Ok, since Nauzerlvr went to the trouble of painting this marker, I told him I'd post it. 



This is the marker that I use on our Mil-Sim games, and it's really not supposed to look like anything, but it's just something I've put together out of playing.

Additions to the stock A5 are:

Flatline Barrel - Works VERY well for us in woodsball.

Flatline Barrel shround w. Weaver Rails - Use this for mounting front grip, flashlights (both uv and led for night games) and laser sights.

Front Foregrip - Actually an AR-15 grip I got at a gun show. I didn't like how close the stock grip was to the handle, so I moved it forward.

Mag Kit - Since I moved the front grip forward, it left a gap on the body of the gun. Put the Mag kit there to take up the space.

Sight Rail - Since the weaver rail covers blocked the front sight nib, I used the sight rail to elevate my view. the hopper doesn't block it, so it actually works. :)

Stock - Sometimes I use it, sometimes I don't. Depends on the terrain. If I'm not using it, I've got the standard back plate with a sling attatched to it.

E-Trigger - Tried normal, response trig and e-trigger. Liked e-trig the most.

Internal mods:
Hyperstar bolt
polished internals

Camo paint - Cool night grass effect with a parkerized finish, to protect the marker and give it a uniform feel.

Not asking for a rating, but I've made comments and suggestions about other people's markers so it's only fair that I post mine.

Thanks Smitty. :) It's more about functionality for me when it comes to looks really, which is why I mentioned that it wasn't supposed to look like anything.

Thanks Fallout! I'd not seen that, and it's EXACTLY what I've been looking for. I was going to do some work on the shround of the flatline to shorten it so I could put a M-16 style nib on it, but I like this one much better.

It looks like you put time and effort into it which makes it credible, but in my opinion, it's fugly.
