I just wanted to keep it at 1 thread for 1 marker, though I did also show a pic or two in a Duracoat thread.
The cost was $350 (which was the cost of it new, though its no longer in production), but I had only put a downpayment of $150 on it when my wife picked up the rest of the tab and surprised me with it for our anniversary. I was floored. She was actually listening to me when I told her all about it, remembered it for a gift and took the time to figure out where the shop was! |

Updated pics with the Scepter (finally) installed, below. I had to have it run through a lathe and add an o-ring as the launcher's barrel adapter was just sliding right out of the receivers when assembled. Still missing a couple of screws and the airline but I'm switching it over to macro so I didn't want to bother hooking it all up just yet.
full specs: Tippmann A-5 Guess I can call this one done. My next project is to build an A-5 for under $1K that both looks good and can keep up with the high-end markers at my local field. I want it tight and fast, so I'm thinking A-5 + Bullpup shroud + QLoader. I already have an SR12 and an eGrip for it, but will post pics in a new message as it starts to come together. Edit: got the Bullpup shroud and a double trigger; just need a QLoader now; will update in new post Edited by netramakin - 03 August 2007 at 4:33pm |

Thanks, folks. I used the same pattern on my Scepter launcher, but I have to sand down the SD a tad further to get it to fit. Will post pics when its done. I also have to finish the DuraClear on some parts, get a new screw set and put a swivel on the SD version, but I think I'm going to mount that one to a modified stock site as there is a second site hole on the SD shroud. I'd eventually like to get a solid air-thru stock and MP5 handguard, too, for another look, but I've dumped enough cash into it for now. Hey mamasboi, check out this link for tips on Duracoating, if you go that route. Works alot better than paint. Edited by netramakin - 19 July 2007 at 11:27pm |

Okay, I finally finished Duracoating it. Took me over a month for various reasons that I will detail in the thread that I linked to, above, when I get a chance. I figured I'd throw a few pics up in the meantime, though. It still has a few small details to take care of, but otherwise I'll call it done. Let me know what you think. |

Oh well. Who knows, it could look awesome, and I'll look like an idiot. Hahaha. I'm almost done with my A5AK. There is a top sight rail cover that I want to get for it, but other than that, its done.
