whats the difference between mcm a5 and a a3-5

Re: whats the difference between mcm a5 and a a3-5

Really, you can't google McM and look at the pictures?
No, the A3 forend is not an A4 forend. If the A3-5 had an A4 forend, I think the guys at McM would be bright enough to call it an A4-5....

This question is what I made my comment from. the descriptions given on the website in conjunction with the pictures are pretty clear, even without frontal shots.


Does this:

Look like this?

Additionally, "whats the difference between mcm a5 and a a3-5-does anyone know?" is pretty vague and looks like you hadn't bothered to look for yourself.

I guess I should have just posted "yes"

Edge? What edge are you talking about? The two photos show very clearly what the differences in the stocks are. I knew the first time I looked at McMillan's site what the differences between an A3, A4, A5 and A3-5 were...as I'm sure everyone else here did. If you want more information than is described on the site you really ought to make your question more detailed. Start by telling us what edge you are referring to...

(or simply glance over those three large threads that BobinNC posted. You can see all the edges you like in those threads.)

Here's some pictures I found of the new A3 Sporter, yet another A3 style:

A3- Sporter

Edges? We don't need no stinkin Edges......but you can get a good view of the fore-end in these posts.

I think I know what you mean.

The regular A-5 (but with the adjustable cheekpiece w/ knobs) looks exactly like the A3-5.

I can see how you got confused. Some A-5's come with no Adj. Cheekpiece and there are some with the plastic Adj. Cheekpice and then the type with the Adj. Cheekpice with the turning knobs (internal in the stock i.e. KMW )

<span style="text-decoration: underline">I can see how you can think this stock in the pic is a A3-5 but its a A-5</span>

The A3-5 is a A-3 with a A-5 Butthook on the stock.
