It looks alright but im not sure. I think im going to go for this Tippmann X36 Folding Stock - X7 or instead of going for the MP5 look which I wnat to im gong to do this for the look
I think it looks good but Im probably going to put my red dot sight on it instead of the carrying handle.

hahah yea i read it. yea. i was wondering whether or not to go from my response trig to an e-grip -------------

I would go with egrip just because you have control on how you want to shoot,EX. single shoot,burst, the best full auto. This is what im thinking about getting for the X7 from Rap4 because I dont want the carrying handle. http://rap4.com/paintball/os/tippmann-tactical-barrel-p-3657.html - Tippmann X7 Tactical Barrel Kit http://rap4.com/paintball/os/trilevel-tippmann-p-3751.html - Tri-Level Tippmann X7 Tac Cap and either http://rap4.com/paintball/os/tippmann-carbine-buttstock-p-4214.html - Tippmann X7 Carbine Buttstock or http://rap4.com/paintball/os/tippmann-carbine-buttstock-metal-p-3659.html - Tippmann X7 Carbine Buttstock (Metal) what stock do you think I should get? -------------

but if you get e-grip, do you have to get hpa? and i would go with the metal version because it will last longer.

Im not sure about that but I found this about the egrip Tippmann X7 E-Grip Features:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TQuDbTb4Dc - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TQuDbTb4Dc and what upgrades do you suggest for the cyclone feed if any? -------------
|
Posted By: slackerr26
Date Posted: 29 June 2008 at 12:57am
i didnt upgrade my cyclone at all. i've never had a problem stock. but if you want to, look into the TechT mods. and http://cgi.ebay.com/WarGear-Clear-Housing-for-Tippmann-Cyclone-Feed-Smoke_W0QQitemZ320267950983QQihZ011QQcategoryZ71157QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem - this is pretty cool, but useless
-------------

Its cool,useless and its way over price for a piece of clear pipe. The only upgrade im probably gong to get for my cyclone is squishy paddles. -------------

yea i know. i dont get the point of them. my paddles have never caused any kind of problem

Take a pic and post it. I was going to ask you if you could airbrush and spray paint mine but because your scared to do it on your I think I wont. You should try to find some old crappy walmart guns that are really cheap and practice spraypainting and airbrushing on that. -------------

When im able to add money to my pay pal account im going to buy these for weaver rails/foregrip so I can have 4 rails. One for the forgrip another for a flash light and one other for a laser the last one will be just in case one breaks. To bad none of my friends have a paypal account that would by them for me then let me pay them back in a couple of weeks. http://cgi.ebay.com/TACTICAL-FOREGRIP-W-WEAVER-PICATINNY-RAIL-RIFLE-GUN_W0QQitemZ280240426374QQihZ018QQcategoryZ36258QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem - TACTICAL FOREGRIP W/ WEAVER PICATINNY RAIL RIFLE GUN http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-3-PCS-HANDGUARD-RAIL-MOUNT-FOR-H-K-WEAVER-PICATINNY_W0QQitemZ350073611205QQihZ022QQcategoryZ52510QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem - NEW 3 PCS HANDGUARD RAIL MOUNT FOR H&K WEAVER PICATINNY Looks good. Im jealous I have a piece of crap mask that came with my $80 walmart gun package a while ago. -------------

Its just like a reg screw but with an allen wrench end instead of a screw driver like this. http://www.mertons.com/img_content/ss_buttonheadsocket.jpg - http://www.mertons.com/img_content/ss_buttonheadsocket.jpg -------------

-------------

Well I would drill a whole first then put them in just like when you take apart the tippmanns. -------------
