The product and Ultimate Paintball Co. are great. Amazon has been and continues to be very troublesome.

This package is exactly what it promises. Good gun, good tank, good back satchel, not so great goggles (padding is pretty hard).

Delivery was faster then what the estimated time was by a couple days. Shipped almost instantly.

Good for people like me who are just getting into paintball.

The only two things i have to say is that if you are going to get this package, they do not provide the line to connect the co2 to the marker if you want to put the tank in the back satchel. Would have been nice to see that with it, but they dont say it comes with it so cant blame them for that.

The major problem iam having is that i got this shipped internationally. I figured the 83 dollars or so of shipping was super steep as it was and would cover everything, i was wrong! There was a 40 dollar dutie fee at the border into Canada. i paid almost half the packages price to have it shipped to canada. So i wouldnt have spent much more if i bought them a little over priced in stores...

Other then that everything is as it appears! Rating: 4 / 5

This is a great, resonably priced custom setup for the Tippmann A-5. The A-5 is considered by most of the woodsball/scenarioball community as the best. The second would be the custom 98, also by Tippmann. Now while this is a decent setup, I myself bought the exact same gun, and added the stock, a low profile hopper and a better J&J ceramic barrel seperately here on amazon and it came out to only $310.

As for sights, I recomend buying sights at a store so you can try them out first. Theres nothing worse than buying sights online, waitng for it to arive and then realizing that you can't see through it when you've got a mask on, or some other problem.

Overall this is a good gun and the extra parts are resonably priced, but if you know what you want to do with your a-5, there are other parts available here on Amazon that can make it better than this setup for about the same cost. Rating: 4 / 5

I love the look and feel of the extended stock, but it gets in the way of aiming with a mask on. I LOVE THE BARREL AND SIGHT. They make even the standard A5 into a true sniping machine!

THIS IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY.

I'd suggest getting the egrip too, but aside from that....this is a great deal.
