As you can see i got a scar and its soooooo awkward with the stock in. Its a nice idea but odd to hold.

Hey, it's actually pretty sexy! I thought it'd look terrible with an EoTech on it, which model is that one? Might have to get one for mine for night games.
Cheers Ed!
I've had a bit of flak from some purists elsewhere, so it's refreshing to have a response other than "HERESY! Burn it" :lol:
Aye, it's a 551 EOtech. I've tried a 552 before - personally (if you or anyone else considers EOtech'ing any kind of SA80), I'd avoid the 552, as it's too big. Just too long, it looks really weird.

Yeah, I don't think the 552 looks right on anything. My mate has one on an M249 and it's the same size as the entire receiver. Really doesn't look right.
But yeah, I'd generally consider myself an L85 purist in terms of it having to look "military issue" so either SUSAT/Irons + original green furniture. Or new with RIS and all the other gucci bits like mine.
If it isn't in one of those two configurations, I generally dislike it. Like CKs from a few pages back... Stubby fore grip, Spectre and those rail covers he had? Eurgh no.
But with an EOTech it actually looks quite good. If Arma2 is to be believed, then they are actually used for night ops as well. Since you can't use an ACOG/Spectre/SUSAT with NV gear.

If you were sick of seeing the damn things every single day, would you exactly copy the real setup?

Well, I'm fairly familiar with the controls & overall ergonomics/balance for starters. I think that in terms of features like the safety/selector, the optics mounting, trigger setup etc it's the best bullpup available in airsoft for my needs, and I think bullpups in general are great.
However, the MoD's choice of foregrip and rail covers are inferior when it comes to my personal desires when on the skirmish field, and I really don't like the aesthetics of the grip-pod/ladder covers combo myself. I've grown accustomed to it, but if I had the choice when I deployed I wouldn't use the issued 20mm accessories. The same as I personally wouldn't use the issue MOLLE pouches/uniform/holster/helmet/PC....

Fair enough. I guess it's one of those paradoxical things. You're in the forces but don't want to look it on the skirmish field. I'm not in the forces, but do want to look it on the skirmish field.
This girl that came to take photos last time I went out was convinced I was either current or ex-forces. Also thought I was at least 26! :blink:
Don't know whether to be flattered or bewildered haha.
