Morbidus Report post Posted August 9, 2006 oh great, G&G hope they'll prove me wrong... Recoil bolt sounds good tho... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DazJW Report post Posted August 9, 2006 I don't like the idea of the moving bolt as standard, it's another thing to go wrong that doesn't need to be there. If it's built solidly enough then fair enough, but I forsee stories of those breaking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlickAxe Report post Posted August 9, 2006 Shouldn't the quality of G&G have been improved? Like also CA managed to do after a while... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gundrosen Report post Posted August 9, 2006 Is this thing going to be plastic or metal? On the picture the edges look kida of plastic, but it's to hard to tell for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pilko Report post Posted August 9, 2006 Is this thing going to be plastic or metal? On the picture the edges look kida of plastic, but it's to hard to tell for sure. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Metal just have a look at the other thread on this: Linkage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats about £250.50!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> if it really is that much i think i'll be getting one, the star one is ok but i cant justyfy the price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nightfire6 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 I think im gonna wait for the ICS one, then find a way to take the star blowback kit and put it inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcde08 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 ICS is making one too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilliboba Report post Posted August 9, 2006 thats like 500 USD, a tad expensive for me.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> $500!?! So much for it being drastically cheaper than Star... I hope ICS can pull off a cheaper one of less than $400. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nightfire6 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 Well G&G guns tend to be pretty expensive. And Yes ICS is making one, you can search these forums for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fnfr3ger Report post Posted August 9, 2006 But wich one's going to be the best ? Personally (as a beginner) i would like to have an L85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Report post Posted August 9, 2006 Disable that bolt blow back and i'm there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianhaz Report post Posted August 9, 2006 It says "new version gearbox" so whether that means new to G&G(they havent done a gun with a ver6 before have they?) or a completely new box only time will tell. It will be marui compatable i think, because didnt G&G just make the GR16 series marui compatable? It would make no sense whatsoever to make it G&G unique.

FarEast Report post Posted August 10, 2006 Wow that new gear box is one in the eye for Tokyo Marui!!!! next thing you know a main land Asain company will have a new hop-system totaly different to anything else on the market. Just wnder as Enfield no longer are around if they will give it the correct trades or make it a GR80 or some other stupid name and place it on the gun? Also a nice feature would be if they could incorperate the star spring replacement system...... truely easy to replace a spring now! Alas this came way to late for me as i already have the STAR L85A2 with Susat, but i hope it's worth it for the others that couldn't justify the cost!

Angry Report post Posted August 10, 2006 Has anyone else noticed that they say it has a stamped sheet steel body! I'm definitely having one of these! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shard Report post Posted August 10, 2006 Interesting gearbox design, should keep the motor more stable than a pistol grip fitted one Looks quite good to me, though i dont think the cocking lever moving is a smart inclusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
