Although it looked good and the reticle was sweet, the SUSAT didn't work out for me due to eye relief/quick acquisition issues. I'm trying an older version ACOG from another setup to see how I like it. The eye relief is much better (almost 3") and the magnification is also 4x which I like. What do you think?

Well, I'm, not sure what i think about your configuration.... from the practical point of view it makes sense, but from the "style" point of view it doesn't!

From the designpoint i don't like it! :)

Maybe I'm too much "traditional", but for me a L85 with another optic than a SUSAT (except issued NightVisions or scopes) is an absoluteley NOGO!

On the other hand there are some rumours about the army is going to replace the SUSATs with ACOGs...

Agreed, I can't stand to see anything other than A SUSAT, CWS, IWS or Iron Sights on an SA80. it's just a shame that the CWS is £2500 2nd hand and the IWS mount is almost impossible to get hold of.

I got it from Evike, and they sent it with a plastic flash hider. So I bought a cheap metal springer from a surplus store, and took the flash hider. The bayonet fits perfect. I used my Dremel to cut the slot for the bayonet lock, so it sits properly and doesn't spin.

Thanx for the info's dudes!

 

@maccrage: They delivered the STAR with a plastic flashhider?! :blink:

 

However, so the bayonet fits with a little modifikation - better than nutin'!

It is possible to make a photo of the slot in the fh? Would be great! ;)

Cheers bud. The gun's TOP so has the FN markings and all that. Inside, it's got a PGC gearbox and a 9.6 in the box mag wired to the trigger. The Mk 1 handguards are from a TOP Mk 1 model. As for the rail, it was designed and built by my brother. He'll probably do a run of them if there's enough interest.

If your brother does a run count me in for two (depending on price)
