I posted this marker recently as part of the "family" shot. But I
went to a gun show today and bought a different mag that I installed a little while ago and thought you MilSimmers might like to see. It's just something a little different. 
NEW PHOTOS ON PAGE 2!!!! -------------

The black is the first coat. I'll do the gray grassy camo as soon as the first coat dries completely. Good eye dude!! -------------

| The drum must of cost a pretty penny, may I ask how much? But the whole thing looks real good. I admire your paintjob and work that went into it. |

It looks pretty cool. I think I would like another mag on there, but it looks good. How much did it cost you? ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

There was a booth at the gun show selling them for $150.00 each (Chinese made) and naturally I balked at that! But a guy was walking around with it for sale and I got it for $30.00!!! I thought that was an ok price for it. I now have the camo painted on it and will post another photo tomorrow. You guys have a pretty good idea though....food in it? Hmmmm, maybe enough room for a big mac!!! Just for the record though, it's a Chinese made drum magazine for an AK47. -------------

recently I have started to dislike milsims, but i have always liked the look of yours. My only suggestion would be to get the drum closer to the body of the A-5, maybe you could cut off an inch from the top of the mag. ------------- All about the Snow. |

It is heavy. But for scenario paintball, it's ok to be a little heavy. Here's the promised photo of the marker with the drum painted to match the body: 
and again as promised in another post, here;s the final on the CQB: Stock folded (with dual mags): 
Stock unfolded (single mag):

[QUOTE=ss88] Oh and also i want to know if your bipod is rotational.[/
QUOTE] The bipod only folds down and back up. It doesn't rotate. The paint came from Home Depot. It's RustOLeum Textured Black and Dark Pewter. It dries with a "Parkerized" look that is pretty flat. If you paint outside on a sunny day, it dries in about an hour or less, depending on how much you spray. Use thin coats, it seems to work better that way. Cut your camo design out of photo paper (it doesn't curl when wet) and LIGHTLY spray through the stencil you made...notice on the side of the drum how I didn't allow the spray to go all the way to the end of the bottom of the stencil. Oh and BTW, even though no one has said anytning, the sling mount idea came from Greedy!!! Pretty good idea i thought!!! You ought to see his marker!!!!! -------------

Nice work. I plan on trying to paint old marker frames that I have busted upcoming this summer. I'll have too see how that goes as practice. Seeing work like this and a few others, keeps me coming back for more. -------------

| what kind of bipod is that, where did u get it, how much id it cost? thanks |
Posted By: nauzerlvr
Date Posted: 12 December 2004 at 9:05pm
The bipod came from Wal-Mart (believe it or not) and if it's not a Harris, it's an exact copy!!! Cost was about $39.00 I think and then you have to buy a mount. Make sure you get the right one. It was $9 or $10 at Academy Sports. It comes with swivels and some other parts you'll probably discard. When you mount the bipod you have a ready made sling mount built in (look closely at the bottom) and you can use the other swivel for the rear attachment point. -------------

 put my gun to shame.I think this is appropriate to say  :Holy  that just makes me  . Aside from the fact that  your gun collection is just  but in a good way. I must now  to the true master of the A-5 and tell you that your A-5 is indeed  so  and   . definent  .Although I would suggest painting the hopper to match the gun. Keep it up.  .-GrEEdY ------------- Tricked? Sick? Uber?
