The engraving, upper machining, barrel shortening and buffer tube mod were all done by LC's engineering. Jim does an awesome job as long as you are happy to wait, think the list is about 6 months long at the mo.

Couple of better pictures of the L119 A2 GBBR build for my mate as a tribute to his son. still a couple of details to sort such as the fire selector when i can find a proper one ! and a final pic with my L119 A1 GBBR

does anyone know how to remove this type of m4 hand guard?
Nick G replied to Ronalbeaniho's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
once that pin is completle out the front should just pull forward. It might be a bit stuck by the paint , worth warming the join a bit if you've got a hot air gun. -
Best way in the UK to purchase a neat tactical outfit?
Nick G replied to ModernTimes's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Unless they are Gucci jeans and hoodie ! 🤣 -
I think OP is planning to fit one. Not a single mosfet in any of my aeg's just more bloody tech to go wrong !
-
Ah, haven't seen that one . One or two inacuracies ?
-
Very true, I generally have my guns running on the low side and dont have any range issues. The DMR i'll be quite happy at anywhere around 1.7j which will give plenty of headroom. I was just making the point that legally it could run at 2.5j as it is only capable of semi auto fire .
-
'Bolt action' implies typical airsoft snipers. However an aeg can also fire at 2.5 j as long as it can only fire once per trigger pull (no full auto) as can a GBBR again as long as it can only fire semi which covers DMRs which are typically aegs but capable of over 1.3j Your initial statement of 1.3 joules for anything capable of full or semi auto is incorrect, 1.3j only applies to full auto , my GBBRs have a bolt that loads the next projectile by moving and cocking the gun, but they are full auto capable so limited to 1.3j max. The Gas DMR I am building at the moment is internally the same but has a semi only selector so is ok up to the 2.5j although my local site limits DMRs to 1.9j.

Not quite done yet, but L119 A2 GBBR. Building this with my best mate as a tribute to his Son who died suddenly earlier this year. Tom was 15 and intending to join the army and ultimatley try for selection so an L119 seems a fitting tribute and he always liked my A2 aeg. Loads of R/S parts on it , the 552 isn't entirley correct but is good for using in a skirmish. We do have a more correct T2 for it too.
-
Doesn't the 2.5 apply to anything capable of only 1 shot per trigger pull not just to bolt action ? otherwise all those DMR setups are in the poo

Had a great airsoft day today. Low numbers but I like those days, so much more tactical. All the players were in good mood , no issues with hit taking , hard faught games and blowing pumpkins up with pyro, what's not to love 😁 And the GBBR went well all day, infact the cold got to me before it did the to the rifle 🤣
-
Fixed that for ya 😁
-
Lol, I was aiming at an age I havn't quite hit yet !
-
Oldest member of our group is in his 60's . For myself, once my normal style of play starts becoming an effort i'll just snipe more. Sitting alone in a bush not moving and occasionally screaming insults at some young'un not taking hits sounds ideal for a grumpy old git ! Maybe there should be a minimum age requirement for snipers , about 55 sounds right 😉 🤣

Out of the fire; the L119A1 Phoenix rises!
Nick G replied to SBoardley's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
It's a great looking build , and nice to see another 'long' 119 👍 -
is the fire selector one too big or too small ? just get yourself on ebay and order a couple of sizes up or down depending. They will almost certainly be metric so M3 M4 etc

Out of the fire; the L119A1 Phoenix rises!
Nick G replied to SBoardley's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Yep all made in Canada but yes the L119 designation is British use So it's an ExPat Canadian 🤣 -

Nick G replied to SBoardley's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Ah, but it's Canadian. So it's a polite M4 and much less likely to shoot it's own side than those brash gobby american M4s -
Yep it's a laser, I got it for my MP7 but just thought I'd try it on the 226. And yes, it's the WE version Laser went straight on with no issues, although it doesn't fit on my G18 rail very well. Airsoft tolerances I guess

Thank You 😀 Do it ! you know you want to ! 😈

The chap on the L119 owners club on facebook is Bruno Carvalho . Easiest option would be to drop him a PM . Forget how much the set I got cost . They arrived pretty quickly as I recall. He also does a few other 119 bits.

Thanks, it's a bit of a labour of love ! Taken plenty of time to get to that stage, I started from a blank reciever for mine and built from scratch. Yours is getting there, when you can , put some time into it and it'll soon be spot on. Not had any issues with the mag catch at all on the A2 on mine I did the upper mods with miliput and lots of careful sculpting , for the GBBR I'm doing at he moment we have a set of the 3d printed parts to try, it'll be interesting to compare. I didnt find doing it particularly problematic although years of model building may have helped. Had the machining done by LCs engineering. This is a picture they sent of the machined and engraved parts for the A2 GBBR showing the work done. I've pretty much only run my GBBR A1 this year ! take an AEG along on game day and it stays in the bag Lol. The gas guns are very imersive and loads of fun. My A1 is based on a WE M4 and uses quite a few real steel parts. The A2 is getting genuine stock, pistol grip, fore grip buffer tube and mag catch. I tend to run 5 single mags and one double mag for a game and re fill with BBs from a speed loader, get about 2.5 BB loads from a gas fill. Mine runs happily on red gas pretty much all year, certainly in temperatures as low as I'm prepared to go out in ! My gas A1, it's got a more accurate ACOG on it now and the sure fire flash hider as I often run it with the can on for the look of it. Buffer nut is incorrect in that picture but now has a proper one on it . Would love to get a genuine British SF spec KAC rail for it, but they are a bit 'hen's teeth' and hellish expensive when they come up.

My TTI was a boneyard purchase which had a very sloppy slide lock / take down pin. I just fitted a spare one I had in my spares draw (possibly TM but wouldnt swear to it) and all good . Very easy fix.
