Yes, IMO the only gun that should go with M/90 is the Ak5 of some variation, just like the only guns for Flecktarn are G3s and G36s...

Why they decided to build the obsolete version, I don't know, but I have a feeling it they wanted to appeal to the Northern European market, so when they released their FNC rifles, it was easy enough to design a new Ak5-like handguard and paint the guns green...

However, G&G's GF85 misses out on a lot of the smaller parts that have been changed on the Ak5:

The Front sight ring
Cocking handle - Should be a round knob
Magazine release button - Should be a circle
Pistol grip - should be smooth - not ribbed
Apparently the rear sight is slightly different also...

I have seen people with scratch built versions of the handguard, fitted onto a star FNC, and it is possible to fix these part's yourself, but I really think that G&G aught to had paid more attention to detail, like they usually do.

I hope that if this conversion kit is released, we should get replacement parts for all the ones G&G missed out if it will be released as a conversion kit, and pre fitted if it is a ready made gun.

Thanks,
