fnfr3ger Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) i've found those but i can't seem to find the difference between the a1 and a2 (between the handguards) ... Edited November 25, 2006 by fnfr3ger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ban_paintball Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 A2 seems to be thinner.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Hearst Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Well, here's my Star L85! It's still stock (cause it arrived today) but it's expensive enough in germany, so the SUSAT will come later... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cjfield1129 Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) These particular mags are made by Easy Company (hold like 350 or something). I just got them and haven't has any action yet to test their quality/reliablity or anything. They are a nicer, tighter fit than standard CA/ICS/TM/etc brand M16 mags. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> On the follow-up note, I got to test the mags out recently. The mags look and fit better but their feeding quality was not up to par with other types of M4/16 mags. I am using a 11.1v lipoly so that has to do something with it...but to what extent, I'm not sure. I can to get out a burst of 6 or 7 BBs before the gun starts to dry fire on that burst. I'm going to try disassembling the mags, cleaning, and lubing. Hope it helps. Edited December 4, 2006 by cjfield1129 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WickedBassie Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) In case any one was curious what thermold M16 mag would look like in the L85. Also I finally got the Susat. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I tried to get a Thermold mag in my L85, it didn't lock.... It just doesn't slide in deep enough...

cjfield1129 Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Maybe manufacturer's have slighly different specs. Where your mags made by Easy Company or another manufacturer? I do have to give a good push up in order to lock the mag in. Hmmm...interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WickedBassie Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 It's a Realsteel Diemaco mag which i have sawed of to the corect length and modified it into a lowcap. It fits fine in my G36 stanag mag conversion. It's too bad, because it looks good, but is like 5 mm short of locking (havent measured it really, but it is too far for pushing a bit harder ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Voodoo1 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) Does anyone else find their mags are loose in the housing? my star mags are a little loose & wobbly and the Guarder HK style hicaps i got to go with it are very loose and can be pulled off the weapon without releasing the catch AFV batteries are an absolute pain to fit/remove apart from this very very happy with my new baby Edited December 6, 2006 by Voodoo1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SPG Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Here's one to take you right back - so far in fact I don't know whether to put this here or in the "Guns you'd never show section". It's an all plastic model kit springer bought in 1985 and assembled by me. It was SO bad it hardly got any use at all, so it sat upstairs in my loft for years and years till I found it the other day. It's all original, apart from the dust. Yup it's an A1, but then again this old, what else would it be? Lovely plastic SUSAT with absolutely no internals at all - then again it's so wobbly it'd never hold an aim anyway. The only clue to the maker a tiny LS on the mag - and those really are the last 3 of the 50 plastic BBs that came with it 21+ years ago. So either I've got something very rare which I should sell on e-bay for £££s or it's a POS plastic model kit to put back in the attic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr6 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Hi guys, not a pic, a question, please forgive. I'm in the market for an SA80 (L85). What to get, Star or G&G, my local airsoft shop has the latter so would save on shipping etc. I'll post a pic soon as I get one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyMoFo Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 whichever you prefer, really.. STAR are nice, but so is G&G.. and lots of people complain cause of bad internals on the G&G but really if you don't mind a little down time with the gun then it's not an issue really cause G&G's customer service is awesome, if your gun gets a problem they will send you replacement parts, so i guess thats the cheaper option.. but if you dont want to be constantly worried about your gun ###### out mid-game, then go for STAR, but then STAR internals arent the best by any means either..

WickedBassie Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 If you choose the G&G... Get the "normal piston kit" instantly... saves a lot of money... And throw that blowback mechanism as far as you can out of a driving car at 120 kmh (preferably whilst driving over a gorge or bridge...). please Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm *beep* at messing with AEG's, my local airsoft shop (6mil) love me cause I break mine if I open them and have to buy new ones lol Joking aside, what's the issue with the 'blowback'?

EddieVanHalen Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 The 921 and 916 "PistonMuncher" from Wilcard's pic in action. (And oh.... Where was Hans ) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If your gonna impersonate my former unit please do it properly. Get your combat jacket drawcord tightened and tucked under....your wearing yours like a pongo. Its so you can drop empty mags down front of your jacket during a firefight and not lose them....its quicker and easier. Oh and also because it makes us look all smart I wont go into the other stuff cus the jacket is the one that stands out most to me. Just tryin to help you out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 My old Spring SA80 with a strip of RIS attached and my M203 off my M4, Don't know why i did this i was just having a bit of fun currently the old spring SA80 had front pillar grip and a torch attached to it. I would of done this to me STAR SA80 but its the carbine version so i has the LSW(L86) fore-grip instead. Sorry about picture quality my web-cam is crappy. Hopefully ill get some pics up of me an Cougar when we skirmish next me with my STAR SA80A2 Carbine and Cougar with his G&G SA80A1. Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
