My replacement charging handle has arrived, has anyone seen a disassembly video for the A3? It's certainly built differently to the A2 & I don't want to feck it up trying to replace a bit that broke so easily.

Yes, & thanks for the link & info. Was hoping they issued full sized 90ltr bergans but suspected the covers were they only option Thanks, I'm always on the lookout for kit that interests me, looking for British issued kit mainly but have a set of alice to widen the gene pool. Gavin.

A stupid amount of Osprey MkIV body armour,including pelvec protection (for Sat nights only). I'll not be buying the hard armour plates for this but did buy front & back body inserts (the extremeties will need to settle for cut up roll mat). I treated myself to a cheapo rifle case too as the bergan I used at my last/first skirmish was a bit bulky & awkward.

TBH, I wouldn't mess with him, can't have refused all promotions coz he has stripes in the first pic.

I've turned into a born again collector of military 'stuff' which includes some uniform, webbing & bergans but for the life of me I can't find a British Army issued DDPM bergan, They must exist as I have side pouches for one but can only find DDPM covers. I can't even find any info on them... am I looking in the wrong places or am I trying to find a left handed unicorn? Help please????

There's one listed in the classifieds

For those that need to know, the ICS [ML 15] L85/86 charging handle set is available to buy, I just bought one for £16 + postage £4.50. Looks like I bought the last one from FireSupport but plenty other sites sell them (most out of stock just now) Edit... this isn't for the L85A3, just tried to swop it out & it's totally wrong, looks like it's correct for the A2 tho.

How the hell can you tell? serious question.

snipers tape I hope to at least pretend it's 'upgraded'? Tut, tut... giving us jocks a bad name.

Pretty sure it was solid before I took it down from the wall, and it's always been on a longer rail like seen in the pic It's not a BB, but fitting for the handle is the same & same lever (except for the fake insert) I loves my Bullpups & love the SA80 so try and get a version of each model, on the lookout for a Daniel defence rail A2 & a UGL for it.

Here's a slightly better pic, realised my LSW was hidden & I had room to move them down. I was going to take apart my Carbine to see how it's fitted to see if I can repair it but would 100% botch it so I'l try and be patient. Saw a Youtuber testing an ICS L85A2 and he had the exact same fault, cocking lever fell off due to the blow back action.

Has literally sat here 99% of the time, took it down to check the power of the 7.4 lipo's I've previously mentioned and noticed it wobble then it dropped off (still not a euphemism)

Never mind all this technical stuff... My cocking lever fell off & It's never even left my Mancave(not a euphemism).

thanks, that was my first thought.

What is the mag 'extension' for please?

Apart from being cheaper I thought it was best till I was more experienced.

Pfft, my L86 has never worked since I tightened the spring, sure I nipped a wire putting back together.

I'm sure 11.1 is recommended but 7.4's is all I could find in the right size, I bought an 11.1 but was too big for the grip. so got the 7.4's

Fits in the grip but 7.4's

First skirmish EVER at Players of War Airsoft near Falkirk, knackered beyond belief is an understatement (I'll blame the sun coz my weight & age can't possibly be the reason), I'm in awe of how many players were wearing the latest kit & using incredible RIF's (I wore what I could find in my size & used an old set of PLCE incase It got damaged or I didn't want to go back), The milsim players were so impressive too. As suspected I had too much weight on my plce (pouches & contents), had too many lipo's & mags (had to use my high caps), but everyone I spoke to was great, & thanks... the offer of a chip was much appreciated. Was already signed up for the 18th & now signed up for the 2nd July too (work most Sundays so will play when I can). What would I change for next time...? Well I have some MTP uniform & a stupid amount of Osprey kit already on order courtesy of ebay & a credit card. Might give my G36c a try next time but the SCAR I took performed better than I expected (proud to say I killed several trees today). Will take some of my Bullpups in the future but none are 2 toned so that will have to wait for now. I feel I'm more of a collector than a player but on my drive home I wondered if the STEN was still for sale on here as the SCAR mag did get in the way a couple of times & it would make a nice addition to my collection, Oh! maybe an Sterling SMG? (if that unicorn ever flies my way). Thanks again to everyone at Players of War Airsoft for a fantastic experience.

Thanks for the replies folks, I've packed some extra lipo's just in case.
