Looks good. May I recommend removing the front sight; it doesn't match the carry handle's sight level. I'm also wondering about the green rubber strip on the side. Aside from those two elements, you rig looks great. I'm also a fan of the apex. Question: Where and how did you get a hold of your stock? |

hey looking good, try black side panels over the green, and if you get a M16 front sight i think that will improve the look further ------------- SPC Antarios Sponsored by http://www.tippmann.com - Tippmann Sports Team Videos @ http://www.bodcam.co.uk - Bodcam.co.uk |

Hi guys. The M16 front sight that tippmann sells doesn't fit over the APEX barrel, anyone have a suggestion? The green handguard rail was just something I was trying, never intended to keep it. |

| tried that. the apex barrel is too thick for it, so is the stock X7 barrel. The sight that Tippmann sells for the x7 wont even fit over the stock barrel. Wierd right? |

Will you need to attach the front sight to the foregrip in order to keep the sight from running into the grenade launcher when it comes time to remove the barrel and squegee it? Also, the Apex barrel you have now is too short to have the front sight, and the Apex tip effectively. I only say that because its a biatch removing the barrel with both the front sight and the Apex. May I recommend buying the BT 16 Apex barrel (which is longer like mine). In order for that to work, you will need to remove the BT16's grip. Could look cool and function well. Your marker looks good. |

Hi there, I am new to this forum and to paintball.
I ordered a X7 with the M-16 look. Now I have been reading trough so many articles and read a lot about "Gas-Thru Buttstock". How do I do this. My X7 will arrive on Friday and I choose the CAR Buttstock. How to I change this to have a gas thru buttstock? Will this work with this buttstock?
Thanks for anyone who can point me in the right direction.
By the way, nice look on the gun |

There really is no way to get an air-thru on the CARR stock because of the collapsible feature. The only air-thru stock out is this one. http://www.specialopspaintball.com/shop/product_detail.asp?SKU=210+0068&CAT=107202304411 - http://www.specialopspaintball.com/shop/product_detail.asp?S KU=210+0068&CAT=107202304411 |
