My latest project. Great conversion kit from opsgear.
The object at the left side of the tri-weaver rail is a flashlight. If you want more photos, or a complete review, let me know here. I would like to say that the parts came in on Friday afternoon and I had the entire thing completed within 30 minutes. Say what you want about OpsGear but they make good products in my opinion and they get them to you on time. They are of good quality and above all, they look great! If you'd prefer to use parts for airsoft guns, then that's great, go for it.  -------------

I put the 14" sniper barel on at lunch today.... i haven't
used it yet but it really improved the overall look of the project since the barrel has the "flash surpressor" built in to it and it's longer. I haven't tested the barrel yet but will do so this evening. I also added a laser to the barrel. I shoot some photos this evening and post them tomorrow...i might add that this is the same stock (repainted) from the camo gun in the "New A-5 Project thread." My hat's off to Opsgear on this one. the conversion parts went on without a hitch!!!!! and they're right, it's VERY sturdy! -------------

I've pulled parts from Airsoft (many sources), JCS, OpsGear and real
military surplus (my foregrips are real AR15/M16 mounts) and honestly,
if it looks good and you like it, I say roll with it. Regardless of
where it came from. Personally, I'm no gunsmith but I want a cool looking gun (which I'm working on). Should I HAVE to scour the internet for parts that I MIGHT could use on my marker? Nope. But I do poke around in Military surplus and gun shows for the stuff. Sites like OpsGear just make it easier to find what we want. To the folks that machine their own parts and do prefab work to come up with something new, KEEP ON! I love seeing that stuff. Just make sure that when it gets mass produced that the price point stays affordable.  |

Yeah, G36s rock. I got a G36 handguard that I made for my 98. I have no money so I have to make all the parts which I guess is half the fun. Gun looks good, but as said before, if you have money, anyone can do it. Still pretty sweet. ------------- Axe in the head, early to bed, Axe in the helmet, a thanks to Helmut... and I support Bush!

This shot shows the new tri-rail that Opsgear is
offering. Note, it won't work on the A-5 without some milling work or mounting it on another weaver rail. 
i agree with you guys, manufacturing your own parts is fun and lots of times I will scour the gun shows here for stuff I can put to use, like the M4 carrying handle on one of my other projects. Then you'll use something and someone will flame you because i'f not an accurate piece from an actual weapon. I just don't get that. I built this one to be a replica and ot a hybrid because the G-36 is my favorite weapon. -------------

scope on backwards? Anyways,.....opsgear started out their biz by using
airsoft parts so there really is no difference.

Thanks for the comments everyone. In answer to some of the last
questions, no, the Tasco scope is on right - looks kind of weird but it works really great. I'll try to find some way to shoot a photo through it so you can see how bright the red dot is in bright light. The barrel really isn't that bad. It's no flatline but it's infinitly better than the one that Tippmann supplies with the A-5. In fact, it's the 14" Tippmann sniper barrel. I actually kind of like it and it does look cool. Yeah, I know, "looks aren't everything." It performs quite well!!!! I just put a three-point sling on it courtesy of Frost Wolf. Thanks dude!!! -------------

| I just bought an A-5 and an E-Grip (not installed yet). I plan on ordering the G36 kit from opsgear, also. One thing I've been worried about is what barrel is the best barrel to use with the kit. Will the flatline barrel work with the kit installed? If not, what should I buy instead? |
Posted By: MuRdoc18
Date Posted: 08 September 2004 at 3:41pm

If you go to opsgear's forum that question will be answered better. But
i believe the stealthline barrels look awesome with the g36 kit.

I personally just can't understand the thrill with "mil-sims". I mean, if it doesn't do anything for the actual performance, why have it there? For example the mag that's clear so you can see the fake bullets? I don't mean to sound like I'm insulting anyone, I just don't understand the need nor desire. Again, no offense intended at all. Obviously you've put a lot of time and money into your gun. |

It adds more action, gets you involved even more. For some people having a real looking marker rather than something that looks more toyish can make the game of paintball more fun. Most milsimers are people that enjoy first person shooters, action movies, or anything military. (at least thats how i am) But if you dont dig the real feel, you wont understand it, but alot of people do.
Obviously you havent shot it so your bet is wrong. They are great barrels, esspecially for milsim. -------------

I can see that others frown upon it, but it doesen't really matter to me, because my crew and I go for realistics as far as looks, only problem is that my crew was just sent to Iraq for the better half of 2 years, so there goes 7 members of a 12 player crew. ------------- ~Solid-Snake~ "Revenge is a dish that is best served cold". |

Here's an idea I haven't seen anyone do. If they have, I haven't seen it.
Take the grip assembly from an A5 that's had an egrip installed and has a flatline barrel. Remove the triggerguard. then attach the grip to the flatline using black cable zip ties available from Radio Shack. The grip assembly should have three holes already in it (third from the removal of the safety). Wonder what that would look like?

There are a lot of comments about converting airsoft parts to fit the
Tippmanns and to be honest, I think that however you choose to convert your marker is fine. Choose whatever method you want. That's what makes all this so much fun isn't it. I mean, as long as you're happy with the final product what difference does it make how you arrived at it? The only problem with manufacturing your own parts is that you have to spend the time figuring out how to attach various components so they'll stay put. I've now converted 4 Tippmann A5's to various stages. Most of you have probably seen most of them I think. I prefer to use Opsgear because I like the service I've gotten from them and the parts have been exactly what they advertised. And, they're really not that bad price-wise. I've been looking at the markers you all are posting and the majority of them are very good! -------------
