Alright since this is a new product and I have just recieved it, I will give the tippmann public my overall oppinion on it since there is not much info out there on this: First off, i decided to get this b/c I have had my custom for many years and after years of use, it was either buy 50 dollar recievers that could get scratched again or this nifty little camo sticker thingy: Now, i paid mine for 25 with free installation. You have to soak the gun in alcohol to get the paint coat off first, thus making it stick better. Also the stickers DO NOT, and i repeat, DON NOT COVER THE WHOLE GUN! It covers MOST OF IT. The only parts that do not get covered are the sides or the sight rail (making it possible to mount a sight still), the part by the barrel (which i could understand since a barrel may tarnish it easily, underneath the gun recievers (as in the part parallel under neath the sight rail, same length and width etc.), and finally the part right above the handle on a 98 custom. Now i cant say much about an a-5 b/c i do not have one so my oppion and review would be nonsense. Conclusion: For 20-25 bucks very good buy to add that woodsballish look or even to cover up a few minor scratches (like me :-p) It does not feel like you are holding a gun wrapped in duct tape (although i have a guitar that is wrapped in duct tape lol), it feels like an actual shell of a gun. I dont think it matters if the sight rail, underneath the fun, nor the barrel part was not covered. ALTHOUGH, i really wish they covered up the part above the handle. I do not know why they never gave that piece out?. I think 9 out of 10 b/c of the handle problem , it seems solid and a cheap alternative to a paintjob! Just, find someone to do it for you like me, perferably a pro shop and not John Smith down the street. If you would like to see a close up, look at my pic i posted earlier in the Market gallery forum.

I was so scared b/c when I called him up (the guy at the proshop) and asked to see if it was done and asked how it looked he was like, eh its ok.....It was really nice. 2 problems by the handle and by the back of the cocking knob (where you would put a stock if you would like one..) He scared the hell out of me lol. ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom -14 Inch Bead Blasted Bigshot -RT Kit -Trigger X2 -Cyclone Feed -Lp Kit -Palmers Male Stabilizer -Crossfire Nitro Tank -Sticky Grips -Camo Graphics -S.S.
