 I have US-5 on it's way to me in the mail. I want to get an E-grip for it in September. Not sure what I will do yet. I was thinking making it look like a M249 SAW would be sick. But, I since it has a MP5K look to it, keep it tight and compact. Who knows. I got it because it's an A-5 clone with spyder threads, and I refuse to buy a Tippmann. -------------------- It used to be about paintball, now it's a &@#%ing fashion show.

Welcome to the forums!
I think you've hit the one thing that seems to hit every US-5 owner out there - what do I want it to look like?  Personally, I'm sticking with the MP5 look, planning on adding a c-mag and a mock suppressor/foregrip, similar to an SD5. But that project is so on hold at the moment... -------------------- Markers:

Welcome to the forums! Lenny got it dead on. I forgot what a new stock US-5 looked like hahaha! I miss the old days of drooling over MIL-SIM mods, now mine is all stock again except for some strange barrel that shoots really nice. -------------------- |

Welcome to the forums
The US*5 is a smart marker but sadly the e-grip is super hard to track down. I've been looking for a while and if you find one make sure to tell me about it! --------------------  |

 I have my US-5 now. I put the tactical handle on it because I want a Weaver/picatinny rail. I switched the stock barrel out for a 5.5 inch JCS. I will use a ricochet hopper. And I have a Trinity wire stock in the mail. I am looking for a drop forward to move the 20oz co2. I will keep this marker more compact than my JT, so I can pop up from behind bunkers easier. -------------------- It used to be about paintball, now it's a &@#%ing fashion show.

Looking good! Any luck tracking down the e-grip (e-clip)?

How do you like the 5.5" barrel? I've been considering a shorter barrel for my US-5, I like the SMG look a lot more than the assault rifle look, but I don't want to ruin my accuracy in the process.
Also, if you have a stock, you might want to consider using a remote instead of a drop. It'll take all the weight off the marker, which will make it a lot easier to use. -------------------- Markers:

I emailed Kee action sports about the e-grip, no reply a week later. I will call them when I get around to it. Maybe I will settle for a double trigger I will watch eBay for a grip.
I do want a remote. But I rush and slide a lot, so I need a bottle higher on my back than my belt. The short barrel is fine so far. but I have only shot targets from about 50 feet so far. -------------------- It used to be about paintball, now it's a &@#%ing fashion show.

 Got the dropforward, it's big. It may be too much for the gun. I'll see when I get a stock, if I ever do. The guys I ordered the stock from gave back my money and say they are sold out.  The air line is tight is that going to be okay for it? -------------------- It used to be about paintball, now it's a &@#%ing fashion show.

US*5 stocks are easy to come by since anything (stock) that fits on an A5 will fit it.

True. And I don't think that should bother the air line any. If it does then you just need to get a longer line. All that takes to install is a few minutes and some teflon tape.
