I like the Special, but I'm not a fan of the 'speedball' upgrades on the Carbine. Not my thing. Pretty nice though. |

I can understand the sentiment about the "speedball" upgrades. I look at it and wonder what the heck I was thinking. But then I play with it (usually in the front and in the dirt). I can run, dive and generally flail about, and tuck in very tight to whatever cover I'm using. I dont play speedball, I've tried it, and I much prefer rec-ball or woodsball. I'd like to check out some scenario games sometime too. The Special just got a new grip with a palm rest, and the used automag boomstick I found should be back from the lathe soon. I'll get some pics up of that as soon as I am able. Working on HPA for the carbine. Anyone selling their used A5 cheap  Nigel F |

Updated pics!
carbine with a crossfire 68/3000, and some stainless line w/quick disconnect (not much new here)  Heres the fun part. I bought some ergo grips with a palm rest, and found an old centerfeed automag boomstick for cheap, and had it turned down to fit the special. I mostly like the sheer ludicricy of it ;)  Nigel F |

I like'm both. I have a few .68 carbines, but not a .68 special. The special looks interesting, a few questions about it; The grips that you put on there are made for an AR-15? The barrel that was turned down on a lathe is it still threaded or is it now a clamp fit? |

Regarding the grips, yes, the Special has the lonestar style grip, so most AR-15 family grips will fit. And yes, the special uses a clamp fit barrel. The old automag barrels werent threaded to begin with. But it has been turned down on a lathe. Nigel F |

^^^ Thanks for the information. The barrel and the grip look great on there, it makes me want a .68 special.
