Hi guys,
Here it is...I have to say the red dot makes the gun...It was so funny, at my paintball field tonight I was talking with a guy and he said that the Alpha was crap and that he did not like it, did not liked how it looked. When I pull mine of my bag....he changed his mind pretty fast! HEHEHE. Seriously I think it look pretty bad ass! 
Got myself an HPA tank also..I have pretty much everything that I needed to kick some ass now!
Enjoy....

Wow that Cantilever mount really adds some height to that already tall sight rail. Might want to look into some basic scope rings to bring down the red dot.
Besides that the Marker looks great. I am a fan of Irom Sights but those are personal preferences. I have to say this is second only to Roost's M-4 ABT. Great Work.

Nah I don't want to bring it down, it is perfect with a mask, it is just perfect trust me, I have an absolute clean view of the field almost automatically. My only worries is that maybe my red dot will not be able to go down low enough to match the dot to where the ball actually it...I hope not. I will prolly get an M4 front sight from War sensor this afternoon, just to really seal the deal. It also as a swivel underneath so that I can attach my 3 point sling there.
Do you have a link to a pic pf Roost's M-4 ABT? I wanna see if my gun is really only second to the one your talking about!

Hey Evil Elvis where did you get the tan "furniture" for your grip? I'm looking for something like that for my A5-M4.

I think it would help tremendously if you made a sling loop under the barrel instead of wrapping it around it.

I got an M4 sight (which comes with a sling loop, arround the barrel was just in the meantime) and I changed my scope. First it was defective and second, with a catiliver mount on top of a carrying handle rail mount, it was too much (too high), I could not depress the red scope enough to adjust the dot properly and while standing up it was ok, but prone, it was simply too high I had to stretch my neck.
I will post new pics soon with the latest update I will also get UTG rails covers.

Here it is, with the M4 sight and the new red dot. The M4 sight is really needed without it, it felt like it was missing something. I am gonna get UTG rail covers for the R.I.S handguard and a red laser (in exchange for the defective red dot they sent me) and call this one finished.

Looks great. What sling did you get and from where? I have a 98C with an M4 kit but it didn't come with the metal hooks to attach a sling to it (that hangs below the M4 sight and rear stock). Do you know if there's a sling that comes with them or where I could buy them?
Thanks.

It's a 3 point sling that I got on ebay for $5.80 US (instead of $21 US on other website like OPSGEAR). The sling can simply be attached around the stock and for the sling attaching at the front. I bought a war sensor M4 sight, that comes with a sling swivel underneath. But the metal hook of my sling was not able to attach to the front swivel, so I had to attach a little black tie wrap ring to the swivel and I attach the hook of the sling to the tie wrap ring and it works fine and we can barely see it.
The swivel are sold separately from the sling. Just look at any website that carries milsim equipement you will find some.

Did you have to drill a hole in the carry handle to mount the sigt rail? I just ordered one for mine and was wondering how much aof a pain it would be to install.

So here it is guys, the final...FINAL version. I think it looks pretty badass!

Paint it. Not so sure about that cheek rest and stock butt pad either. You worried about some heavy recoil?

Hummm I am playing twice a week my marker is weathering itself at a relatively fast pace (already got quite a few paint chips and marks).
Personaly I don't like the fake weathering that you did on yours, it looks fake that's the problem, it is too uniform.
It kinda look weird with the really mint digi paint. IMO if you weather it, you weather it all the way not in parts or only the accessories.
We obviously do not have the same taste and it's fine! HEHEHE!

Very clean looking, glad I'm not the only one who can't stand the ARMY sticker on the side. I feel like that cheek rest on the stock might make it harder than it already is to look down the sights with a mask on.

Well you can rotate the cheek pad to the right, it is made for that. Instead of it being vertical (like in the pictures), it is at an angle and you can rest your mask on it and you can have a clear line of sight even with the mask on.
You can't leave it vertical like that with a mask on because you can't look in the red dot.
The US Army logo makes this marker look like a toy and I could not careless about the US Army personaly since I am Canadian, I also got rid of the Alpha Black plate. I really wanted a clean look, alot of people comes to me and are not sure which gun it is, because there is no marking on the gun.

Yup the shroud bolt on the barrel, so it fits on about anything if you have a barrel not wider than an inch.
