For a stock tippmann A-5, in your opinion what should be the priority in which one spends his/her money in upgrading it'll be helpful if you state your specification for either woodball/speedball or the combination or low/high budget upgrade or recommended brand for certain products

First is always a new barrel. the barrel depends on woods or speed...
second is often a drop forward, or nitro, double trigger, RT... it kinda just fans out from barrel depending on what you want... |

Defiantly the barrel. For that I'd suggest the Smart Parts All American. They cost $70, but will give you great accuracy and reduced noise. That's for either speed or woods.

I would also say barrel first. I have a 14 inch JJ ceramic, and I love it. They are a bit cheaper than some other barrels, but they perform well. jj |

Either get the All American, or the Freak kit. My choice would be a Freak (good accuracy, killer looks, light weight, and changeable bore sizes.) The Freak Kit is about $80-100, but I think it's worth it. Then I'd either go with the RT, or the E-grip. The E-grip is useable at tourneys, and can get up to 15 bps, I think. I know that many fields don't allow the RT, but that's good too.

is an upgraded Front bolt much of a good upgrade for its price? |

^^Same as with the A-5, considering they use the same front bolt.

I agree with almost everyone else. Get a better barrel or a barrel kit. Then get a firepower upgrade.
