that looks excellent, good job

Looks great and very authentic, but you should do something about that pressure switch wire for the PAQ4. Try wrapping it around the handguards once, or get some tape to secure it.

Hi

Thanks for the compliment, coming from a serving CF member, it means a lot !

I normally tape the pressure switch to the tactical grip but dit not have it installed at the time...

My RS Elcan has received its green rubber sleeve so it it is now a C79A2, well extrenally speaking since the mount is still a C79 one (not too important as both bases are externally identicals)

Not quite identical, the A2 base has steel thumbscrews, but no big deal since most people can't tell without close examination.

Very nice work!

Really awesome! Nice job!

Fantastic Project! I'm loving the overall look of the C8A3! Very well done!
congrats!
This one really made my day. Too bad the RS Diemaco parts are hard to get.

Congratulations. That is one fine piece of work. Very well done.

Thanks everybody !

I'm still looking for the Diemaco receiver extension plate with sling loop and the green textured stock. If anyone knows where to get these, please PM me !

:)

Best

Vincent
