Probably not to everyone's tastes, but this is my baby A5, which incidentally isn't just for looks.........  I also now run a TPX sidearm, but I have only just acquired this, so is stock out of the box............ EK ------------- http://www.mybannermaker.com">

I did have a separate folding grip and bi pod on there but it was too cluttered for my taste, I prefer this one for the functionality........ And thanks for the honesty and compliment  EK ------------- http://www.mybannermaker.com">

I was expecting it all blinged out like in Army if Two. Looks good but looks real stock, a custom paintjob might put it into the unique category. -------------

I have been toying with the idea of highly polishing the shroud, just I haven't had time for it to be complete before D10 this weekend, but don't worry - I thought of things along the same lines aswell. It's far from finished......... EK ------------- http://www.mybannermaker.com">

No, just painted. Getting this weekend (District 10) out of the way and then I can set about changing the look of it.......... EK ------------- http://www.mybannermaker.com">

It's a sheet metal shroud. They cone powder coated from factory. OpsGear used to make them now RAP4 and other companies do. -------------

ok, scotch brite or steel wool should take off the coating and polish it. ------------- Innocence proves nothing FUAC!!!!! |

Hiya, yes, it's a great piece of kit........ As for the 'Stove Pipe', there are absolutely no issues what so ever - I would not have able to fit a scope without it. The only things I want now are an adjustable sight rail riser and maybe an air through kit - I have been toying with the new Tacamo mag conversion kit, but I would have to look into a few things first........

Thanks buddy, when you do get you one, just don't expect to be running around like Rambo or anything with it. Even with a more 'normal' length of barrel the thing is still a bit on the heavier side of things! EK ------------- http://www.mybannermaker.com">

Oh trust me i have used it a couple of times
Ya its heavy, but its got the egrip so really its more of a support marker But might take down the shroud and trade it up for a UMP shroud Not sure just yet -------------

 I use a Python sizer kit with both Hammerhead Bang Stikxx & Battle Stikxx using the Hammerhead link topped off with M50 reverse ported muzzle brake, this gives me a grand total of 31 inches of rifled yumminess.  Although recently I have just been using the 16" Bang Stikxx on the Python, this gives me a bit more freedom of movement. More updated pix coming real soon of a few minor improvements to the setup EK ------------- http://www.mybannermaker.com">

**edited** 31" why? What are you using co2 or HPA?
And do you get. 6 shots a tnak? Haha Man keep with your 16" more effciant for sure Maybe a 18" with a apex 2 will be ten times better! -------------

TBH mate, I have recently tried an APEX, ok, it was fun for trick shots etc, but I much prefer my Bang Stikxx 16" over it, give it some good paint and it fires straight as an arrow and the range is simply brilliant.......... The large barrel is good though, simply for the mind games side of things, plus it looks so sweet! EK ------------- http://www.mybannermaker.com">

^^^ While the sizers do make for a better paint to barrel match, which helps with consistency, I doubt that it actually fires any farther than any other 12-16" barrel fired at the same velocity.
