SA80 Picture Thread


Recommended Posts

Im sure somewhere in this thread a guy had covered the polymer parts of his L85 with desert dpm material, and it looked ace. There are some pictures of squaddies who have done the same floating around somewhere too, i guess thats where he got his inspiration. As to plain tan plastic parts, never actually seen it, but it sounds awesome! If i had a desert to play in i would love to do one of these methods to my L85, but unfortunately its my woodland weapon (well, my everything weapon till i fix my G36 or downgrade my m733), and it would stick out like a sore thumb :P

Yeah, there's that one shot from Iraq or Afghanistan, of the soldier with an L85A2 and UGL that were covered in the desert DPM fabric. There's other pictures of recce tape being wrapped around and sprayed, or the odd case of someone spraying the furniture itself, although I'm sure that's frowned upon ;)

How maneuverable is that? With the grenade launcher it looks really bulky.

 

afallan

as long as you're strong, no problems. it's actually balanced out with the UGL so you can sometimes move a bit easier.

Out of interest where can I get hold of one of those mounts for a maglite?

 

Cheers

The maglite & attached bracket are fairly easy to get hold of, the difficult bit is finding the strip of metal that attaches to the handguard (top right pic) I have only ever seen two complete units for sale.

 

Ebay or militaria fairs are the places to look.

Pretty pretty please may i have a picture from the top and front of the l22 front end.

 

I am trying to make my own, and need some closeups.

 

 

Thanks in advance :D.

 

Hey, I'm trying to do this too, but for the upcoming ICS one. Would you mind sharing the pictures with me too. For that matter, keep us (or at least me please) updated on your progress if it's not too much trouble. How are you planning to do it?
