It's not possible to water "proof" it. Even with a barrel sleeve, you forgot about the trigger. Huge hole there. I have wanted to seal my A-5 better though, around the bolt paths. Oil leaks out between the receiver halves, which also means air thats could be doing more useful things leaks out. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |
