IMO your paintjob would look better if you had painted the whole thing, but on the parts you did paint it looks good. -------------

Swap out the barrel for something longer, and you'll have a pretty sweet looking marker.

Future plan: I've been looking at the trinity 14'' military barrel and the maddog 14'' military barrel. Anyone have these? More of an M4 look. (Picatiny rails on the sides) I won't be removing the name plates out of respect for the army. (I come from a long line of Army men) I got stenicls from http://www.tacticalcamo.com - www.tacticalcamo.com for $20 The guy who makes them (Sean) is very helpful and the stencils are top quality. I will be updating pics soon when my sight rail and scope come in. Also When i get a new barrel. Thanks for the comments guys!

I've got a J&J 14" ceramic on mine and it works great. I've also kept the US Army logo on it, I've got a brother whose an Army grunt, and I've never really had a problem with the emblem being on there in the first place. As far as performance for the marker, I can't say enough good things about it myself. Oh, and a sling is extremely helpful  ------------- ? |

Funny, I was going to say that I would have left the magazine unpainted as well. Anyway, it looks good. -------------

Thanks Guys! It feels good to put so many hours in on a marker and have everyone appreciate the hard work! Reb Cpl does your J&J Barrel fit snugly in the stock shroud? I do have a one point sling on the stock. Got it from ebay for like $5. You can't really see it in the pics. Glad you like the "kill" skull idea kurieitaa! and yes there is no killing in paintball ha ha! I will Deff update pics soon! Thanks again everyone! I deff agree with you Rep Cpl on the performance of this marker! For the price this really is one hell of a product!

Right? That guy came from nowhere just to make fun of you... What a douche! Yeah tactical Camo has all kinds of stencils not just digi. Let me know if you paint up a marker I'll wanna see!

Meh, the Ceramic fits inside the shroud alright, but right under the front sight post, where the sling would be attached, there's a little play. Nothing that can't be fixed with a few strands of electrical tape, which you can't even see if you line it up right. It's just that the barrel is a little thinner than the stock AB barrel is, but its nothing that a little field expedience can't fix. ------------- ? |

Give him a break. Perhaps making fun of random people on the internet is his only relief from the mind-numbing apathy induced by his own pathetic life. -------------

Yeah, the guy who does tactical camo used to be a member here. In fact I think there is still a sticky from him in U&C.

I just bought my son an Alpha Black and was thinking the exact same thing about the barrel......A lil too stubby for our liking. I was thinking either a Trinity, or a BT M16 barrel with an Apex like Darkkrider showed in his YouTube vid. Fantastic job on the camo btw.. Cheers :) |

Thanks! I just recieved my 16'' R.I.S. Barrel last week and it looks sooooo much better. I will be updating pix as soon as I get it painted. The only gripe I have with this barrel is the screws are so weak! you have to change them out to make sure the weaver rails stay on! You can pick one up http://www.pntball.com/Items/rism4barrel98?&caSKU=rism4barrel98&caTitle=16%22%20Tippmann%2098%20Custom%20RIS%20Tactical%20Paintball%20Barrel - Here. I like that everything on this barrel is metal though i'm not sure why the decided to make the rails compostie... oh well.... I do like Darkkriders BT Apex. I thought about gettin one for awhile... And his videos are always entertaining!
