So I have been surfing these forums for a couple of months and I think it is about time I put some pics of my A-5 up.
    So there she is. Longbow Stock Palmers Inline stab SpecOps Tombstone X-7 Hopper J&J 14" Barrel JCS RedHot Power Tube & Hex bolt RT trigger Shocktech front grip Air Hog 08 grips A couple of 1/4" bolts instead of pins in the back (kept breaking) Needs a little bit of paint but that can wait till the down time of winter. So let me know what you think. Thanks ------------- "Overspecialize and you breed in weakness." Motoko Kusanagi |

i love those fat grips, they make the gun alot meatier. are those cl0ne's? if i were you and i wanted to do more, i would buy one of those machine-gun shrouds for your barrel, and maybe paint your front grip with a duller black, its kinda shiney. nice a5 man. ------------- "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum." |

Nice looking gun. Simple yet functional.

Yes they are his grips. I know him by another name  Also I find it hard to put anything on the gun just for looks. I am going for performance and comfort upgrades only. With that said I do like the look of the machine-gun shrouds Stuff I will be adding soon will be cyclone vortex mod and a see thru smoke cyclone housing with green paddles.------------- "Overspecialize and you breed in weakness."

Well...the machine gun shroud protects the outside of your barrel, and is still simple-looking. Not excessive like some of the other stuff. For example I have a Dye Ultralite on my tippmann, and I like to protect my investment. Nice stock. ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom/ACT E-trigger/WAS Commando Stock or M-4 CAR Dye Ultralite Machine Gun Shroud Sight Rail w/CCO Cyclone Feed X-Chamber PMI P-E 72Ci 3000 PSI |

That's gotta be the funkiest Longbow I've ever seen. It looks so "Borg" like. Cool marker man. ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCZWhJCF6Ig">

Why didn't you just put the Palmer's into the Tombstone?
Just wondering, as it seems to just make the gun less clean looking, and serve no function--but maybe I'm missing something. |

I put it on the stock because I wanted an air-through stock. Also the male stab would get in my way because of the way I hold the gun when switching sides of a bunker. ------------- "Overspecialize and you breed in weakness." Motoko Kusanagi |

I thought that http://www.answers.com/customize&r=67 - customizing a marker was not leaving it stock. Doesn't everyone customize their marker to some degree? ------------- "Overspecialize and you breed in weakness." Motoko Kusanagi |
