ok,im sorry if other people asked but i didnt see much that helped...
well,i wanna put a laser sight and a scople or maybe a red dot.. but i found out i need a rail for my gun..i wanna put the scope on top acorse.. and i want to put a laser on the barrel shroud. and i cant seem to find a laser or a scope thats really compatiable with the alpha black tactical. i found some but idk if they would work..i reLly want a green beam laser but i would be happy with red...also i have a apex barrel tip comong in the mail.and will i need a cyclone for the top mounted scope so it would fit so if anyone could find one for me or help i would be very appreciative thanks... also if i need a new barrel to mount a laser because i want a barrel soon..but the hammarheads arnt cheap... |

Patience son. You posted your question right before a weekend. Many people pretend to have lives during those few days off. ------------- ? |

Also, in terms of putting a scope or a sight on the AB, you may need to either drill a hole in the carry handle or flat-top the marker (check out the marker gallery for some mods people have done) and do it that way. I haven't done much more modification to my AB than a barrel upgrade, but maybe a gander over at the gallery can help you get started. ------------- ? |

that barrel is too long. stick to a 12 or 14" barrel. 16" max. after 14-16 " it takes more air to get the ball out of the barrel at speed. as far as your rail question goes you can drill both the handguard and the carry handle. the carry handle would mount the red dot then and the hand guard drilling would be able to get the weaver rail on it just fine. basically youjust need to buy the 2 weaver rails, measure them up, drill, and attach. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

the tac barrel is decent but again i would not get a 20". Personally I always recommend the J&J. J&J also has an adapter tip available. another option is Lapco. They make a very good barrel and they sell an apex ready where the apex just threads right on.

| I have been getting stuff for my alpha black from cheaperthandirt.com Yea, it isn't paintball specific stuff, but it is m4 stuff. The rails, and flashlights, scopes and what have you will work with a little modification. I purchased a 6in handguard with quad rails, n will see if it fits. So far I have a cyclone hopper and apex barrel. The red dot scope I had got hit with a paintball 2 weeks ago at close range, and broke out. My suggestion, buy a cheap one that you wont mind getting broken. The scope doesnt help by the way, and you'll never use the red dot. Its cool to look at, but get a new barrel, hopper, egrip, and remote line, and make sure you have a good mask first. My bipod has come in handy a few times though. Anything made for a normal m4 will work for the alpha. |

the jj ceramic barrel has been great for my a-5, i like it better than the flatline. flatline kept chopping paint. and i was told you couldnt take the apex tip off, and it still work properly, was i misinformed??

when you say it wont work what wont work on it? If you can narrow it down it shouldnt be hard to fix the problem. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

There is a little filling that needs to be done to the cylcone feed system to accomidate the alpha black you see as soon as you try to put it on.
