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...

Very nice work!

Fantastic Project! I'm loving the overall look of the C8A3! Very well done!
