Nice job Bango. Did you do the variations in the paint job with clear coat or flat v. gloss paint. ------------- One shot, One kill.... Oh, wait. What fun is that? TEN shots, one kill, and a bunch of welts on your back. |

| Awesome, finally someone tried milling off the lip in front of the front grip. I've been thinking about doing that for a while. Nice Gun! |

how did you get the rear sight off? and also, how did you get the TIPPMANN A5 logo off? Also, (I am a noob), what is the difference between the regulator-? and a Low Pressure Kit? Thanks |

He milled them off. That is to say, he used a file and saw and sandpaper to remove the sight and lettering and smooth it out. After that, he repainted it. As for the reg vs. LPK (low pressure kit), they are two different systems. The reg connects to the LPK to regulate the pressure going into the marker. The LPK itself is a hollow chamber that increases the volume of air going to the reg. The more volume, the lower the pressure. PS: It's good to see a newbie that catches their mistakes and is literate. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"
