 Topic: Offset A-5 Hopper?Posted: 15 August 2004 at 8:59pm |

Hey guys, I know that there are offset sight rails to give more viewing
clearance for a sight on the A-5, but I was thinking it'd be
cool/unique to offset the hopper instead, so I could use a normal sight
rail and have full clearance. I believe I'd have to offset the hopper
about half the length of the cyclone and to the right. My only question
would be how would I manufacture this angled spacer/feed neck? I'm
thinking if I get lazy I'll just send my A-5 in to docsmachines or
something and get an aluminum one custom milled for me, but if there's
an easier way I'd be glad to hear it

I know someone cut a notch out of the hopper's side and then made it flat so that you could see down it. But thats about all I know, I dont have an A-5. |

Sounds like a good idea. I dont have an A-5. Your best bet would probably be sending it off to a company/manufacturer and seeing if they can do it, unless you have all the equipment you would need.
