yeah the mags aint cheap, £36 is the cheapest i have seen, even more expensive are the enclosed ones good point on the molle vest ... ill see what i can find, my problem is i am very specific with my vests, atm my go to is a osprey setup ... now if i could get that in black This is a very good point, i saw a video from RA-tech, the guy gets 59bb's out of 1 mags worth of gas (at 21 degrees), the mag held 43bb's normally. Then again i don't see this gun as a "all day" game gun, for me i see it as a short game say 4 or 5 mags worth, then back to safe zone for refils etc.

so i have had a quick go with one, and ... welll ... i am sooo tempted Just wondering what other peoples thoughts, has anyone hear any bad things? any faults? (other then the bolt retaining thingy) and if i do go with one, anyone know an assault vest that suits MP5's? ... preferably black

I have that very same gun exelent range, good ROF, plenty of rail space. never let me down, and its had some 36000+ bb's through it (and it will be 2 in may ). The only thing i have done to the gun, is clean the barrel and charge the battery

why not a 556, you could then use a rechargeable cr123. there slightly shorter in length then a 552. such as:- http://www.stevesoutdoorwarehouse.co.uk/holographic-hs-556-red--green-dot-sight-black--free-uk-postage-45-p.asp (oops there out of stock atm, but i have bought from here, no issues what so ever! ~EDIT there ebay page says they have them instock so it may be a website thingy eBay item number: 331404189455)

fat ... i got fat this xmas .... well fatter to be more correct i bought myself :- TM desert eagle COD Ghosts camera thingy I did get some money, which i have just used to order me a Madbull DD rail for my G&G L85 ... the only issue is i had to order it from Wolf Armories ... who seem to be the only retailer in the UK who has stock of them (wish me luck )

i am going to be DD'ing my a1, mainly for ergonomic reasons, as i don't get wrist ache with a vertical forgrip, plus it also adds rail space for tac lights etc

G&G also do the A1 The army L85 is supposed to be a clone of the G&G L85. I have just got a complete army gearbox assembly (was only £60 brand new), for a spare ... that said i had to spend an hour getting the trigger contacts right (the was bent over one way, then just needed setting up, maybe a bad set of contacts ) but it fitted in my G&G L85, so while i wait for a different spring again (i dont know why my G&G keeps going over my sites FPS limit ), i am going to be running with the army gearbox

at a guess it would be confiscated ... that said i do remember a few years a guy who was making love to his wife earlier, managed to "subdue" the burglar with his gentleman sausage ... the burglar though the thing poking him in the back was a "loaded weapon"

hmmm never had any issues with LAC myself, that said i haven't been in a while.

so much for me not buying any gas guns

is it a standard gun or has it had the v2/3 conversion? it could be the anti reverse spring in the gear box, that may have broken or it may have become disconnected in some way to be honest its a pretty easy strip down job if it is, there are some video's on you-tube. I am/was in a similar place a while ago with my g&g L85, i bought a none fire'er, which turned out to be trigger contacts, but i did a re-shim/grease job on my gear box, with new piston/piston head etc, sweet as a nut and silent as hell now just fitted the latest flash hider, and hopefully getting DD rails for xmas to bring mine up to the latest spec (minus the acog, as i prefare the current scope i have on mine, see the L85 thread) edit:- i should also add that mine had a madbull barrel which was causing no end of issues(when i got it running), such as cracked bb's etc, so i got hold of a new G&G barrel and hop

2 good site to check out:- slaughter house airsoft (just outside of hull, CQB, semi auto only) Linconshire airsoft (lots of sites)

try the original barrel with the new rubber

have you tried swapping the barrel back to the original one? There *could* be a defect in the new one

Very good easily on par with more eexpensiveguns

sorry i forgot to update this, got the part i ordered Seems ok to me, had the now rare bit i was after

yeah this is very true, but the lack of rail space puts me off ... that said full metal and wood .... i couldn't skirmish that ... too nice

+1 on the combat machine. (i have one great gun) that said consider a cyma CM028, yeah they may be old ... but i am mega impressed with mine

the army L85 is a G&G clone, i bought a G&G 2nd hand so i have a little experience. From what i know, there is 2 issues with the gun. 1)The first one is caused by the PSG1 piston/cylinder, if yours has one, it may be shooting wayy over 350fps, and from my experience it was a bugger to get below 350 for me. There is ways round this, you could do the conversion, whereby you swap the sector gear for a v2/3 item, fit a standard piston with a 10mm spacer between the piston and the piston head and a standard AEG spring. doing this you will lose the pre-cocking though, unless you keep the old sector gear and remove the first 2 teeth off it. my gun had a really bad conversion done, so i re-built my gun. that said i have a new complete gear box on order (see below), as i want to try out the pre-cocking etc. 2) the blow back function. This will at some point break, as how it works is by having plastic prongs going into the spring, and attaching to the fake bolt. most people just disable it, as if it breaks .... well there are 1 or 2 horror stories about jammed and stripped pistons. now the good news ... the gear box is really good and strong, it has a spring release leaver that releases the anti reverse latch, and it has a quick change top end facility (so you could swap the top end for different FPS sites etc). but best of all, you can get a whole new gear box off ebay for less then £60! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-L85-R85-Gearbox-for-G-G-L85-AFV-L85A2-ARMY-R85-R85A1-Airsoft-AEG-/201203795357?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_Paintballing&hash=item2ed8ae459d Don't let this put you off though, as there isn't a perfect L85 out there, they all have there issues. Ares have had a bad reputation for gears being made out of pressed cheese. Avoid STAR as they apparently have plastic gear boxes. ICS can have feed issues (a mate off mine had this with his brand new gun, soo much that he took it back), and at some point may strip its piston (see airsoft Ed's review).

you could always just get a G&G part, direct from G&G, there pretty cheap when i ordered a new barrel for my L85 (i was replacing a after market TBB), and they offered me a large selection to choose from (widths lengths and finishes etc)

i have a thing for old pulteney, straight ... but if i am honest i am drinking Russian standard vodka these days, 50/50 with water (zero hangover usually) i do like a captains Morgans spiced ... with any thing

but its what he has ...

why not SR15?
