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.

Looks good! Great choice of ups too. I wouldn't change a single thing on it!

I'm digging the whole set up. Really like your use of the inline stab.

9/10 overall.

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.
