US Army Alpha Black Paintball Rail and Stock

Last week we made a post about a few new Alpha Black parts to hit the store. More came in this weekend. Trinity released a version of the their MP5 collapsible Stock to fit the Alpha Black marker. This is one the first aftermarket stocks to hit the market for the Alpha Black. The Trinity Alpha Black MP5 Stock is perfect for open field or close quarter battle. With the press of a button, the stock extends or collapses to accomodate your shooting position.

We also got our hands on a new Alpha Black Carry Handle Rail. This rail fits into the groove of the carry handle. Alpha Black owners will need to drill a hole in the base of the carry handle to allow the integrate screw to fit through the handle and be secured by the thumb screw. The rail is 5.5" in length and it provides a mounting base for any paintball scope or accessory with a weaver compatible base.

With the combination of our m-16 hand guard rails and the new carry handle rail, Alpha Black owners now have plenty of rail space to accomodate tactical accessories like paintball scopes, flashlights and lasers.

New US Army Alpha Black Parts

The US Army Alpha Black parts are really emerging onto the scene. Recently a few companies have released some parts that will change the performance and feel of your gun. For US Army E-Grip owners, Rhythm Innovation's Alpha Black E-Grip Trigger is all-aluminum alternative that drops into the existing Alpha E-Grip. This will allow you to not only gain a smoother, lighter trigger pull but also be able to adjust your trigger's firing distance.

If you're looking for additional rail space for accessories on your Alpha Black, look no further. We special ordered rail kits that will allow you to add tactical paintball rails to your Alpha Black M-16 Hand Guard. They fit over the holed opening on your guard. These rails are almost 6" long and come in two different versions: a single rail kit and another single rail that includes an RIS style front grip. They will work on most M16 Handguards, not just the Alpha Black. There is no drilling or permenant modification needed. We are always hunting down Alph Black accessories so check back often for more Alpha Black Parts. Visit the
US Army Paintball Website for more information on this ultra-cool woodsball paintball gun.

Tippmann A5 Selector Switch E-Grip

Lots of buzz is in the air and on the web about some new releases due out very soon from Tippmann. Tippmann introduced the new Selector Switch A5 E-Grip Trigger Frame at a recent paintball event. The new Selector Switch grip borrows technology from the current e-trigger found on the Tippmann X7. The external switch allows you to select firing modes on the fly while the magnetic hall-effect trigger replaces the older mechanical trigger for smoother, more reliable firing. Estimated arrival date is around October 20th. We have begun taking pre-orders on the website. The Selector Switch E-Grip will be sold as a trigger upgrade as well as pre-installed on the Tippmann A5 E-Grip Model.

Another cool addition to our growing line of Tippmann X7 Parts is the new Tippmann X7 Expansion chamber. The chamber is machined from aluminum in the shape of a M16 mag kit. It includes everything you need to upgrade your X7. The new expansion should help level out the spikes experienced with CO2 use. This is also due in the week of Oct 20th.
