 Topic: Fun Project- UPDATE pg. 2Posted: 09 July 2005 at 2:00am |

On a trip down to the pawnshop (hey, they have cool stuff sometimes) I found an A-5. Not your normal A-5, however. The previous owner tried to "mill" it (I think), but it turned out looking like he dropped it into a wood chipper. He also attempted a fade paintjob, but failed miserably. The plus side is that it had a Flatline and an E-grip on it, but what sold me was the pricetag of $25. So... here's the pics...
Before you freak out, I have all of the pieces to make it work, I just took these pictures during an inspection. It dry fired better than expected, but I could tell he had NEVER oiled it. So, anyone have any ideas (milling, paintjob, etc.) to resurrect it? Updates on page 2. Edited by Roll Tide |

That person had bad taste. I'd paint the rest green like the flatline.

I dont think you got it for $25. If you did, I would start buying everything from that guy cause he would be the worst Pawn Shop owner ever.

Its just cosmetic... I'd try finishing what he started... then put some paint
on it. As long as it shoots its a steal for $25! |

I'm too far into this to post pictures of it together, and I'm too lazy o charge my camera anyway. So, I'm smoothing out everything that I can, and I just chopped off the rear sight, and it looks pretty good. It's coming along well and I'm starting to think about paint. I have some metallic blue, and it would look good, IMO. Just need to order some parts and it'll be ready. I might have some update pictures by tomorrow afternoon/evening. |

Paint it all black to see how it looks a solid, neutral colour, then decide from there.
