My A5-M4 Flatline

I've still got a lot of work I want to do on this, but I'm out of funds till i start work again in a month or two.   The red dot is just a cheapo $20 thing that I picked up at Canadian Tire, I plan to get a better one with a 2x zoom when I get the funds.  

Made the Mag kit myself.   It's made out of 2 pieces of angled metal I had lying around, and an airsoft mag I bought.  

Made the shroud myself.   It has a home made RIS system, which is just plastic rails bolted to the shroud.   Hand guards are store bought.  Modified the stock fore grip to fit on to the bottom hand guard.   The shroud itself is shortened a few inches from the stock one.

Made the Tac cap myself.  Holds 40 rounds.

Most A5-M4's I see need that RIS riser mount in order to mount the M4 carry handle.   I modified mine to fit directly on the gun's sight mount. 

Has an E grip.   I like to make my shots count, cause I don't like wasting money and paint is expensive, but the high ROF is sure welcome when I need it.   The full auto really helps it feel like a real M4 as well.

Guess that's about all I have to say.   Like I said, I have a lot more I plan to do on it, but this is how it's gonna stay until I have the money to do so.

What'cha think?

wut the heck  is that?

You should get this for your A5 to make it more like an M4/M16

Its an actual working magwell wit a mag release button that I bought from the Rap4.com (it came from their NEW T-68 markers) store here in Northern California....only costed me $40.

Thanks for the nice comments, and constructive criticism. :)   I'll post more pics as I update it with new things.

Actually you dont have to use the 98c Flatline barrel jus to add some length and to place a front sight on the barrel to complete the look....this is what the owner of the pbshop that "was" in business before he retired....he took his A5 Flatline shroud and cut off 1" from the front end of the shroud....the end result was awesome and he only did it to add the JCS bi-pod to his A5, you can apply the samething to your Flatline shroud and be able to put an M16 front sight and if you want a "flash suppressor" on the end of the barrel...to further give your A5 that M4 look.
