Im happy to say that today (06/02/08) my Alpha Black arrived in the mail. Its the tactical version with the E Grip. The only upgrading ive done to it is adding a BSA red dot scope. I had my doubts about the 11" barrel but not any more. After firing a few shots through and getting it sighted in I could make pretty decent groupings. The gun is rediculasly durable and therefore it is rather heavy. The Remote Line I have helps alot to take off some of that weight so it kind of equals out. Theres also 1 other down fall i noticed besides the weight of the marker adn that was the magazine clip. Because it doubles as a tool kit its made out of plastic. When I say plastic im talkin EXTREAMLY low grade Chinese But besides that I love this gun. Great for the price, espically for someone with a low budget. Now on with the Pics. |

Nice, did you drill a hole in your carry handle or just clamp the scope onto it? Everyone is always saying how they found the ABT to be heavy. It's not a light marker but I've never had a problem with it's weight and I don't normally hook up my remote line. I wouldn't mind finding a nice metal magazine to replace the stupid stock one. Maybe an idea for a nice mod. |

I've got a 30 round magazine I'm tempted to retrofit into the AB, I just haven't gotten around to it, and I'm not that great at fabrications. I'd swap out the stock barrel if I were you, a 14" looks great on the AB. ------------- ? |

The Sight just clamped on to the top, its liek a $45 sight I found at the local Cabellas for llike $12. Only problem is I have an after market hopper that tends to get in the way so I might end up taking off the carrying handel and replacing it with pic-rails. Im also looking at painting the gun as well, heres a pic of my old 98 custom. I did this with 2 cans of spray paint, and no stenciles. Just free hand. Pic is slightly blury, because I suck at taking pictures, my bad. :/

Yeah, I was curious about that, my AB weighs practically nothing...in fact, I've never, ever held a marker that was heavy enough for me to take note of or deter me from using it. If you've got the upper body strength anything above that of a 6 year old, you shouldn't have any issues with the weight of ANY marker. ------------- ? |

lol indeed, but if you are a 6year old, the bt4 iron horse with the bt-4 magazine expansion chamber will be too heavy for you, well for long game plays that is. -------------

Any hopper will get in the way even with a pic rail, do yourself a favor and go get a 98c cyclone! |

CYCLONE FEEDER: is not a bad idea, but ive had trouble finding them. So far all the onlien stores ive checkd dont sell them and at the local field it'll cost you an arm and a leg. ABOUT THE WEIGHT: The only reason I noticed the weight is because im used the my 98c with a remote line. So it feels light as a feather compared the the AB. YES I AM SCUBA STEVES LONG LOST BROTHER. |

Can you please tell us what brand and model red dot sight you got? I'm looking for a red dot sight for my Alpha Black tactical but I've heard people were drilling the carry handle and adding a rail then putting the sights on top of the rail. You just snapped it on top of the carry handle?? |
