Ive had this gun since early 2003 and its still running fine.

The green paintjob i did held up very well...  alot better than i had expected. All i did was strip the two reciever halves and degrease them with gunscrubber.  2-3 light layers of flat OD green spraypaint followed about 5-6 very thin  layers of semigloss clearcoat.

**CURRENT CONFIGURATION**
Tippmann – A-5 Marker
Tippmann – E-Grip Electronic Grip Frame
Tippmann – X7 Low Profile Hopper
Dead On Paintball – Vertical adapter
CO2 Expansion Chamber
Dead On Paintball – Rear Velocity Adjuster
Lapco – Drop Forward Adapter
Dye – Full Length Drop Forward
Empire – On/Off Drop Cradle
Bob Long – 0-1200psi Microgauge
Macroline Kit


**BARRELS**
BT – Apex Barrel
Tippmann – Flatline
32 Degrees – Whisper 14”
J&J – Ceramic 12”
Chopped Tippmann Stock Barrel

the only thing thats kinda bugging me and this is really minor is that there is some trigger bounce that i think is just from the recoil. Anybody know of some tips to get rid of that?

I am not sure for the trigger bounce, but I dont really like that shade of green, but to each his own. Everything else is good though.

My A-5 has trigger bounce too. I'm not quite sure what to do about it though, I pretty much just let it be. At any rate, nice gun; the green is kinda funky, but the upgrades are pretty good.

It looks 'Splatmaster' green.

Question:  Do you have the gas-through grip or the expansion chamber mounted on the marker?

I see...  For some reason i called the DOP Vertical Adapter a gas thru foregrip in the description


Whats on the gun in the pics is the vertical adapter and an X chamber.
I think its a 32degrees 4stage but i cant remember.
