Nope no tactical toes, maybe some tactical blood, sweat but not so much tears though

Presume she likes to utilise two different grip positions depending on the situation? Given the presence of the 2 LaRue hand-stops that is.

 

[Nutster]

Not entirely, her hand fits between the two with the one mounted on the side sitting between her thumb and fingers, gives a nice solid grip

EDIT

Like this (not my image)

Yeah, I've seen that grip style used with the horizontally mounted handstop quite a lot. I'd just presumed that the users hand wouldn't interact with another stop placed in the position you've got that second one in.

I've never tried anything along those lines myself though so I purely asked out of conjectured interest.

 

[Nutster]

Ah fair enough. Used together they simply 'wedge' your hand there, it cant go forward and it cant go back, just makes gripping easier for her

 

[Ditch]

Yeah its two toned, but I'm not too bothered for my first few games, just the lower will go olive drab once I get my UKRA. Other than that its exceeded what I thought so far.

True that, fixed the right hand charging handle as it was loose but its been sweet as a nut. Need some midcaps for it though.

I figured there's probably enough rifles out there now which follow the new standard and I'm also really not a fan of Grip-Pods, so I thought I'd keep to the legacy colour for plastic furniture on L85s. I find the RVG works brilliantly on there I have to say.

looks good mate. thinking about the L85 for myself. might just have to steal yours instead haha

@Remsoft: mmm... PSG-1, did you sort out the problem with it?

From my cold dead hands!

Honestly, I'll probably have some kind of coronary episode if I try and run around too much with that thing come summer time.

Thanks. If you're referring to the white writing, that's just the NSN for that sling. It's an issue item, but I've no idea who it was ever issued to, I've only ever seen the normal green ones used (both in work and from pictures online).

damn chris you're good at gun photography

Yes, was the motor height. Moral: Never overlook the tiny screws...

sorry if this has been asked but where did you get your l85 chris

Heh, well I'm alright now, you should see some of my early efforts. It's taken me around 1000 pictures worth of practice to get to where I am, and that's just of weapons, doesn't include gear, loadouts or anything else non-airsoft. I'm also quite lucky in terms of having access to a decent, fairly modern camera.

The basic keys to good photos are getting outside, finding a nice, uncluttered natural background and time it so you've got good clean sunlight. Even with a phone camera you can get decent snaps if you follow those simple rules, the problem people have is they too often use the light from average house-hold lightbulbs, combine that with flash and a phone camera and it's hard to make the end result look good.

As I always say, even a cheap, battered gun can look amazing with the right photography. It's easy to make a £2000 rifle look cack in a bad photo though.

Nice work, impressive for a first effort, keep it up.

Can't remember if I'm entirely honest, I purchased that on a pre-order back in '08 when the ICS very first came out. I think fire-support have some stock in, they're my favourite retailer for RIFs in the UK.
