 A5 in green. I wasn't sure if the hopper and pistol grip could handle the curing temperatures when I coated this one (they can) so I left them black. The lip in the front is derived from short-barreled machineguns to keep the operators hand from slipping in front of the muzzle. As it is extraneous on the A5 and somewhat blocky in contour, I reduced it by about half and rounded the edges.


Cutting down the front sight obscures less of the target


 Machining the optics rail to accept standard military optics (M1913 Picatinny Style)


HK Drum rear sight installed in place of the original. Unfortunately, the sights are not useable with the TAPCO AR-15 collapsing stock.




I knurled the flatline barrel sleeve for cosmetics. It isn't thick enough for the raised knurling I'd use on a real silencer.


Another A5 in METACOL III Woodland Camouflage. I was still testing the e-trigger, so opted not to paint it.
