The Official Tippmann Picture Thread

[SuperActionMan]

And this TiPX just came in today which I got specifically for using First Strikes:

Unbeknownst to me, it already has an FSR-ready breech block with dual detents. Sweet. And judging by that photo, one of my FSRs broke in shipping. Not sweet.

I traded the stock TiPx barrel with the one off the leftmost A-5 in my previous post. The plan is to get a longer rifled one later.

Franken feed looks good on that,also like the gas thru grip.Would like to find a set up like that for my pro carbine !

[NONOBLITUS]

Thanks, it is a fun setup

[NONOBLITUS]

Made a few more adjustments on this fun shooter by enlarging the opening in the front shroud to accommodate some different barrels. Think it’s finally finished to where I like the setup.

[Cal440]

Like the new barrel,just wondering is there a benefit to running a gas thru grip?

[NONOBLITUS]

No benefit for the gas through but to use as a handle. Could put a regulator on there if you wanted to tune it to your liking I suppose. I just like the looks of it in a nut shell.

[Cavemanpaintball]

I got these going for the blow back throw back game, once I got a fresh detent in the carbine it shot really good!

[Cal440]

Nice trio, love the wooden grips

My a5 egrip, mp5 build. Flatline and 4" snubnose barrel. Every single part you can find and slap on an a5 it has. Even skull pushpins. The model 98 has a green metallic paintjob, 18" apex2 barrel, bt bipod, all super refurbed internals, expansion chamber, car stock.

[Cal440]

I like the two tone finish on the a5,what did you use?

[ElectricBullshark]

I got it like that off ebay. It was cheap so i figured if i had to i could repaint it, but its held up nice actually. I wish i knew what the guy used. Its smooth finish with a little gloss, maybe clearcoat too.

Wish I could take credit but this was a duracoat job by Conlee Custom Camo probably close to 20 years ago. Marker is long gone by now but was always one of my favorites.

Reminds me of the new Muti-Terrain 'vomit relish' CADPAT.

Love this A5!

Model 98

Originally I wanted to paint this in VM tiger stripe but that ended up being outside of the timeline (and likely skill level) I was working with. The body has been drilled for modern side tapped power tubes. Internally it has a Shocktech bolt and Deadlywinds RVA/stock adapter. Ideally I'd like to get a short, tighter bore barrel so the RVA doesn't need to be so far in (I have serious doubts that most Tippmanns are able to make 280 out of the box with modern paint).

[Myrkul]

Lapco makes some nice short barrel for Tippmanns in smaller bores. You could try throwing a weaker valve spring in the CVX valve to help it out too, that's what I do on mine and it's noticeable.

[Toestr]

Myrkul yeah I know, I just don't really want to pay Lapco money on a barrel.

[ThinRizzie]

that's a sweet looking barrel -- is it the flatline?

[FlightMedic938]

Lapco Big Shot, polished internals, Rufus Dawg front bolt and power tube, modified valve (deep/wide channels, mcs pin, light spring), Techt zero kick hammer (internal weight removed), lightest drive spring, Lapco cocking knob, Techt trigger springs and pins, response trigger, 1/8th hoses and fittings for RT and Cyclone, Dye gas thru grip, CP gauge adapter with Diablo gauge, DIY low pressure chamber, RVA, drop forward, Cyclone with all Lapco upgrades (QEH, squishies, etc)

[Myrkul]

Glad to see other people using the carbine plug trick. Both my 98s use it.

[Toestr]

Keep it as is if it's working well. I personally would've used an HPR instead of a LP tank, but I guess that extra volume helps. You've basically done homebrew everything that comes with the factory LP kit. The only things you're missing is the LP pin and I'm pretty sure the valve seat had a larger ID on the LP kit.

[FlightMedic938]

Myrkul I believe I learned that from one of your posts

[FlightMedic938]

Freak barrel, polished internals, double O ring front bolt, Tippmann low pressure kit, Fang trigger, E grip, CP reg, NDZ on/off, drop forward

[FlightMedic938]

Dye shorty Boomstick, Techt L6 Ion bolt, and shortened trigger pull mod
