Check out the underground mod shop for a barrel. They have 98 flatlilines in an A 5 shroud and will attach to the A 5. I cant help u out with chicago but im sure you can find the info ur lookin for by doin a quick search on the net. |

all you'd need is an a5-98 barrel adaptor, but then again, you'd need to find a shroud to fit, otherwise it'll look pretty funky ------------- 98 Custom milled;painted;J&J Ceramic;X-Chamber;R/T;Cyclone. |

Go to Tippmannparts.com and get the a5 flat line front bracket and rear
bracket, then get a piece of 1-3/4" pvc and cut to the length you want.
you will have to grind/polish out to ends to make the brackets fit. You
will also have to grind/polish out the inside about 2-1/2" in from the
front bracket because the 98 flat line has more curve than the a5
barrel and will not slide thru the pvc pipe with out rubbing/ actually
bending the pipe. If you get it mounted rught it will actually shoot
farther/better than the a5 barrel, but not quite as far as the apex.
The apex is cheaper to buy also, and has more adjustments.But your
choice. Action Village is just a little north of chicago, and there is also "Bad Boys Sports" and "Warped Sports" in Merriville,Ind. about 35/40 miles south of chicago. ------------- |
