Hi and welcome to the forum. If you can get your A-5 to look like the pic. I know about twenty guys on this forum who'd give you $2000 for it.  If you are working on a senario/ woods gun the flatline is good but kinda picky on paint. The new werks barrel is good. Also the J&J Ceramic, S.P. All Amer., Lapco Bigshot, You can also look into stocks and a remote line. If you want to play a little speedball with it you will want to keep it small so a drop forward wouldn't be bad. If you want HPA go with Pure Energy or Crossfire and get as high pressure as you can afford. A 68ci./4500psi is the general standard size used. It's all up to you and what your preferred style of play is. I prefer to be up front and in the thick of it, so all of my guns are small, short and manuverable. Go to http://www.pbreview.com - www.pbreview.com to see how diff. products are rated. There are also stickies at the top of all the sections and the search funtion to get you specific info on mods and ups. Have a good one.

Hey! What's your budget like? If you have plenty to spend and want a killer woods gun that's going to both perform and look great, then get a flatline($100) for range, remote($30) for maneuverability, R/T($80) for firepower, good red dot($30) for aiming, stock($60) for stability, and a 6+1 Harness($15) for carrying your tank and extra paint. The flatine requires small bore paint in order for it to perform properly and optimumly. That'll all run ya around $325 give or take a few bucks. If you're on a little tighter budget but still want to upgrade, then start off by getting a barrel. Two awesomely priced barrels that perform like no other are the J&J Full Tilt Ceramic($55) and the Lapco Bigshot($50). Both come in 14" which is my preferred length for overall woods play and both have a medium sized bore which allows them to shoot a variety of paint. After the barrel I'd try to go for the R/T but if it's out of your price range, work on getting a remote and harness($45). The remote will lighten your marker by allowing you to carry your tank on your back instead of on the gun and the remote will also act as an expansion chamber(if using CO2) which will help with your consistency and efficiency. The harness will allow you to carry plenty of extra paint as well as your tank on your back. So given that you didn't get the R/T, you've only spent about a hundred bucks and have improved both your marker and your game. If and when possible, get some sort of firepower upgrade whether it be the R/T or the egrip...either one will improve your marker's performance a great deal. And just a tip, remember...it's not the marker that makes the player, it's the player that makes the most of his marker. Your skill and how you play the game is #1, not how tricked out your marker is. ------------- Name: Paul R. Warman II Location: The Boonies, MI Phone Number: (989)666-XXXX |
