Here's the A5 I got from Ebay.
I wasn't really happy with the quality of the paintjob, so today I stripped it down and repainted it black.
I've changed the stock, removed the mag and replaced it with a rail from Undergoundmodshop.com.
Next, I'll probably add the Short Striker Rail from them as well.
I'm also getting rid of the flatline. Replacing it with my Apex and a cutdown barrel.

Here's the before and after pics:

Before:




After:

Yes. It's an Apex.
I made the holes for 2 reasons.
1. To give the air aplce to go
2. To make it look a but cooler.

I also removed the badges, and used very fine, wet sandpaper to dull it up, and make it look cooler as well.

What link are you talking about.

As far as the gun being chopped off. Bad photoshop on my part.

It is definitely my gun.
