| Review: |
My goal was to mount a female Palmer Stabilizer in a bottom line position. I have heard and read that the male Stabilizer can make a tight fit for large hands on the A-5. I choose the Lapco universal mount to get the job done. Install of the Lapco was a breeze. Use the small allen wrench that came with your A-5. Remove your stock parts. Place your new Lapco in the grip and hold it up to light to check for fit. Mine fit so well it looked like the hole in the Lapco had been drilled on the production line at Tippmann.
Tighten the allen screw back down, and your done. The fit was perfect, no wiggle even when I put some muscle into trying to get the mount to move. The screws in my Stabilizer mounting kit turned smoothly and snuggly into the Lapco mount. As an unexpected benefit the Lapco mount moved my bottle down an inch helping my 20oz. co2 clear my wrist and forearm. |

| Conclusion: |
IMO the Lapco universal mount is a quality product. It fit perfectly, and installed in less than 5 minutes. You could install this in about 60 seconds if you had a need to. The strengh of this product and quality of the threading will give you years of hassle free service. |
