hey guys, awhile ago on this forum i remember that there was a free mod to the A-5 front handle/grip that allowed you to bolt it to the side. Im just wondering how you do it? I'm not sure if you bolt it to the to the screw directly behind the cyclone or the one next to it?
Also, does that front handle serve any purpose? Like with the co2 or keeping the pressure up?
Thanks, I'm getting an AK-47 barrel so i need to know what to do with the front handle.

ok so it will be fine? It seems like a bad place to get dirt in when playing woodsball.....And will the piece that slides back and forth fall out?

No, never use duct tape on your gun. if you must camo tape it instead of custom painting it, get the camouflage removable fabric tape. you can pick it up at hunting stores and walmart.

open the gun up and take the nut out so it's not annoying.

you just bolt it where teh cyclone bolt goes to make it side handle... it's very impractical and useless.
