Well I finished it a while ago, but I forgot to post it here. What I look for in a marker is function over form. Of course, I like a marker to look good, but if I can find a happy medium between the two I'll be quite content. Well, that's what I tried to do. I assessed my needs and wants and built, IMO, a reliable, durable, balanced, comfortable, and somewhat speedy A-5. So without further adu........     What she's got: E-grip (old style) JCS Duel Trigger Apex Barrel Gas Thru T-Stock Ricochet R5 Inline Stabilizer Camo Graphics Kit Bob Long Mini Gauge Polished Internals Other small pieces not worth listing Tell me what you guys think. I may want a name for it, but I'm not sure yet. If you have suggestions.......give 'em up. |

| Thanks guys. I've been using this setup for almost 2 months now, and it really has been working out well for me. I'm glad you guys like it. In the future I may get: APE Rampage Board, PPS QEV Kit, and a better barrel to put the Apex tip on. |

| Looks good and your future ups will make it one nice gun. I'm not a big fan of the graphics kit, I just dont like them for whatever reason. |
