This goes against the grain here but I'd steer away from sights and other needless things that only add to the looks and add weight.  A gas-thru t-stock is the best stock out there.  There's a reason why stock players use them.  They're light and you can play them very tight.

Guys, read the whole thread.  I have a stock!

 

Got my Scepter launcher in early.  The wife paid 1/2 of the cost and surprised me with it for my anniversary!  Never saw that coming.  Anyway, I didn't realize that it has a built-in barrel adapter, which means I can't use my Flatline (without modding).  Besides that, its longer than the Flatty and so wouldn't look right.  I think I saw a shorty Scepter somewhere but I don't want to give this one up considering that it was a gift and it would probably take awhile to even find one anyway.  I could just go with a longer J&J or something but I don't think it would really look right either and I'll be using this for scenarios, for which I like mil-sim.  So, what do y'all think of the Scepter coupled with an AK Apex?

You're right, but I just don't care too much for the look of either the M-4 or M-16.  Too late now, anyway; I just ordered it a few minutes ago.  If it looks like crap, I'll just sell it, but here's to hoping.

Oh well. Who knows, it could look awesome, and I'll look like an idiot. Hahaha. I'm almost done with my A5AK. There is a top sight rail cover that I want to get for it, but other than that, its done.

Nah, it looked terrible so I sold it.

Here's what I'm currently doing with it.

Well if you still wanted to go the ak way, you could get that ak-47 launcher from rap4.

Okay, I finally finished Duracoating it.  Took me over a month for various reasons that I will detail in the thread that I linked to, above, when I get a chance.  I figured I'd throw a few pics up in the meantime, though.  It still has a few small details to take care of, but otherwise I'll call it done.  Let me know what you think.
