Where are you seeing them for the same price? Custom Pros should be around $160, while the A-5 should be around $230.

Both markers bought NIB (new in box)? The price you paid for the Custom Pro is about right. The price on the A-5 seems a little low, but not bad. Are they both stock markers? |

Well, I'm sure he paid shipping on the marker which would raise the total price over $200. Local pro shops will kick the price up to make a little extra profit, but you'd probably have paid the difference in shipping. Some online places will charge a premium for shipping if they list the gun low. Does your Custom Pro have ACT?

Custom pro is lighter, has a better stock barrel, drop foward, and double trigger while the A5 is easier to field strip and maintain, as well as customize

Yes. The biggest differences are the stock "upgrades" (i.e. cyclone or barrel, drop, double trigger)

Well, if you Custom Pro has ACT (and it better for the price you paid) you'll have a hard time chopping paint with the bolt. The A-5 is a little easier to fieldstrip for cleaning, but that is about it. I've been thinking about picking up a Custom Pro for the heck of it just so I can loan it out to anyone interested in playing.

Oooooh, I'd say you got ripped off then. Custom Pros with ACT go for around $159 + $5 online at Action Village. http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/S tore/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=tPY_sP_n9I U_ErmBdbn_GPUupjQ2rCat_L4=?ProductID=qgvAqArbFXoAAAEJu8vspNE j#description Edited by StormyKnight - 06 June 2007 at 10:16am |
