tipp_mann_98

I just got my first tippmann a-5. I have had lots of other guns, tippmanns and spyders and one BT.

I am gonna get a summer job so I can put $160 into it. I want decent range and accuracy, I have heard the ceramic barrels are good. I also want an affordable set up that looks cool.

I was thinking a flatline, a basic stock, a remote coil, and an MP5 handgrip (horizontal not vertical)

Okay I just did some short research,

Adjustable 3 point stock- 40$
Ceramic J&J Barrel-30$

i know you want a flatline and an mp5 grip, however, after 5 minutes of research, i think thats impossible. They make shrouds that fit on the flatline but they're pretty awkward and ugly. Im pretty sure you have to choose between a flatline and the mp5 look

Flatline barrel 90 $
Shroud 35$
mp5 grip 35$

I saw that you were thinking of a ceramic barrel. If You get a long barrel and the mp5 grip, it won't resemble a mp5 because the barrel will protrude too much from the grip. i dont know much about stock tippmann barrels but I'd reccommend:

Mp5 grip
New barrel (same length as stock barrel)
mp5 sliding stock

*you can always get the remote later.

I don't really want the exact MP5 look, just the hand grip that replaces the handle thing in front of the steal braided hose for air.






I pretty much stole the idea from the brigade website.

You said horizontal. What you are looking for is an mp5 magazine, which would be vertical. in that case you can get both a flatline and the mp5 magazine

looking something like this

I want that exact setup except remove the clip, the double trigger, and the drop forward.
Add a low profile hopper and my own desert paint job and maybe switch the flatline w/ the J&J not sure yet.

That horizontal piece on that very same gun is what I was talking about.

Anyways, what is the difference between the full tilt ceramic and the ceramic J&J barrels other than $20?

Oh i see. So no mag right? You'll have to ask someone else about the barrels. i know nothing about tippmann barrels. My 98 custom has the stock barrel right now

Dont get a stock, stocks are really hard to use because your mask gets in the way of that. Dont use your sites, aiming down sites doesnt help what so ever. Aim from the side, flatlines are ok, only reason i would suggest one is if you want to shoot around trees and if you dont know how to do that dont get one, get a J&J barrel. Dont get the mp5 clip, your paying 50 dollars for plastic.

I'm gonna stick w/ the ceramic barrel and maybe a stock
I aim where the balls go inefficient but whatever it works.
