L85a2 help

[sp00n]

I heard they're more reliable than the G&G

once you do the standard AEG piston/sector gear mod, they are as reliable as any other AEG. and that mod is only advisable if you don't want the pre-cocking feature or you want a high speed setup

Hop unit needed some love to get the trajectory down, wire crimps snapped at the motor connection (bit of solder fixed it) gearbox locked up and blew the fuse (my own fault really)

Like i said, nothing difficult and nothing that cant be fixed with simple tools and a bit of TLC

Sounds alot of work to keep gun at its best

All said, ive probably spent more time cleaning my two gas guns after each game (a 20 minute job per day) than i have fixing my aeg, and ive owned the AEG over a month longer than even my oldest gas gun.

I dont think any of the problems ive had would be too dificult for anyone, and the short time i spent tinkering taught me alot about how my gun works, and if it should ever break down, ill have some knowledge to help fix it.

I wont lie if you are nervous about tinkering, there are more reliable guns out there, but that doesnt make the ics unreliable, it just has its strengths elsewhere.

And as said earlier, a gas gun (pistols aside) isnt a great first gun. As fun as they are (im a convert myself) they are much more work and less practical.

I have the G&G L85. No real problems. I've disabled blow back feature as it can ruin the piston. I'm currently trying to sort the semi auto lock up issue which seems to be a problem on all l85s, although it's not a huge issue for me. The gun has a split gear box and is incredibly easy to open and work on even for me. It has a really nice range and accuracy and I haven't even done any real modifications yet.

Hopefully this is a good place to ask, I got an L85A2.

I was speaking with Ed yesterday and I realised that the motor did not have any ICS Turbo 3000 markings on it.

I got it from zero one and am waiting for them to open up to give them a ring on Monday, but before I do so, has anyone come across this?

This gun was bought as New, so there should have been no mods.

Mine was bought second hand but the motor is stock.

Thanks

So if the motor is stock, it seems some ICS Turbo 3000 come without stickers.

... one week until I skirmish this gun for the first time!
