I do agree the skull grips look good but I'm going to have to say the stock grip would probably feel better because of the molding in it.

About the stock, I wasn't saying you should switch between the end cap and stock on the field. Well, I don't know. For me, games last 15 minutes and I could live through the remaining amount of time not switching. Your gun looks like a woodsball setup so the games last a long time. You would need to bring both. I'm starting to see when you would want to change it though. Say you're walking through the woods on the lookout. That's when you would use the stock. Then you find someone and go hide behind a tree. That's when you would want a low profile and would fold it up. Correct? And if I already had a stock, I wouldn't ditch it either and go for a new one. But if I had to buy one, it would be the f/x one. Also, I noticed how well HPA tanks feel on your shoulder recently. I think you should leave the stock off and use your unimount. CO2 tanks don't make much of a stock but the nitrogen tanks do.

Also Greedy, I tried to find the sling mod parts but couldn't find it all. I'd have to buy two 9 dollar kits from Walmart to get both of the bolt type screws. Each kit came with two sling things, one fine threaded bolt and one course threaded one. I decided to return it because I did'nt want to spend twenty bucks. I tried 2 different gun stores and neither had just the fine threaded bolt.

And I think you should change your sig up some. Seems kind of rude to me and it makes everyone think their own gun is crap. Just my opinion.

Thanx for the suggestions Boydster but I'm never going to go back to the double grip look. I agree though, the Palmer is long but meh, I can deal with it.

I was planning on taking some pics with the barrel kit but I got lazy and just didn't, I'll have to do that soon so everyone can see the other variotion. The stock plastic 45 grip is well, boring, the skulls spice it up but I still have the original one of course.

RVA, I don't think it will fit, plus I don't have a need for it. Then again I don't have a neet for alot of things. The reason for the folding stock is simple, although you're right, it's just two pins to take off, you'd have to be carrying the original backplate with you when you're on the field if you wanted to take it off. With the folding on, you just fold it. Plus it's an expensive stock, I can't just ditch it. At least not yet .

Can't please everyone evil-NYX but thank you for commenting .

Here's another idea... Buy a Pro-Team Sniper f/x full stock to replace the one you have.

It's not adjustable or foldable but it looks so cool. I'm not a fan of stocks but if I ever got one, that would be it. It's one peice, doesn't wobble, and gives a good solid feel.

And on the A-5, why have the foldability? You just remove two quick strip pins and it's out... Just throw the stock endcap or RVA in and you have a speedball gun. 20 second job. I can see why people would want folding stocks on the model 98, but not the A-5.

I'm glad to see you finally got a fire power upgrade. That seems a little wierd though... You spent 800+ dollars on your gun and it never could shoot over 7 balls a second until now.

If I were you, I'd use your stock front grip and put the Palmer in the tombstone adapter. The Palmer, in my opinion, is already really long and to have it on the vertical adapter just makes it longer. And for me, I'm a little weiry to hold the Palmer as tight as I do to the front grip. Seems like the threads might break or something.

I like the look of the J&J grip frame but the old plastic grip feels so much better. Well, compared to the 98, the plastic grips feel a lot better. It's pretty much the same though, right?

The only things I can suggest to you is get an RVA, use the barrel kit instead of the Flatline, and use the stock front grip.

9.8/10 Awesome!

At least you're honest.  A little exaggeration would have been nice.

can you look down the barrel when the stock is folded on top?

Obviously school is in your case too. It's "waste".

Well I'm glad I don't have a mil-sim.

I do have a different barrel, I went with a Karnivor Kaner Kit made by Worr Games (WGP). I'll get some pictures of it up after I put my gun back together.

Thanx for the comments!

put a uni mount on it and lose the stock unless you play woods but it looks like a speedball setup take off the flatline and put your kit on it i dig the grips you can do whatever you want with you gun though nice job
