Relatively new to paintball (haven't  played in years), with that said I picked up a slightly used (1 game played) Tippmann Alpha Black Tactical (w/ out E-Grip, but plan on installing very soon). I picked up this marker due to the fact that for $150 I got the marker, hopper, 6 tubes, sling, case of paint, and a brand new mask. Another reason is that I am very fond of the AR platform (own several) and thought I would try the same in a marker. Here is the question, I was wanting to upgrade this gun (quad rail, NC Star red dot or knock off EOTech, and maybe even change the barrels) but I have no clue where to look. I have seen several quad rail systems for the marker for an upwards of $89.00. Is there anything cheaper? I mean slapping a couple of mods in that price range on a $100 marker seems to be awkward and off-putting. Here is the STOCK AB, oh besides the Magpul CTR stock I put on it from the AR for **edited**s and giggles.

I really would like to put on a quadrail, vfg, red dot, maybe move the hopper over and put an auto-feeder on it, maybe even a sniper barrel?? Help me out w/ links or info. Only parts I am finding is firearm rated products that are a bit too high in price to be slapping on a marker......



Got to post my current build as well.

bootleggn,

You will want to change the part of your post that got edited.  As this is a family forum, the mods will hand out strikes for that.

Not a lot of experience on adding rails but I will recommend (since you are considering an e-trigger) that an electronic hopper should take precedence over the rails.
