Well done Mack, very informative and answered quite a few questions that i had. Ive just bought an A5 and will be going down the Mil-sim path, as im ex military and it allows me to live the glory days, so to speak.

Well, I read most of it and will be back to finish it over time. I'm new hear and a new A5 owner. I have been a beginner woods-baller for about a year but only recently purchased the A5. I'm into the mechanical side of things as I am a MX bike mechanic (suspension mostly) and am really enjoying learning about my new gun. Thanks VERY MUCH for taking the time to create this post-IT ROCKS!!! |

"Make sure the buffer o-ring is reinstalled around the spring and spring guide."
Does this apply to the new A-5, which has a different end cap? I haven't even really tried to remove my end cap or the buffer, and I think they don't really come apart. Besides this, I generally use a stock. I think that I tend toward the mil-sim look. Maybe you can understood, since you've already carried around an M16 for quite a while longer than I did. |

advice would be to not spend under a hundred dollars. most markers brand new under 100 are crap. try to find a 98 custom package with a mask and a tank.

Hey, I wanted to buy a new marker and had a few questions.
First i have trouble on deciding between the x7 egrip or the x7 phenom
I know they are pretty similar for upgrades but i still cant decide
can someone please tell me some differences and which would be better for me
im looking for range, versitility and easily upgradible
I also realized the x7 has 2 more rails than the phenom.
I also wanted to know if the flatline barrel is worth it.
So in the end, which is truly more worth it and why
THE X7 or THE X7 PHENOM

Phenom. It has the E-grip in it. It is also the newest model. The flatline is worth it if you play in the woods. Without question.

I'm asking myself something... If I lubricate the inside of my gun's barrel, will it reduces the friction between the ball and the metal of the barrel and make the ball go further? |

no. and the reason the flatline works is because the top is SLIGHTLY gripped and the bottom is SLIGHTLY lubed (if i'm not mistaken) which gives it more backspin, giving it the extra distance.
unless your a smith or handy with tools i wouldn't recommend trying to fiddle around with the barrel too much. the lube isn't going to do much.
if you have a tippmann you might want to look into a flatline system, they can be pretty cheap on ebay. the only thing is they can be picky with paint. or you could look into an APEX barrel
