L115A3 This is the ARES AW338 spring version. It's all pretty much standard at the moment, needs some work internally. Externally I managed to source the correct flash hider for this. The brand is calibre, and had to order from abroad. But never heard or seen them since. I know ARES did do one similar for their Stryker range, but the dimensions made it look fatter than it should. I was also led to believe the AW338 barrel is slightly thinner than that of the stryker, leaving their flash hider too loose a fit. I've added extra serial number stamps on the bolt and handle as is done on the real thing. Managed to source the correct Type scope mount, and a replica S&B scope. Then I've had a dovetail to picatinny scope mount 3D printed, correct to the real one. Now at this stage, it is just a prototype. And still working on the finer details. Other part 3D printed, is the L115A3 45° STIC NVG rail. This Is clipped into the front of the rifle as per the real thing. Both parts have been painted an aluminium colour. Then sprayed over with black. Worn back around the edges, giving the illusion it's metal. As I have based this off of L115s in Afghanistan. Most rifles seen were covered in tan SCAPA tape at the time, with some individuals adding some extra colour/camo to their rifles. Similar to those seen on the earlier issued L96 at the beginining of the OP herricks in afghan. Mine is a replication of that, covered in SCAPA, and the paint scheme similar to that of a family members. Also added ranging marks as also seen on sides of the rifles at the time.

For a AEG, do a lot of research before buying. You can pick up a RIF that will last you for years. For gear, go cheap (or surplus) at first and find out what does and doesn't work for you (what you need more of and what you need less of) and from here you can work out what you'd like to run in the future before you dedicate serious money into your kit.

Welcome back, to be honest it's not changed much in the 4 years you've been away. More info is needed if you want the best advice, budget, style of play, cosmetically what you like the look of, even your size & fitness level could be a factor, not gonna recommend an m14 ebr (for example) if your 5ft2 & 8st when wet🤔

Welcome back ✋ Do a few searches in the forum as there are many discussions of best pew choices.

Can your friend sort it out for you? If not then best look for a tech nearby.

Aye, but elite shit...

Hi all, im currently looking for AEGs/other gear to get back into airsoft. Played from the ages of 16-18 and now 22 looking to play a few times a month. can anyone advise on the type of gun id need for a massive outdoor skirmish? cheers

If I take the PKM out I tend to do 4500 during an hour game (Which they do twice) 😅

It took them about 3 weeks to send me a letter with notice of seizure and reference number.

😐 I think i fired about 600 on my last game day.

Id be interested to see your loadout when you can take a picture

No photos but I carry a drum in the pew, and a second drum in the buttpack of my 6sh116. Gives me 5000 rounds roughly which is more than enough for a full day.

It is possible that you have a dry joint where you have soldered. Using the gun once a week for six months would be unlikely to seriously damage even the rather poor G&G trigger unit.

Nice! What's the base gun?

@Colin Allen Hello, When I plug the battery in and pull the trigger several times it will now only cycle on some trigger pulls. For example 1 out of 30 pulls. Thanks

No it's not - i have gas guns and i'm a shit player. 😂

@Nick G that’s a glowing recommendation. I think I’m sold on getting one and giving it a go.

Not surprised. I think it was double the cost of a normal game day everywhere else for half a game day till noon... Wanted to go play when I was staying in london for a while but could never justify the cost.

Going to build a RPK loadout in the new year - lets see what everyones running for carrying the mags/drums

That sucks, good luck🤞
