Need an A5, I think...

So, I've been lusting after the B5 Bullpup for about a year now. Last night I get the idea that I can do this on the cheap if I piece together all the components, and just by the basic shroud.

I hop onto FeeBay and notice an A5 Sniper/Assault kit with a $75 bid, and only 2 hours left. The seller had no previous sales, so I figure that I might be able to get it pretty cheap.

Well this morning I checked, and I won the bid, uncontested. Wondering why it went so low, I realize that the auction had all the parts except for the A5 itself. So, now I'm stuck with an eGrip board, but no trigger frame, and a bunch of odds and ends I need to resell.

A-5 Flatline Barrel (fairly new with original box)
A-5 Collapsible stock (new with original packaging)
A-5 E-grip internal electronics
A-5 8" stock barrel
A-5 14" Proto barrel
A-5 Stock air-line.
Cyclone feeder internals
& 2 Brand new 200 round pods

Yikes, was the auction shady making it seem like it was a complete A5? I would tell him forget it.

Re: Need an A5, I think...

No, it was entirely my fault. I did a search for A5, and I think I must have assumed that an A5 was in the auction.

Re: Need an A5, I think...

Bad ebay-fu grasshopper! I'll have to think about it. I've thought about getting a flatline, but I hear they're finicky. What kind of A5 e-grip is it?

Re: Need an A5, I think...

I think it's just the stock board.

Tippmann parts sells the grip frame for $80, which is pretty freakin expensive. You think I'd have a hard time getting one cheaper somewhere?

Re: Need an A5, I think...

I was just looking at a video on youtube of a B5 internals. It looks like I don't need the grip after all. The board is mounted directly to the inside of the B5 shroud.
