Â Oh screw you Kinnerly now I want a bacon sammich. Â I wouldn't use anything less than 25C, try an 11.1v LiPo if a 7.4v isn't cutting it, what FPS are you running?

TheFull9 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I thought it was funny, guess you didn't... My bad.... We all did, hence the replies. Nobody's actually taking a crack at you mate. Â I suppose this being a thread with a bit more of a brit military kinda flavour/following the sarcasm is perhaps poured on rather thick compared to most. As per, it's hard to tell online.

Dew Key (Dewk) Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Yea... Sorry... When I read it all I had been drinking, and my reply is the result of that. Sarcasm is hard to notice online, and if your drunk... Harder still.... lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morugatu Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm using a Guarder SP120 setup that runs fine with every other battery I own. My new problem is the ICS has a bar under the barrel which combined with the R.I.S. means no battery options for me. Â I'm considering a PEQ box, but are they even issued to British troops who use L85's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 You could stick on a PEQ I suppose, pretend that an SFSG guy got it off a SAS bloke.. that's pretty darn tenuous though. We have the LLM instead of PEQs for general issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morugatu Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Yeah, figured if someone had access to them they'd probably choose a different rifle as well. Back to the drawing board! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue845 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'm sure I've seen a photo of SFSG blokes with PEQ 2As on their SA80s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lajjvo Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'm not sure about the ICS l85, but the Star has a pretty big space above the barrel, inside the reciever. Maybe you could make a custom lipo to fit in there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'm not sure about the ICS l85, but the Star has a pretty big space above the barrel, inside the reciever. Maybe you could make a custom lipo to fit in there? The barrel on the ICS screws into the upper reciever, not the lower like the Star/Aries so you can't fit a batt there, given the internals (Trigger unit, magwell and GB) there is no space for a Batt inside the reciever of an ICS:( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scuffer Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 There's plenty of pictures of SFSG using PEQ on L85s, so you can legitimately go that route. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I am a nugget sometimes, I've seen this picture on at least 49 separate occasions.. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue845 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I've just (finally) fitted my RIS to my ICS, and I may well have to go with the PEQ box option too, since I have the same problem as morugatu. Plus, the battery connection coming out of the gun is a large tamiya. While the connection is just a minor thing and easliy fixed, it's just another niggle. Â I reckon there is space under the barrel inside the RIS for a small lipo, but there's nothing to stop it dangling out of the front of the gun, and battery changes would involve some gun dissassembly, since the bolt that holds the RIS on is under the trigger guard, and since the ICS one doesn't pop off like a real one, I had to take the TMH off just to do the bolt up. Â I'm going to have to buy another sling loop as well, since I can't get the loop off the original ICS handguard. That's not much of a problem though, since these days troops are now only using single point slings on the rear loops anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HJA1512 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Finally received my own L85A2. Â Â Comparison pic of my new ICS vs a dusty old Academy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Academy, oh yes, My first proper airsoft gun, ahhh, I really should dig that out and give it the L22 front end... great CQB gun. *Fond memories* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmypie Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) I still have an academy LSW sitting in a gun bag from many moons ago, may have to dig it out for a dust off..... Edited October 29, 2011 by Jimmypie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morugatu Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Rogue, the sling hook is easy to get off, see that fake flat head screw opposite it in the hand guard? knock it out with a screw driver (you can always glue it back in with thread lock) and then use a phillips to take the sling hook off. Took me a minute and I figured it out. Â Also, I have the same problem with the connector and I'm using a deans. I'm thinking about just putting the wire through the top in that slit where the R.I.S. flips up for access to the fake gas tube assembly. Â Thanks for the photos guys! Makes me feel not as lame mounting a PEQ on there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue845 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Thanks morugatu, brute force did the trick! Got my seighty slinged up real nice! Pics (with PEQ) coming soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
