I'm no photographer (I can't set a scene to save my life) but this is as best as I can do. Excluding my MP5K these are all the working AEGs I currently have: With the exception of the stock CA M15A4 rifle the others have all been built from scratch. LTR: M16A2 + M203, M15A4, Solid-stock M733S, L85A1 and AK47. This is my M40A1: You can see some bigger photos of them and my others guns at: guns.davidwulff.co.uk My xmas project is a custom MP5A4 - the host + parts are en route from HK since Monday.
