    Posted: 01 February 2005 at 5:26pm

Here boys is my custom painted A-5, aka Sharkie.  I intended on painting it with effective camo, but got lost with design.  Now it's more of a looker than a hider.  I did everything myself with an air brush kit.  I planned on doing more to the collapsable stock, but got lazy(and anxious.)  Not bad seeing as this is the 2nd object I've ever painted with an air brush.

A close up pic. of the side to show detail.  Note that I removed the origonal sights that came stock, but didn't fill in the voids.

Another angle...

And remember, if you think it is too shiny or the green was too light, you'll have to address those complaints to Mr. Sharkie

And for curious minds, here my setup:
13"Armson Stealth Barrel
BT Collapsable Car Stock
Lapco Offset Sight Rail
Pro Team ASR Sight Rail
Daisy Point Sight
Shoulder Strap(5 lbs. gun, and we walk far into the woods)
Remote Line
Double Trigger(removed until I get an R/T, so very soon)

Before you all say the same thing, I have no interest in paying an additional $50 more than what I payed for my stealth barrel for a flatline barrel.  The Stealth barrel is a sure head shot a 50 yards without a sight.  Now that I have the sight equipt, I planned on lowering my shots fired/kills taken ratio quite a bit.  Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to zeroing it in yet.

I just wanted to do something different than everyone else.  I know it won't hide all that good in the woods, but if anyone gets close enough to see me I'm not doing my job right.

Sweet camo. I love the hopper, but why did you go from black and green to white?

If you want to make it camouflaged for the winter time, seeing as your stock is white, youcan look in to buying a new set of receiver halves at countypaintball. That is what I am going to do as soon as I come up with the $60.

The barrel is not tapped.  It is just a camo bandana thats wrapped around it and tied down.

Bango, that's an interesting idea, but my group doesn't play in the cold.  I was going to do alot more on the stock, but through laziness finished it gray.  I'll get back to it later, when I figure out exactly what I want to do.

If you really wanted to make yer A5 look more like a Shark since you named it "Sharkie", you shouldve used dull grey where the green paint is located and I like shark teeth and eyes, reminds me of the Flying Tigers during WWII...8/10.
