My black tip and AFG 2 came in today. The tip came from a superb airsoft dealer: ShortyUSA. I will definitely be buying from them again soon. After almost an hour of fighting with my gun, and numerous scratches on the barrel (but that's okay, it gives it character) I was finally able to get the orange tip off of my gun. The tip... didn't look so good in the end:

But the gun looks beautiful with a black tip and AFG 2. It almost looks real. The AFG was extremely simple to install compared to the tip (thanks, Magpul)

Next stop: A Magpul Dynamics CTR and LiPo buffer tube batttery.

Looking good! More coming soon,
