Anyone have a picture of an AC with a Lapco barrel adapter + barrel on it? I have an A5 threaded stainless boomstick that I'd love to use, but not sure she'd look good with an adapter. My Googlefu is apparently not strong enough.

A5 freak backs already have the insert a little forward of the breach so the bolt won't pull the insert out. Add the adapter and you are likely looking at 1.5" of large bore before your insert. That will lead to all sorts of barrel breaks.

Generally I'm not a big fan of barrel adapters unless I'm getting a set of different bore sizes. Shooting from a larger back to a smaller front just doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
