Very nice.

Weaver rails = cool.  Makes you want to attach stuff.

 

EDIT - but cut off the bottom of that hopper feedneck.

How does it shoot?

Yeah, that would be cooler, but about 3x as expensive too.

I am thinking about Warp feeding it. Nice and compact then!

It shoots WONDERFULLY. Fast, efficient, and the Apex is far more
accurate than I would have ever expected.

Thus far, best marker I have ever owned.

Whaddya think, Clark ... tactical flashlight under the front to jazz it up?

The stock grips do feel very good. If I did make a change, it would be for
aesthetic purposes only.

Very cool. One of the nicest Ions I've seen. The flashlight would look killer on it. I agreeo ncutting down the hopper feedneck a bit. Nice work so far!

The NDZ ultralite rail & on/off is a great rail/ASA combo. Wood grips or Contract Killer grips would look nice.

Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good.

Nice.  If you adjusted your dwell after putting the qev in you'll get the full benefit of it, I believe its 13-14 clicks from the bottom.
