finish)

-Low Pressure Kit

-Egrip (APE Rampage Board)

-JCS Trigger

-TechT Tippmann Regulator

-Vortex Mod

-Drop Forward

-14" Tippmann sniper Barrel

-use compressed air

-Dead on power tube proseal

-polished internels

 

is there any more upgrades that would be useful?

i talked to the guy at my proshop about the rear volocity adjuster and he said that its usless and i told him im using a lpk and he also said that those are pointless. (i think hes wrong) i dont need a diff. regulator or a barrel-they work great.

ps: dont sujest painting it, ive been down that route

   Honestly, besides maybe a new barrel, you're good to go. I'd just spend money on paint/air, and field fees. Also think about buying/upgrading other gear such as packs, goggles, etc. if you don't already have what you want.

New grips (stickies, hybrids, etc.) don't exist for the A-5.

Ok, it's been said, but apparently it needs repeating...  This is an A-5, so stickies are a NO GO.  I have seen on one or two sites that they make a sort of grip tape that you can stick onto you e-grip frame.  Not sure on price, or where to find them, but they are out there.  And if i'm not mistaken, there's no Rocket Cock for it either.  I have seen a guy over at PCOG that made a pretty sweet rear cocking mod though.

I would definately suggest a QEV setup (and larger than stock diameter hose if you don't already have it), and the R-5 is a lot more streamline than the flat face of a stock A-5 hopper.  Or if you're looking for capacity, try some of the larger replacement hoppers.

Something that hasn't been addressed is the ability to get more out of your ape board.  They make a whole trigger set and super selonoid.  But then that stuff does get expensive, so it really depends on your budget.  The stuff would be an upgrade from your current setup though.

I know you said the Barrel and Reg are good, and shoot great, but a Palmers and something like a Freak Barrel would really increase your performance.  That's just a suggestion though. Good luck and Happy Hunting

So you got the APE board with the Super Selonoid attached then.  That's what I was suggesting.  A lot of poeple that upgrade boards ignore the selonoid.  I just didn't see where you had mentioned that you got the board and 'noid. 

Like MeanMan said, All American's ar great.  I also like Freaks and Evil Drivers.
