Would also like the option to put the vx5 back on another gun with a pic rail, not sure about the pic rail on the m7 blocking up the ejection port though

Aye, you'll need to check if it's a three or four hole receiver.

Mine is a three hole, only managed to find EGW who made a 20MOA 3hole picatinny rail.

Special order from the USA, bit of a pain but got it eventually. Had to epoxy bed for full receiver contact, but all good since.

EGW is cut properly and allows you to load the internal mag easily, does not foul ejection in any way, however it does sit higher as a result.

I'd recommend that anyone loading a flooplate should learn to load it from the bottom. You can top up the mag with the bolt closed which is a huge advantage IMHO.
