Okay so I modifier an A-5 like this before, and since I got a new one after selling said old one, I've finally gotten off my butt and started putting it together since I started collecting pieces for it last year. I took off the Flatline because I'm going to be using this at D-Day. I still have to bore out the stock barrel so I can put Freak Inserts into it. Other than that it is my CQB marker.

oklahoma d day, its like a d day reinactment(sp) as in WW2. theres like thousands of peope, sounds like a lot of fun, but wow, the flatline wouldve been good, other wise, like they said pretty stock looking, but inserting freak inserts is a cool idea, it probly wont doo much for it tho -------------

Why not just get a freak barrel with a flashpoint 8" tip?

LOL ... Yeah it looks pretty stock but that's the attraction of it for me. I decided to have it look as plan as possible until I get to rip with it. 1.) I have a E-frame but I might take it off for D-Day. I don't think I could fight the tempation of the dark side. 2.) For all intents and purposes, and reading all of Glen Palmers research over the years, you can have a really accurate 8 inch barrel. The first 4 to 5 inches are the most important while the remaining 4 to 3 inches are more of a guide. I figure boreing out the stock barrel and putting in freak inserts would be a sneaky way of getting a tad more consistant shots in the long run. Plus boring out the stock barrel instead of buying one helps cut down on the price. I just needed to get the inserts off E-bay for cheap. 3.) Why no Flatline??? I have one but I'm not going to use it. I've spent the last several years playing in a pump league. During big games I switch off with my A-5 and Phantom. I've gotten to the point that I can hit anything with a normal barrel that I can hit with a Flatline. And if I can't get the angle then I move so I can hit it. Plus the Flatline is clearly heavier than the stock barrel. Weight at this moment is important. I can always switch during the game if I need to. The main goal I had for this marker is to try to modify it as much as possible without changing the outward appearance. I wanted to keep the marker as light as can be to so I have a faster response time. Since I started playing with a Phantom I've noticed that I have a quicker response and snap shot that with the A-5. Granted I've been playing Stock Class so there is no way in the world I'll be able to cut down the A-5's weight that much. I'm going to be roaming in the extra 100 plus aches that were purchased since last years D-Day. I'm mostly going to be doing recon work. So having a lighter marker has its benifits, though I won't be able to switch hands with it due to the remote line. I'm still trying to figure a way around that. If anything I'll put a Lapco Off center site rail and throw a red-dot on it and maybe a actual scope on the side to try and see far away targets, but that starts to become a weight issue. So to everyone that says it looks pretty stock .... THANKS!!!! That means I'm doing something right!!!! Yeah and I think the numbers for D-Day are somewhere around 3 to 4000 people. Yeah I think I'm going e-frame ..... My trigger finger is going to be sore. Then again I may say forget it and just use my Phantom again. ------------- Hauptmann Kurt "SlasherDan" Benson 6th Fallschirmjager-Regiment, Pionere.Kompanie.1 |

Okay what would everyone suggest??? Keep in mind that keeping cost down and the need to keep it looking as cost to stock as possible is the goal here. ------------- Hauptmann Kurt "SlasherDan" Benson 6th Fallschirmjager-Regiment, Pionere.Kompanie.1 |

LOL ... yeah you got me there ... But it doesn't hang down as far and you would think. The front grip is right above my waist line. I figured what the hell ... if it works who cares. When the time comes and something comes around that I like I'll replace it. The marker isn't that heavy and hasn't caused any issue's with running around. ------------- Hauptmann Kurt "SlasherDan" Benson 6th Fallschirmjager-Regiment, Pionere.Kompanie.1 |
