I got this guna couple of weeks ago and have been waiting for my barrel to come before I took pictures and it finally came so here it is can you rate it please and try to consider that it is my first gun. And what other upgrades should I get (please don't say HPA because I can't get it where i live (middle of nowhereville))
And how well does the aluminum grip from lapco with the blade trigger work with the R/t.


SPECS:

A-5
R/T
xcore with black macroline
14" All american barrel with all american from
Vforce shield green
2 X 16oz co2 tanks

Noice!

IMO, you shouldn't listen to anybody on here trying to give you more tips on upgrades. Thats the point of customizing it, get your gun to your own degree, don't make it a clone.

How is the 45 grip with the r/t because I heard that the Double trigger wasn't that good with it and I was wondering about the blade trigger on the lapco grip

8.5/10
 its a nice setup, not too upgraded, but it sure does get the job done.
people have differnt comments on a double trigger vs single trigger with an rt. some say single trigger is easier to sweetspot, others say a double trigger is easier to sweetspot. the best thing would be to try it out for yourself.
 also, take the front grip off, and use the x-chamber as a grip.

yeah the reason the freont grip is stll on is because I just showed my bro it for the first time and he found his hands were too cramped with just the x-chamber so I put the grip back on and I haven't taken it off again I will do that and maybe take a new pic.

  • RVA (20)
  • HPA (+150-) -The oshman's by me sells a tank for 80 bucks.
  • Egrip (120) -You have an R/T so it's not really needed.
  • Drop forward or unimount (30-40) -You need a grip block too.

I say you get a drop forward and an RVA.
