Panoptes Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) I won't reveal my source but as well as the proposed Real Sword version, talks are ongoing between two certain companies for an officially licenced version of the DD SA80 RIS....

pikuinhas08 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Firstly no, thats not what i want, secondly the ICS comes with one of those in the box! then I'm sorry my mistake. but the ICS L85A2 does not come with one of those in the box! I have one... in order to put a Acog or other red-dot on it I had to get one of those or another that comes with the red-dot... cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RSM Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Did someone say L85+ACOG ICS L85 with a few upgrades, all internal except for the STAR RIS rail and ACOG. Hard to see from this angle but I have a Trigger Master MkIII mosfet installed, took me 4 months to figure out why it wasn't working any involved having to remove the upper connectors entirely and modify the lower trigger mech quite significantly but now I have an almost instant semi auto thanks to the ICS Turbo 3000 motor and an electronically controlled rof in full auto, sits around 740RPM which isn't a million miles off the real thing - a big lipol would probably make the semi auto response 'perfect'. I just need to test it now as I have a PDI 6.05 installed in there with a black H bucking araldited to a reprofiled hop arm and a madbull blue rubber in there too, with any luck I'll be able to use .28s in it effectively for some long range thwackage.

Craby Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Some pics of my pair of L85s both are star, one is a L85A2 Rifle with UGL and the other is a L85A2 Carbine with a rile handguard and outer barrel though totally able to revert to original weapons. The L85/UGL has Panoptes HK markings applied to the rear of the weapon looking at getting an Elcan as the next addition. None of the parts on the rifles are real so they are totally within the law, just how I like them. The UGL is wicked and so similar to the 40mm it is modelled off, Id say that this feels heavier than a real one but I will have to weigh a fully loaded real one to get the answer.

Panoptes Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 How does the angled fore grip feel on the 80? Sweet as a nut. The pics with the AFG show a carbon copy of my RS setup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheFull9 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 First magpul'd L85? Awesome mate, I'd kill to have a go at a real one decked out like that, I'd bet the AFG is a fantastic addition for it. Gonna have to see if there's any weapons with the new mods knocking around camp that I can have a fondle of tomorrow... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hedganian Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 It has to be said - if I wanted an SA80, I'd want one that looks like that. Great case, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Darkchild, would it be possible for you to get a few pictures of the Acog scope mount for me? Just a thought . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Panoptes Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 £399 + shipping *cough* I know.... Well, my 'supply chain' weren't playing ball! ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpecialistR Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Beautiful rifle you have there Panoptes. Now at the risk of getting flamed by the magpul/AFG fanboys,I have to say that the AFG looks horribly uncomfortable to me. I keep shouldering my R85 and placing my hand in the position where it would be if the AFG was in place and it makes my whole left arm feel awkward. How does it work for you? I think that due to the bullpup design the trigger and pistol grip are too close to the foregrip to get a comfortable stance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Panoptes Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) Cheers. Well, no two shooters are the same physically and it works very well for me. No flames from me; I don't buy into the Costa 'long reach' pish or whatever they call it. It's whatever works for the firer. It's positioned more or less where I would hold the regular grip anyway. Anyhoo - we're wandering into RS territory now. Edited April 15, 2010 by Panoptes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warning Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) My god Panoptes! thats yet ANOTHER *fruitcagingly* awesome bit of kit you have there might sound a silly question but does the bayonet fit fine with the Rail system on there?
