BT4/M4 SOPMOD/SPR
First up is my newly refurbished BT4 which you'll notice is lacking a feedneck... Thats because its waiting on a RipClip and APE board. Its also missing a bottomline and ASA because I have the ASA off waiting to be modified a bit to overcome some airflow deficiencies...
A quick list of mods includes a DOP pro-seal bolt and powertube for a 98c, modified for use in the BT4, a Special Ops Paintball FOG Quad-Rail foregrip with Classic Army rail covers, an airsoft folding front iron sight (I believe it was sold as an SR25 sight, I could be wrong), original BT4 carry handle w/ picatinny rail attachment, ACOG-copy red-dot sight, Special Ops Paintball C-Series 14 inch barrel with BMG muzzle brake, polished internals, VLTOR E-mod stock (had to modify the original BT stock tube by shaving down the rectangular area). I'm not sure how apparent it is, but the classic army rail covers aren't an exact match for the stock so I'm either on the search for slightly lighter covers or I'll just send the covers and the stock out for a spray in duracoat.
Big Daddy A5 Mk46 SAW
This is my heavy gunner marker, which I usually rock while wearing a twin 88/4500 tank setup carrying over 1800 rounds. I had to respray the shroud because the stock powdercoat bubbled up like crazy after just one game's worth of paintball impacts.... Funniest thing was that I tried using industrial paint thinners that we use at the shop, which couldn't make a dent in the powdercoat, but the non-toxic paint from paintballs made the paint bubble.... arg.
Mods include the full Opsgear SAW package (shroud, front sight, rear sight, and box mag), PCS SAW stock, polished internals, DOP powertube, Orange Howitzer bolt, some Rockfrog-style valve modifications, APE e-grip, fully TechT'd cyclone with X7 paddles, and a CMI Thunderpig 16" barrel. I also have an Apex-equipped 16" J&J Ceramic that I really only use for more open fields, since I've found that despite what "they" say, accuracy at range with an Apex only comes with volume. Normally set to 20 bps for Outlaw play, or whatever the field limit is for sanctioned fields. I also have a firestorm crank for those more strictly semi-only events.
X7 HK416 Shorty/CQB
This puppy is my "run and gun" setup when I have to stay light and the field is tigher.... Its not really a true 416 look since I'm not aware of one with so short of a foregrip and barrel, but hey, I took a few liberties...
With ACOG:
The Shorty features a milled/ported stock foregrip that I filed down the front edges to give it that angled look like the real 416 foregrip has. Internal mods are the same as the SAW with polished receivers, Orange bolt, DOP powertube, reworked valve, and polished rear bolt. Stock is originally a RAP4 CAR stock that I put a Command Arms CBS stock onto with the CA adjustable cheekpiece. 416 style iron sights are courtesy of Evike.com (only came out to about $60-70 for the set if I recall, much cheaper than most places I've found them). Cyclone is, again, fully TechT'd and she is equipped with the stock Tippmann Egrip. Finally, paint is released quite rapidly through a 5 inch Hammerhead Shark Tooth barrel.
A5 B5 9mm
This one hasn't seen many changes since the last time it was photographed, other than a barrel change, and swapping the double rail to the top mount instead of the side. What these photos don't really show is how horrendously dirty she is, just gave her a quick wipedown for the shoot.
Again, we have an A5 inside with polished receivers, Orange bolt, DOP powertube, modified valve, and polished rear bolt. B5 shroud is probably the most obvious addition, which includes an APE board. Magazine is a Special Ops Paintball MP5 air-thru mag, only modification needed for fitment was to trim the macro-line to account for the shorted distance from the mag to the B5's ASA location. I believe I was the first, and am still the only person to have done this particular mod. Some people don't like the 9mm look, but I've got enough 5.56 mags, so I appreciate using the B5 to mix it up a bit. Has two side-mounted weaver rails, and a double rail on top to which I've mounted my old NcStar 45mm red dot sight. Fully TechT'd cyclone with X7 paddles is standard issue, and I typically use a 12 inch J&J Ceramic (for extreme close quarters) or the pictured 14 inch C-Series.
AKS-74U--- Krinkov (I call her "Suchka"... its Russian for "little b****)
Tacamo AKS-74U "Krinkov" kit installed on my A5, with a Dishka flash suppressor from Opsgear that I custom machined and a cut-down 12" J&J Ceramic barrel (now approx. 8.5").
Mine:
And closeups of the barrel and muzzle brake/flash suppressor. All I did was cut the barrel down with a hacksaw, then did a finish cut with the lathe and sandpaper. As for the Dishka, I put it on the lathe and cut it down just a little past where the "bell" part changes angles, then used a rat tail file to cut the notches on the sides. Its not a 100% reproduction, but its about as good as it gets in a useable paintball scale...
