I'm looking to replace a couple of things and I'm wondering what your suggestions are.

I currently have this gas through foregrip on my gun:

I'd like to replace it with a shorter one. I was looking at the CP mini gas through on actionvillage but they have no measurements.. does anyone know if this one is shorter (or know of a shorter one?)

I'm also looking to replace my mask - right now I have a DYE invision and the only thing I don't really like about it is that replacing the lens is such a PITA. I like to swap between clear/tinted lenses for indoor/outdoor and it's a real annoyance with this mask. Are the new DYE masks any better or is a Proteus or something decent and easy to change? The Proteus is only $20 nowadays (remember when they were $80ish!) so if that's still a good mask with easy to change lenses, I'd like to pick one up.

Thanks for any help!

CP mini IS shorter than yours, although I don't have exact measurements...

wow i remember you from years back. Playing against you at BFG tournies. good to see you back into it.

You can get Proteus masks on ebay dirt cheap. the lens change is the same as all the spectras they have. I picked one up a few months ago and am very pleased with it.

It looks kinda fat. Would it hit my trigger guard?

Word.. I did use to play w/ mad cow at BFG, do you still go there? I might stop down and shoot off a few rounds one night :)

Looks like actionvillage has proteus for $20.. seems pretty damn cheap.

negative, havent been there in years. just went to half a dozen or so tournaments. Apoc and Stalker are pretty much both in my back yard. though i do travel to splat Camp and Sams for the bigger games.

the mask i bought was actually bought on a whim. It came with this voice activated system for hands free talking if i care to go all out and get into the big scenario games. Hell for 35 bucks it was had to reisist.

you should go to Sams big game in a few weeks.

I was thinking about it - I want to, but none of my friends really do, and it kinda sucks going alone.

Well, it's just knowing who's who out of 300 guys ;) That would be cool, though.

Cool, will do, thanks man.

Now I just have to decide before then if I want to keep running my warp or switch to a VF ULE body.. hopefully I can figure that out before I need to shoot ;p

Lol, Spectra lenses are the hardest to change. If a Proteus is the same as Spectra, you don't want one. Anything from Vforce is perfect for what you want. The lenses change in seconds.
