Nitro and HPA are the same thing. If you plan to stick with CO2, you can forget the LPK. If you have the money, I would go with the Palmer's rather than the DOP 8-stage. If you're going with HPA, you dont really need the LPK. Go with a Rufus Dawg Wicked bolt. You dont really need any aftermarket internals other than the bolt. Vortex is a good idea if you're keeping the cyclone, which I would. You cant put an Ebolt on an A5. I would go with a RT rather than an Egrip though. As for a barrel, I would go with a JJ Ceramic + UMS adaptor + Apex tip. You shouldnt need the spring kit, but I guess it never hurts to have back-ups. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

Incorrect, sir. With some modding, the Ebolt can fit into an A-5, but I doubt he wants to do that, because he would need the LPK kit for it and a HPA tank. Thats a rather impressive list of upgradesm and I think North summed it up nicely on the things you had questions with. -------------

what would be the best barrel to put a ums adaptor for a apex barrel tip (im stuck between special ops c-series, stiffi, dye ultralite, or lapco bigshot) and could you tell me what type of paintballs i should use for each or let me know where i can find this informatin out thnx in advance. PS im not rich....im just curious..i hope to build this gun over time...or get my rich friend to do it for me

I wouldn't even bother with a Spec-Ops barrel... Also the Lapco Bigshot will not accept the UMS adaptor. I would go with a J&J Ceramic. Cheap, and accurate. -------------

Save your money on the UMS adapter, you can easily make your own. I wouldn't pay 25 bucks for this:  ------------- Milled & Cut 98Custom A.P.E. Board Polished Int. Palmer's Stab. Apex mounted on C.P. Classic Center-Fed Halo B |

actually i think the barrel is being made by stiffi so it can't be 100% Specops "we are woodsball blah blah blah..." (why can't it be we are woodsball we make a living selling stuff worth 5-10 dollars on ebay for alot than that)  ------------- table of what really makes your marker work *Gnomes= autocockers *Fairies= Angels *Pixies= Timmys *leprachauns= tippys *goblins= spyders *elves= mags *lawyers= smartparts Ya I'm that smart |

ive heard that the dye ultralite is a great barrel...is it quiet? Also does anyone know if the ultralite barrel made to fit the A5 is a good barrel and is it compatible with the ums apex adaptor? also, what would give my A5 the best performance?
AND SHOULD I GET A PALMER REGULATOR/STABILIZER??? |

ULs are great barrels and are relatively quiet. You dont need a quiet barrel to be good though. However, if you wish to use the Apex tip, I dont think it will work with the UltraLite. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)
