I liked the upper rail on XArmy's gun so I raided my parts box and
came up with this rail to add to my marker. Just a minor addition but
I think I improves the looks. And for those who are concerned about
weight...not heavy at all. Just looks a little hefty but most
MilSimmers don't mind that. The TacLight comes off easily. It
depends on how we play if it stays on or not.

Also someone asked me about the mounting of my sling. Look at the
inset in the lower right for that.

Yeah, It's a paint technique called "dry brushing." You just kind of hit
the raised areas with a brush almost dry with silver paint. If there's
interest, I'll post a "how to" in the modification section complete with
photos. Just let me know.

I like it a lot. It looked awesome without the rail, but it really helps. Nice job!!

Nice. A how to article would be great if you get the time.
NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil.

Most of the parts like the top rail, the electronic sight, Grip cover, polymer
magazine, etc. came from local gun shows. The regular paintball parts, like
the EGrip, and hopper came from HobbyTown USA. The drop forward came
from Academy Sports, the front handguard and Lapco barrel came from
Opsgear as did the mag adapter...it's kind of a "gun stew" huh?

I'll start doing an article on how to do the paint in the next day or so...look
for it in the next few days. It'll take a little time to do the photos.

I don't see where on OPSGEAR you got that handguard from. Must be an older one. I really like the top section with the M-16 carry handle, the scope rail, and the handguard so I want to do something like that if I ever pick up an A-5 again. It just looks like such a kickass setup to have (if the clip could be moved back a bit)
