Probably not to everyone's tastes, but this is my baby A5, which incidentally isn't just for looks.........
  I also now run a TPX sidearm, but I have only just acquired this, so is stock out of the box............ EK |

I did have a separate folding grip and bi pod on there but it was too cluttered for my taste, I prefer this one for the functionality........
And thanks for the honesty and compliment  EK |

I was expecting it all blinged out like in Army if Two. Looks good but looks real stock, a custom paintjob might put it into the unique category.

I have been toying with the idea of highly polishing the shroud, just I haven't had time for it to be complete before D10 this weekend, but don't worry - I thought of things along the same lines aswell.
It's far from finished......... EK |

I like it, but do you have any issues with the functionality of the cyclone with the stovepipe connection how it is?

It's a sheet metal shroud. They cone powder coated from factory. OpsGear used to make them now RAP4 and other companies do.

ok, scotch brite or steel wool should take off the coating and polish it.

Hiya, yes, it's a great piece of kit........ As for the 'Stove Pipe', there are absolutely no issues what so ever - I would not have able to fit a scope without it. The only things I want now are an adjustable sight rail riser and maybe an air through kit - I have been toying with the new Tacamo mag conversion kit, but I would have to look into a few things first........

Thanks buddy, when you do get you one, just don't expect to be running around like Rambo or anything with it. Even with a more 'normal' length of barrel the thing is still a bit on the heavier side of things! EK |

Oh trust me i have used it a couple of times
Ya its heavy, but its got the egrip so really its more of a support marker But might take down the shroud and trade it up for a UMP shroud Not sure just yet |
