My A-5 Strikes Back

Long story short, I sold this baby about 3 years ago for a good amount.  The kid mistreated it and lent it out to other players who trashed it.  I finally got it back from him only to find the the piston from the on/off jammed in the valve, the powertube damaged beyond repair, the paintjob corroding and flaking off, and the cyclone feed broken.  I pumped money back into it (probably too much) and got her up and running again.  I also stripped off the paint job and actually kinda like the raw-metal look so I put some protectant on it and will be  leaving it as is.



- E-Grip w/ JCS double trigger
- Dead On drop forward w/ on-off
- DYE 12" Boomstick barrel
- Delrin front bolt
- Aluminum powertube (might be replaced)
- Dead On rear velocity adjuster

Looks pretty good. Glad you salvaged it.

I feel you on the drop and macro, but I have two concerns.  If I lose the drop, the gun is like 50 feet long and uncomfortable to play wit, the drop may look fugly but it shortens it up.  The macroline is a concern as I would usually be using CO2 with it and the braided hose is more durable.

I don't shoulder the tank with that drop

I have the same drop setup on my A-5.  I also like my marker shortened up and even with my 114/3000 tank on the marker, it balances almost perfectly when I hold it with one hand.  It just ever so slightly tips up at the barrel.  I will always take functionality over aesthetics when it comes to paintball.
