sP1x Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hello Sadly, I can't put my hands on a real RIS, so maybe you guys know any good RIS that can fit an ARES 1st Gen L85 ? @ Darkmikey22 : Your L85 is awesome, where did you find the protective wings for the red dot of your ACOG?

Tarnish Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 BritKitUSA are a good bet for the CQB sight protector mount. Sent from my Xperia Mini using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, The Hornbill rail should fit on the Ares L85. If I'm not mistaken, the 1st Gen Ares is identical to the Star versions. Me and "my boys" all have Hornbill rails on our Star L85's. We got all our l85 parts at rsov but it looks like the rail is discontinued, it's not present on their site anymore. *Edit* Just brought out my gun to fondle it and remembered some crucial information about mounting the Hornbill ras to the Star l85. The gas-block/sight post must be milled down in order to close the "lid" on the ras. Aprox' 2mm. The mounting "lugs" on the gun that fit into the two holes on the handguard/ras has to be cut down in order to mount the ras. The slingmount and bolt has to be replaced by a longer bolt, as the Ras is wider than the stock handguard. Minor things one could do with hand tools. The milling part is best addressed with a proper milling machine for a good result. Edited January 17, 2013 by Lajjvo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KingPandaswe Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 my weathered ics What is the mount called that you put your acog on ? And where to buy it ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darkmikey22 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I got it off eBay fella. They are called L85 acog riser mount made by hornbill. I believe you can still get them from rsov.com as a scope and mount package. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KingPandaswe Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) thank you sir ! And nice l85 btw Edited April 2, 2013 by KingPandaswe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rolling-thunder Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Dispite having a few other guns {ok,quite a few} My Army R85 has become my favourite weapon. I haven't actually done anything with the gun for a while until i bought the Ladder Rail covers. It think it looks a lot better now & has great range,outranging 90% of the guns this weekend. I actually noticed that there was a fair few L85s out on the field as well. Ooops,now with added picture. Edited April 2, 2013 by rolling-thunder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Apex Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 RT, that mount you have, what is it and where did you get it ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tarnish Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Apex that question was answered two posts before RT's. L85 riser mount, airsoft version made by Hornbill. Look on RSOV or EBay. Sent from my ST15i using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Apex Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Thank you, my L85 might be getting some shinys at this rate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rolling-thunder Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 RSOV . If you search SA80 all available bits come up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rolling-thunder Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I'll post some pictures of my gun tomorrow but for now i thought i'd post a picture of my Scope with finished Wing Mount. I've used a Wing Mount sourced from Ebairsoft so i've have to use some Chemical Metal to fill the holes in the wings.It's isn't 100% yet but not bad for my first time using Chemical Metal.

rolling-thunder Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Finally put my finished gun together, Finished the wing mount & added ladder rail covers. The gun performs flawlessly in the field using a 1800mah Lipo contained in the lower reciever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blind_marksman Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I took this photo a while back but never got round to posting - my L85. Set up for an all-indoors CQB site. I'll admit it's probably not going to win any beauty contests, but it works. Also, if anyone is interested in the length difference between the ICS L85 and the ICS Carbine, I hope this helps. As you can see, the standard L85 is only longer by the length of a flash-hider. Barely any difference to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gchapman2810 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 which is better between the ICS one and the G&G one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Infadel Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Well personally I believe it to be *Drumroll* my ICS L85A2, That is because it is almost as easy for me to strip down as Field striping my KWA Glock 19! My only niggle is the Black paint isn't as Pleasing to me as my G&P AR15's were. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
