After playing around with the opsgear A-5 builder i think I've created a reasonable facsimile... what you guys think?

actual:

OPSGEAR: I figure I have the bi-pod deploying foregrip so it can pull double duty. plus I may be able to replace a carbine buttstock with one of the balckhawxx stocks if I feel so inclined.

I also decided to go the ACOG sight even though I already have a red dot... just for something different
Awesome!

Re: 551 Commando
I think you should either get rid of the G36 mag or get the double mag

Re: 551 Commando
o and also go with a big shot barrel if you want looks. I think the big shot barrel that you can use on ops gears a5 builder. Try the 8 inch

Re: 551 Commando
either the double g36 mag or no g36 mag at all? that's an odd stand isn't it?

I'm also looking into a 10" barrel since it just pokes out past the shroud... & I don't think there's a 10" Bigshot is there? I'm thinking about one of the rifled Recon RAP 4 barrels... I used to use one & I kinda liked it' performance. Either that or I'll get some Palmer's Brass everyone's raving about.

EDIT:
in the new pic I slapped up in the first post it appears an 8" bigshot may work rather well afterall

Re: 551 Commando
I think it's good, but you could modify some parts, like the stock for instances to make it look as close as possible.

Re: 551 Commando
Yeah I figure I'll just get a solid sight relief stock then carve it up. I wanted to stick with a folding stock for a while but then I rationalize that It's an assault rifle set up & not a SMG so I won't be holding it the same way anyways.

I'm gonna skip the cheek rest though b/c it would defeat the purpose of the sight relief.

Re: 551 Commando
The new idea is better, in my opinion. Maybe you could find an airsoft 552 stock?

Re: 551 Commando
been thinking about that... but I'd like to have to do as little modding to this as possible since I'm gonna get someone else to do most of it.

But I might if I think there will be enough sight relief... only time will tell.
anyone know where I could get just a stock so I can keep my options open?
