I figured I should post up about the milsig... not only because they sponsor our team, but because they are in the limited ammo category. With the growth of the mag feed market and many players going to limited ammo, I believe the mag feed (of any brand) is the true sniper marker. Main reason: The limited ammo. Snipers don't use drum mags or mags larger than around 6-8 shots (again USUALLY don't use those, but there are exceptions) What really makes me laugh, is when on other boards I see someone post their "sniper" set up and they have a standard 200 round hopper on it. Perhaps they need to change their description of the marker to "rifleman". At least use a tac cap at less than 50 rounds. One of my team members (actually 2 after the first guy did the modding) took a standard mag and cut it down to make a true sniper mage. The smaller mag only holds around 6-7 rounds. Any more in the mag and they wouldn't feed. There is more modding to do to make it perfect, but 6 rounds is fine by me. Its nice and small, making it easy to use with a standard bi-pod (without extending the legs). The electrical tape on the mag is NOT to hold it together, but to cover up the cut line in the plastic. Another team member actually took the time to smooth the lines out and you can't even see it was cut.  Shorten mag mod by "Sleeper":  Team mate "Sidewinder": Mag mod   |

No there is no kit for the A-5, only one for looks. Not yet at least ...
Since I am sponsored by them, I sometimes get new and exciting products come my way. I will keep you posted on any new developments.

@majorghost. Awesome gun. I looked at them. I think mag fed is the only way to roll. But, that K series is macho bucks US or Canadian. If they'd been First Strike compatible, I probably would have found a way.
Now, my hopes this year are on Tippman. RAP4 conversion kit that is first Strike ready. When that is shown to be true. L8r in this year, I'll probably ask Santa for a phenom and a delrin bolt and a...
[Yes, Yes,...] I'm sorry [...it's not polite for you to talk in my ear while I'm typing on the forum]...[ok][alright] when Santa asks if I've been a good boy, could the queen of the forum put in a good word for us? [there I said it]...[no, the demon dogs stay in their cage until they are house trained, and no you can't give them another mailman].
Sorry Majorghost, I got to go take a double dose of my meds....

Thats some nice shooting glass Major.
I just might have to make my own mag well and magazine for my A5. The only way I can see to get a mag feed gun is to buy a new marker, and thats kinda $$$

Has anyone tried the A5 FlatLine barrel on a K-series?
I'm liking the look of the new one.

Hello Major!
I have a question about how to carry the mags without having problems like balls falling into magpouch and so on...
I just installed my MK-5 Kit to my A5 and tried different ways to carry the mags but all seem not to be perfect...
When i put them upside down into the pouch sometimes the lock slide open...
And if I carry them Upside up I scratch on them with the gun (Magpul MS2 sling) and it happened that the gun releases the lock of the mag...
so what to do? I read already about the inlets milsig has for the pouches but it says that they also make probs...?
I`ll be happy about every help.
Thanks

Milsig has those "T's" at the bottom of their pouches that prevents the paint from being released.   |

VERY well in fact. I do sometimes lose a ball in the bottom if I am using smaller paint (slips through collar) But the great thing is the paint won't break in the bottom of the pouch because of the T-bar.
