Sure is!
Get the A5 threaded one and you're good to go. |

I have not recieved my x7 yet but I have heard that the shroud can inerfear with some barrels. It is supposed to show today I think so I wll try to give you an update. I know a5 barrels with thread up I just don't know how the shrouds affect it. If I remeber on the apex barrel it has a farily strait bore so I think it will proably work. some of the kits or two piecse stuff might have some issues. |

One good thing about the X7 shroud... if you open it up, there is a spacer on the front end. You can remove the spacer to allow for a larger diameter barrel.
The Apex fits without doing anything. |

yeah I just got mine today. the bore opening with the spacer is .880 and the bore opening without the spacer is .990. I like the way the shoud comes on and off easy but it definatly impacts your barrell choices I think. I will have to do some measuring. |

How much did the apex barrel silence the marker, as compared to the oem barrel? ------------- "I followed him down into the steam tunnels and then I saw the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my entire life......Lasslo Hollyfeld....in his pajamas" --Chris Knight, played by Val Kilmer |

Haven't heard it on the A5, but on my 98C it is loud, very loud. I'd say so because it is a pretty short barrel with a set of holes about mid point...just like a Tippmann stock barrel. -------------
