    Posted: 02 July 2008 at 2:50pm
So I have been surfing these forums for a couple of months and I think it is about time I put some pics of my A-5 up.





So there she is.

Longbow Stock
Palmers Inline stab
SpecOps Tombstone
X-7 Hopper
J&J 14" Barrel
JCS RedHot Power Tube & Hex bolt
RT trigger
Shocktech front grip
Air Hog 08 grips
A couple of 1/4" bolts instead of pins in the back (kept breaking)

Needs a little bit of paint but that can wait till the down time of winter. So let me know what you think. Thanks

i love those fat grips, they make the gun alot meatier. are those cl0ne's? 

if i were you and i wanted to do more, i would buy one of those machine-gun shrouds for your barrel, and maybe paint your front grip with a duller black, its kinda shiney. nice a5 man.

Nice looking gun. Simple yet functional.

Yes they are his grips. I know him by another name Also I find it hard to put anything on the gun just for looks. I am going for performance and comfort upgrades only. With that said I do like the look of the machine-gun shrouds Stuff I will be adding soon will be cyclone vortex mod and a see thru smoke cyclone housing with green paddles.

Well...the machine gun shroud protects the outside of your barrel, and is still simple-looking.  Not excessive like some of the other stuff.  For example I have a Dye Ultralite on my tippmann, and I like to protect my investment.

Nice stock.

Tippmann 98 Custom/ACT
E-trigger/WAS
Commando Stock or M-4 CAR
Dye Ultralite
Machine Gun Shroud
Sight Rail w/CCO
Cyclone Feed
X-Chamber
PMI P-E 72Ci 3000 PSI

That's gotta be the funkiest Longbow I've ever seen. It looks so "Borg" like. Cool marker man.

Why didn't you just put the Palmer's into the Tombstone?

Just wondering, as it seems to just make the gun less clean looking, and serve no function--but maybe I'm missing something.

I put it on the stock because I wanted an air-through stock. Also the male stab would get in my way because of the way I hold the gun when switching sides of a bunker.

I thought that customizing a marker was not leaving it stock. Doesn't everyone customize their marker to some degree?
