I wanted a functional marker that was pretty basic but performs well.
BT4 combat
Smart Parts Linear 16" barrel
BT combat stock
Brownell's guncoat paint
polished internals
HPA remote system IMG_0319.jpg
I looked at the 14" barrels and decided to go with the 16" because the sights were useless (thus removed) and the extra 2" allowed me to see the tip of the barrel making it easier to point in the right direction. I have shot rifles all of my life and the vertical foregrip that came with the marker and the collapsable one that I tried as well felt ackward to me so it was removed as well. The basic hopper is feeding as fast as my skills will allow me to shoot and has not given me any problems at this point so I see no need to change it now. Your input is appreciated. Does anyone know of a horizontal forestock that would not add much weight that I should try. Although nothing up there feels good to me. The camo job is not meant to be appealing to the eye, it is for effect only. I am trying to keep this marker simple to avoid malfunctions. Thank You
5/10, agree with the above, its a fairly stock bt4, iv always figured you might as well run the tank on the marker if your going to have a stock there if its not. paint is not bad on the same note though iv seen better, and a forcefeed hopper is always better than a shake and bake. theres still a lot more you can do to up the score but honestly its not worth the money, im sure it works great for what you use it for and thats what it really comes down to, if your happy with it dont change a thing

in addition to some actual performance upgrades if your serious about using it alot, you should add some sort of front grip. not a vertical, but a horizontal. i was thinking modeled after a pump BB gun, the fake wood front grip.

Painting with the brownells aluma-hyde2 is very easy. The paint is a self primeing epoxy based paint that comes in a spray can. I have used this paint on real guns for years with no failures. Just prep by sanding and degreaseing with denatured alchohol and spray on marker. Start with base layer of the light color first. Next spray lines of the darkest color (black) and then follow up with filling in around the dark color with O.D.green. That gives the colors a good fade with no sharp lines. The the sharp lines and cool patterns of a lot of the paint jobs look really nice to the eyes, but does not do much for the camo effect of helping to hide the object. I really like the creative camo jobs that I have seen done and you can tell that a lot of time and effort was put into them, which I can appreciate, but they will still stick out like a sore thumb in the woods. The paint job on this marker was done in 1 hr. includeing dissassembly and metal prep. The paint is dry to handle after a few hours of Texas heat, but the full hard cure is complete after about a week.
As far as Fore grips go, I would get a 9" Free Float SR-25 style shroud from Opsgear. Your BT will use the one made for the A5. In addition, I would definitely use a Rip-clip with an X7 hopper. Performance wise I would add a Python compression system to your barrel (Kinda turns it into a Freak Barrel for cheap) & get the Roofus Dawg wicked power tube.
