Just Picked This Up *Updated*

Well I am in the market for a new market and I ran across this beauty.  I have wanted a procarbine since the first time I played so I finally bought one for under 50 bucks.  I always had a hard time finding them for under 75 so I am quite happy with this find.

This isnt my pic since I havent received it yet but it should look earily similar to this one .

Also it is black the flash gave it the redish look according to the seller.

 

New*

So when I got the gun it didnt work... no linkage arm.  So I stripped it down, cleaned it, polished the parts up, got a new linkage arm, the metal sight to hold the linkge arm in and I just got in th 8" Lapco.  Dremeled the grip up so it would fit (did a pretty even job and you can't tell of any flaws unless you look right down the barrel and not too many people will get that close anyways).  But it looks quite nice so i figured I would throw it up here.

Nice pickup.  I was always a fan of the sliding grip/elbow.  (I regret parting with mine also.)

i kinda want one to mess around with.

i used my A-5 for the first time in forever a few weeks ago, functioned perfectly. i love my tippmanns

I wouldn't go dumping money into it, I don't know what else you have for guns, but I'm assuming this is primarily a pull out for fun type of deal?

I would put a fiber-optic sight and a good gravity-fed hopper* on it and have an ultra-basic semi-auto for those less competitive "fun" games.  Plus it makes for a system that will always work as a back-up since the marker itself is bullet-proof and the accessories are simple.

*The Indian Springs one with the feed channel is good; there is also another one with dual feed channels (the name escapes me) that is highly recommended as well.

updates on first post

its tight but yes... i didnt want to take anymore off with the dremel though.  I figure it will just rub out further if it needs to.  but it seems to work just fine with no hiccups.  I love the look on it though.

nice work, looks alot better now.

That cleaned up very nicely.  

The only other thing to do now is clean up the grip a bit and clean up that trigger.  i may even make the safety black but not sure yet.  I was thinking about the firepower but i like it as is.  I am getting out of the higher bps and relying mainly on my trigger finger lately.  Really when i bought this i bought it to be a tank of a gun and for low maintenance.  so far what i have put into it outweighs what i paid for it lol.  As far as any future plans i may re anno it one day to put something new on the side but that would be way down the road.  Honestly i cant wait to play with it.
edit* I did lso buy an air thru stock for both this and my trilogy.  it hooks up to the asa (hence why i bought a new one that aims straighter back)  looks god and feels decent on this one but perfect on the trilogy.
