Tippman A5 Recall, if you've got an A5 check this

Tippman is recalling a version of the rear endcap assembly of the A5. Depending on the serial number of your particular A5 you may need to have your endcap replaced.

This in no way affects the A5FG foregrip that I make. Still going strong and as rugged as ever!

You can get the full recall info and apply for a replacement part here:

Paintball Season is on it's way!

Just a friendly reminder to everyone that paintball season is on it's way! (that is if you don't play winterball!) If you're wanting a new A5FG grip ready for the season, be sure to get your order in before everybody else does or you may have a bit of a wait for your new gear! Don't forget you can also check tacticalpaintball.ca for stock if you don't want to buy direct.

Also remember, if you buy direct, I offer FREE shipping for all of North America. (that's Canada and USA for the geographically challenged. ;) )

Also, with the new season starting up I'd suggest that you read up on getting your A5 in tip-top shape for the season. I did a quick search and found a great set of videos on youtube. Link below.

Cleaning and Maintaining your A5. Part1

There are 4 parts. You can find part 2, 3 and 4 on the sidebar once you open up the first one.

I'm not in any way associated with the videos poster. I found them useful and though you may also...

A5FG USER TIP

Here's a great tip for A5FG users to keep their grip in top tactical shape.

If you're finding your grip getting a bit warn through many intense games of woodsball, you can make it look just like new again!

Remove it from your marker, then clean it with a non-abrasive soap and water. (hand dish soap works well)
and here's the secret.

Dry it out well, then apply a little vegetable oil to a clean lint free cloth and rub it into the A5FG. You'll be surprised at how it cleans up and removes markes from the black surface. (only use enough to clean it up, you don't want it dripping!) You can then wipe it with a dry cloth to clean up any excess oil.

Just don't let your pets at it, they may think it's a snack.

Thanks!

New Gear any ideas?

Hey there,

I've had some success with the Tac Ops Foregrip. The Tac-Ops A5FG. (go buy one if you haven't already or tell your friends about it, or do both!) I am on the lookout for your thoughts and ideas on new gear for the A5! If you have any ideas, give me a shout. I'd love to hear from you! If you give me an idea that I actually am able to create and manufacture. (As long as I haven't already thought of it!) Once it's in production and for sale, I will gladly send you one for free!

Rules and Legal speak:

Your idea must be your own. I don't want anyone sending me an idea for something that already exists!

By submitting an idea to me you agree that you are giving this idea to me through goodwill with no expected return. If you submit an idea you agree that you will not pursue legal action if I actually follow through and turn the idea into a product! If you do NOT agree with this than don't submit an idea to me! By submitting an idea for a product you are giving me worldwide rights to manufacture and sell the product, and/or the production, rights to a third party with no implied or expected revenue or alternate type of payment in return to the submitter of the idea.

I create very small production runs of the products I make. Sculpting, prototyping, mold making and casting is a labor intensive process not to mention the high cost of materials! An idea submitted is just that, an idea. The process I take to create a product from any given idea is a process I completely develop on my own and as we live in a commercial society, I expect to benefit from my execution of my hard work. Don't ask me for compensation for any product you see that comes from my workshop! Even if you think you're the one that submitted an idea, more often than not, many people come up with the same idea and I may just be working on a product that is the same or similar to something you've thought of on your own.

Finally, I'll say again, if I receive an idea from you and it leads me to a manufactured product which I begin selling then I will send you a copy of the product for free. Weather or not the product is the SAME as the idea you submitted or an alteration of the idea. If your idea sparked the process for the product, I will send you one as a gesture of thanks. You will need to trust that I am one of the good guys in this world and will keep my word!

If that didn't scare you away! Sent me your thoughts and Ideas! I've already got a few thoughts on what I will produce next but I'm always interested in finding out what people are looking for!
Thanks! ~Jeff

Ready for orders.

Just finished cleaning up the link for direct ordering of the A5FG through Paypal.
Be sure to read the posting: The Tactical Operations Custom A5 Foregrip. To get some insight on the creation process and of course for lots of pictures.

If you purchase a grip either from me or through tacticalpaintball.ca
I need your feedback and reviews! I also love to post pics of your gear with the Tac-Ops A5FG installed!

If you're feeling particularly Blog-ular why don't you head over to pbreview.com and post some pic's there with your personal review of the grip. I've been using it on my A5 for the entire paintball season and I know it'll get stellar points! 10/10 all the way!!

Let me know that you've been blogging about it so I can read your reviews!

Thanks!
~Frosty.

How it all began...

I'm a full-time 3D artist so I spend a lot of time "sculpting" on computers. In order to keep my sculpting skills above par, I love to sculpt and cast real life products and so it was a perfect transition for me to go from virtual sculpting to real sculpting when I decided to start Radical Plastic! Combine this with my weekend addiction which is paintball and what do you get? Custom paintball gear designed by a real paintballer for paintballers!

I've been playing Paintball on and off for a number of years. I've seen my fair share of different markers and I've played with some really good ones and some really bad ones (rentals usually!) I play mainly Outlaw Scenario Woodsball and always have an awesome time!
