Have anyone tried giving their L85 a beaten up look? Like an AK. Scratched until the gun is almost completely silver. Just thought it'd look awesome.

[Grim]

Believe me it doesnt look that good, ive seen the cadet rifles that are a single shot version of the L85, and they look terrible like that.

IIRC, that gun was made using either an l85 springer or the academy l85 AEG as a base gun, and was almost entirely made fom plastic. The ris unit was one made originally for an armalite, and the whole thing was part of a limited run made by Carot Apple Works in Japan.

 

This was way back when, way before the star L85 series was announced. This was the time when the demand for L85 AEG's were high and was common practice amongst a few companies in Japan (such as SA80 workshop, there was also a few more I think) to churn out scratch built/customise L85 AEG replicas for stupidly high prices

Sorry for the very old quote and if this is a stupid question but what's different about the new handguard compared with the old one?

Hey Guys, Just to preface my question, i have searched and i have found very varying answers.

 

Any of you that have the G&G L85 A2, can you please tell me the STOCK fps??

 

 

Thanks for your help!!!

[ianhaz]

IIRC it was about 380fps stock

 

Edit: Thats the a1, im not sure if they bothered to change it with the a2 because the only reason they last when kept stock is because of the stupidly big spring in there.

needs more pics, so while im on photobucket:

 

like ive said on previous topics i think it looks cool, even if it is not supposed to be suppressed

 

(i dont skirmish with the suppressor on, i like the whole british army look!)

[M4_Fanatic]

Just wondering where are the rack numbers located on the SA80 (those numbers that are painted on the gun for ID purposes)? I want to put a rack number on my gun but I don't know where it goes. I think it's on the cheek rest or the front of the hand guard (I have no idea)?

 

After I get my SUSAT and then I'll post a pic

Varies depending on the unit. Most have them along the top just in front of the butt, we have them on the bottom behind the magwell. Also SUSAT has another number that goes on top in the circular part.

[Hewes]

alot of soldiers that i have seen dont have the numbers on their rifles, am i not seeing something?

[Lerch]

 

Pulled from the MOD database.

[Alfer]

I believe its for when there in stores for instance rifle number 11 is issued with susat 11 to pvt Jo Blogs

[M4_Fanatic]

Cool, I'll just get some stencils and tip-ex to get a number near the butt and behind the magwell, thanks .

 

Still waiting for the susats to go on sale (was expecting the prices for them to go down for the January sales).. lol.

[Alfer]

just write is on dont use a stencil, thats so not mil sim

[Tallbloke]

Most Armourers use stencils.....

[Hewes]

i dont think the susats will og down much in price i bought all my stuff when it first came out £375 for a l85, worth it though, someone told me that someone ran into a tree full pelt barrel first to prove that the star rifles are good, didnt break though

 

btw susats FTW!!

[Ingo_Sleeps]

it might be because i was with the grottiest training unit in the land, but when i saw rifles fitted with the susat the number on the sight didn't always match the number on the rifle itself.

then again, i didn't get to play with the susat much. hooray for heavy infantry and the land of carry handles that you can't use to carry the weapon...

They'll be on there. Rifles will have a butt number assigned to them (for easy reference and organisation within the armoury) that could potentially be written anywhere on the rifle - on the bottom behind the magazine, on the top behind the cheekpiece, anywhere. This is so the armourer and the soldier can easily identify each rifle (clear, short number per rifle). Each rifle is stamped at production with an "Alpha number", which is the serial number and reads A#####, where # is 0-9. The alpha number is always stamped onto the lower TMH in the same place, but the butt number could be written anywhere.

I haven't been so happy over a gun...
