A5 Upgrades??

[Land_Mine]

I bought an A5. What upgrades should I start with? It will be for scenario play. It'll take me a few months to get most of the upgrades.

Talk to TheOperators.

They have some great A-5's and alot of nice upgrades.

Everyone likes different things\setups.

First thing is get upgrades that are going to improve your guns performance(barrel, bolt, power tube, stock, RT or Egrip is thats your thing, ect,.)

Then customize it to look like what ever you want for how ever you play, there are so many configurations you can do, its insane. Big burrly machinegun type setups to CQB style, you name it.

IMO get your barrel first and get one based on how you play, i personally love the flatline, great range and good for CQB as well, but I have also seen impressive results with good straight barrels, whisper barrel in paticular has convinced me to be a great barrel for the price.(after shooting it, and being shot at by it.)

amen med!!

I'm pretty sure I will go with the flatline, e-grip and a 6 position adjustable tasco stock. I'm also checking into a remote. What type of replacement bolt and power tube is recommened? Any certain brands that stand above the others?

It's not really going to make a large Impact swapping the power tube out.
Power tubes are usally upgraded so you don't have the plastic one that may crack.
JCS Red-Hot power tube is very common, w/ a Shocktech SuperFly bolt.
Personally I'm Anti-Egrip I like my RT.
If you are still running C02 look into a Palmers Stab, you can install them in some crazy Mil-Sim ways w/the A5.

[TheOperators]

If your getting a stock, get a remote for sure, in my opinion.

yeah power tube is a optional thing, the one in the A-5 is gauranteed for life, so its not a real big deal.

I too am Anti-Egrip, cost more money to play with)batteries and the amount of paint you tend to shoot with one.)and is just another thing to go wrong for you on the battlefield.....but like i always say, i love having one next to me, on my side LOL!

For sure get a Stab or somekind of Xchamber.

:lol: And befor anybody flames me Im just messing with Meddy. I like A-5s :)

I'm pro e-grip, never had a single problem with mine..... takes a lickin and keeps on clickin! If you get an e-grip go buy a battery charger and some rechargeable NIMH 9V batteries (WAY more cost effective)....I have 2 batteries, one for backup and one for playing although I get multiple days of play off of a single 9v.

I'd get a remote if you're going with a stock too... AZ had a stock and tank on his 98cpro at one point and that thing was a beast to move around.

[medman]

I have a fixed stock for sale. As for E-Grip vs RT, I have seen far more players have trouble with RT's than E-Grip's.

PS....What's the matter Hitman, you trying to hurt my feelings or something :( :wink:

[Hitman]

got a reaction didnt I??? :P

[StunnA]

You could go with the flatline, just ive seen many people have problems with cold weather and "not tourny quality" paint.
