Algin over at AirsoftClub has sent over news and photos of their full metal L85A1 project. Instead of following the design and assembly that the real firearm follows (which isn’t perhaps the best way to build an electric replica) they have gone back top the drawing board and come up with a new design:
In the process of the full metal L85A1s project, we use about six weeks to test our product.
Before we are using the metal bodys upper and lower guns body part to assemble the gun, but the result of that is the gap has appeared between the upper and the lower s gun body part, which can seen by the human eyes to see the gear box!?
After we had known this problem, we have discussed on this topic and we are all totally disagree of this design, and we have discovered that we are not doing the real gun! We are now doing the toys gun! So we are now following the original style of the Korean academy; use the left and right approach to assemble the gun body, but we also keep its style of the real gun. Then we separated it in 4 pieces of that, which mean we divided the gun into the left body and the right one, and also separate the left and right parts into upper one and the lower one, so that there is in four pieces! After that we use the fire welding the upper and the lower part which made that is no gap appears anymore in the gun body! So we only need to assemble the left and the right one. Nevertheless, but we have successfully done this now.
The time lengthen on that, the production process become more complex, the actual cost get higher, but we just want to have a perfect one!
We feel very sorry for all of the fanatic airsoft friends need to wait a long time,
And now the new design is arrived in front of you, we are now is putting all our effort to do this.
As the Chinese New Year, we need to stop the job temporarily, so please be patient to wait for that gun to produce. We are now doing our best. The guns body will mass produce after the holiday, about 2-3 weeks will be done.
We now also introduce the new item for all of us to choose to purchase,
This second, we know that many people have his own Academy gun.
We are now introduce the DIY Metal Body Version, which can give you a chance to exchange the gun body.(If you feel troublesome/ dont know how to assemble this, you can contact your near local retail gun shop/guns smith to assemble this) We do this is want to save the time and the human resource in the assemble process, and also provide the chance to make other airsoft businesss field to join with this service. And we also want to remind the people who have this gun, hope you can respect of that design, and not to copy the product design,( but we also feel that are not easy to prevent).
We are bless this product can sell it in more time in this competitive time, and we are use our heart to do the best job.
