Finally got my viking and pictures after a *nice* 3 month wait, but damn is she worth it. I have the WAS boards and evil eyes installed (thanks to a bud o mine) and the 1.4 software. This marker rips, and it's lookin like I can get about a hopper and 5 or 6 pods off it.

ohhhhhhhhhh AKA goodnesss, Saiyanpride's PBX 03 excal, his merlin and my featherlite viking

There might be 1 03 pbx left, call paintballistix

Thank you guys for the compliments, she's a beaut. About the eye covers, they came stock but jmj concepts (http://www.jmjconcepts.com) makes them for like 40 bucks or so

How well does it balance out? One thing I didnt really like bout the Viking that my friend had was that the balance was nice, but the boxy feel kinda make it uncomfortable playing front. LOVE THE LOOK THOUGH! Thats like as peaches for a viking. :D

Nice gun. My team is eventually going over to AKA markers next year. A teammate already got a viking all was'd out, its like a timmy minus the extra 500 dollars they put into it to make it look good.

Wait...Vikings get 2000 shots of a 68/4500, not 1800...My Omen got 1800....

it all depends how your regs are tuned and if it is broken in.
they usually range from 1700-2000 from a 68/45

Pretty nice, but I would have perfered the "smooth" featherlight over the "angled" one. I like my original WAS's PBX alot, one day I'll have to get it on the field.

brett-- Good luck with the Immortal, that is my favorate Viking milling, I loved mine.

Are those APP flat panels the grips that come with that gun? You would think for a $1000 gun, they'd at least put some Hogue wrap-arounds on it...

Wrap arounds do not fit with out modification because of the trigger guard.

I've never really noticed, I can not think of one occcasion where I actually use the finger grooves on wrap arounds anyway.

Weeeeell they did throw in a 130 dollar was board, 50 dollar eye covers and the work in redoing the CAD milling for free, so I'm not complaining.

Wobbles it feels pretty nice, the whole boxy thing is now just a bunch of aluminum shavings over at JMJ. I can't wait to use it wensday night at rex plex.

replex is an amazing facility, i had a b-ball tourney there (won it in fact) and then played paintball after the championship game. walking into that place i think i soiled my pants.
