Very nice. Weaver rails = cool. Makes you want to attach stuff.
EDIT - but cut off the bottom of that hopper feedneck. How does it shoot? |

I am thinking about Warp feeding it. Nice and compact then! It shoots WONDERFULLY. Fast, efficient, and the Apex is far more accurate than I would have ever expected. Thus far, best marker I have ever owned. Whaddya think, Clark ... tactical flashlight under the front to jazz it up?  ------------- If I flee, kill me If I die, avenge me |

| Liking it a lot. Very unique look, needs some grips though. |

| why does it even need new grips guys? the stock ones are comfy |

The stock grips do feel very good. If I did make a change, it would be for
aesthetic purposes only. 'Bolt: No problem, my man!  ------------- If I flee, kill me If I die, avenge me |

Very cool. One of the nicest Ions I've seen. The flashlight would look killer on it. I agreeo ncutting down the hopper feedneck a bit. Nice work so far! The NDZ ultralite rail & on/off is a great rail/ASA combo. Wood grips or Contract Killer grips would look nice. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

Nice. If you adjusted your dwell after putting the qev in you'll get the full benefit of it, I believe its 13-14 clicks from the bottom. ------------- Imagine there’s a picture of your favourite thing here. |

Get the SP on/off. I have it,works great! Looks awesome man just get some stickies on it and an ASA. ------------- Thinking about it... |

SP on/off could work too. Might as well get the s rail if you go that route. I've got 2 sp on/offs and they work good. My vote still goes for the uni. they are the sexiest of all the real beni of the uni is how smoooooth it shuts off |

This marker is built with the belief that FUNCTION > FORM.
Nothing on here (unless I add a tactical flashlight for the heck of it) that is not GO over SHOW. Light, fast, accurate, and can shoot with/outshoot Flatlines. What more can one ask for? ------------- If I flee, kill me If I die, avenge me |

Ya it is an excellent milsim gun and he didn't use a tippy so props to him. I think the apex could use a tiny shroud or an aimer that sticks up fromt he barrel because the apex looks a little awkward with a big thing on the end and a somewhat big rail but nothing inbetween. But I still love it. - great job -> form over function for sure. 9.5/10 |

I stand behind function before form as well. I'll most likely never have a milsim gun because I refuse to add weight that does nothing more than make the gun look a certain way. If I can tear a jewel off to save 1/100 of a gram I'll do it.

Ban him for asking a question? Give me a break ... All you guys scream about "USE THE SEARCH!!!" Then, when someone actually goes back and does some research, you whine about them bumping older threads and demand banning like villagers in an old Frankenstein movie. Just because a thread is not hot off the presses, does that make the info any less relevant? You guys do realize that your responses bumped the thread too, right?
