Just got this in a trade for an asa. This an AO'ers old project perhaps? Pretty neat old pre-powerfeed body mod.

Looks like the rail is milled and drilled for an RT-P VASA as well. Cool find!

Definitely worth an ASA, possibly even two or three!

How is the siterail held in place?

Looks like they drilled and tapped the body and bolted it on, pretty clean job too.

Edit: Also, body is apparently pump milled.

Very cool, like to see this with a sight or scope on it.

After a lot of rust removal and cleaning, blown up asa, a few disassemblies, new macroline, some good head-scratching, some frustration and then finally some lube it lives. Found the original vert ASA and foregrip in the box of parts it came with. Unfortunately no barrel to be found; just can't seem to get a mag that doesn't turn into a project.

Nothing like turning an on/off into a twisted oring shrapnel mess. Guess thats what I get for trying a cheapo with an SHP.

Another asa, think it was a CO2 mag at one point, the grip is actually an expansion chamber.
