Top Prize! Custom designed Tippmann A-5

Codename: Vera

Basic A-5 reciever and grip are all that are stock on this thing.

The custom all metal folding buttstock assembly..
1.) A custom (flat flush mount) metal butt stock adapter from Pro-Team Prods 

2.) Marui MP5 metal folding stock base with sling swivel off ebay (quite rare) 

3.) Custom designed skeletonized 3 piece aluminum machined slotted, welded, ultra cool styled butt stock welded and bolted to the MP5 folding base. 

The custom Tri-Rail and extended rail system.
1.) Tri-Rail picatinney for M4, AR15 flattop design modified to fit on A-5 reciever, custom machined relief for cocking handle and round hopper base. 

2.) Custom made 14" long aluminum picatinney rail extension machined to the exact mil-spec drawing the military uses made by Oakdale Precision, and precision welded to the front of the Tri-Rail for true straightness and strength.

All custom made 6061 aluminum sheet metal rails, shrouds, cages, brackets etc, are all CAD lay out, close tolerance lasered, formed, welded, ground and polished by Proto-Fab sheetmetal Co. Some of the last minute brackets I made or modded myself as final fitting and assembly required. All forward shrouds have PEMS and stainless button head screws installed to precision mount the next shroud or bracket above or below it, so they can all be separated if preferred.

1.) Custom designed (G36 styled) forward rail support mounted under front rail and on top of barrel shroud. The detail of slots, holes, and angles is very intricate but very strong.

2.) Custom semi-triangular barrel shroud with slots to lighten and simulate venting for heat dissipation. Had to modify the A-5 barrel adapter to fit straight and tight over it flush to the reciever body.

3.) Custom cage shroud (mounted under barrel shroud) made to hold a 7-8 oz. Co2 tank. Front has slotted alum cover held on with screws to change tanks. It also has brackets welded in the bact to securely mount it to the front of the A-5 body. The custom asa adapter and coiled tubing is in this shroud.

4.) Custom channel bracket to hold the M203 Thunder Grenade launcher. Mounts directly to the bottom of the tank cage/shroud.

5.) Custom (interesting) rectangular shroud to conceal the Pro-Team 'Intruder' expansion chamber feeding air to the A-5. The shroud is a friction fit over a bracket welded to the magazine well. Allows for quick removal if needed.

6.) Custom magazine well M16, M4, styled with mods to allow mounting of shrouds and air tube to make it's way through the magazine into the expansion chamber.

The other parts:
1.) Classic Arms M203 launcher, with upgraded metal barrel, shortened to match front profile of the PB barrel and shrouds. (also modified so it can only be mounted in the custom made bracket)

2.) PEC custom 14" miro honed barrel, slot ported (military style bird cage flash hider) re-theaded and internal mouth chamfer (A-5 bbl specs) by Oakdale Precision. Very accurate barrel with good paint. 

3.) Real AR15/M16 30rd. Orlite theromoplastic magazine, modified to fit in the mag well, and allow the air hose to pass through to the expansion chamber.

4.) Pro-Team Products "Intruder" expansion chamber with male asa adapter and nickel brass push tube fitting for Co2 tubing.  

5.) Cooper-T female tank receiver modified with welded top and retapped in the side for the brass fitting and push tube fitting to go on tank in shroud/cage. 

6.) Misc items like over 50 SSBH screws holding this beast together, front sling swivel mount, air tubing, misc adapters and spacers, primer, paint, etc...
