So I got a good deal on a stock a5 and while it's missing the goodies I want which is rt, flatline, squishy paddles because it's an older model, the older grip design opens the door for more used rt purchase options.   Meaning that a new grip frame isn't necessary.

I actually bought it from a guy that worked at the shop that I got my 98 from and it's super clean and I always look for items that people just leave alone and don't mess with. The cost to add what I want will be a wash given the purchase price and I'll know what went down installing it.

So this will be a winner project and in the spring I'll be able to set phasers to the rock and roll position.

So I've got a barrel adapter coming which will allow me to run the freak by itself,python apexed edge, or a python/freak barrel. This brings up the need or lack of the need for dual control bores but many guys are running dual freak backs meaning the second back is being re threaded like a front. This is just going to help the efficiency of a gun that likes a lot of air to begin with and should tighten grouping.

At this point I'm having second thoughts on the flatline and I didn't want to go public with this a second time but tons of people were complaining, even screaming about how terrible the paint is at Hell Survivors. Many people aren't going back to hell survivors or have already disregarded it as a field to play at. The problem is that not many people are publicly giving feedback to usher in a simple paint change.

They had evil and marbs and I'm completely convince that the paint quality is tiered and THE worst garbage I've seen and I tried both types.   I cleaned paint out of barrels all day,broken paint in the bags, paint breaking loading pods, even breaking sitting in the bags somehow.

If my suspicion is right and tiered quality is available from the paint companies, their reputation in on the line doing so.

A business owner could also learn from the park systems in Michigan.   The state rose park passes a few years back and people quit going to the parks. They lowered prices and the parks thriving.

It would make good business sense to offer quality paint and make absolute sure that the players understand that changes are being made.   I'm really hoping that they step up or I'm just going to start playing speedball again at a field that is about fifteen minutes away with world cup quality talent.

Step up and do the right thing hs.

I'll probably transfer this info to its own thread and in other forms if there isn't a transparent effort to display a willingness to correct this.
