Hi, my name is dan and I'm from Sevenoaks (kent) I've been to a few skirmishes and am now looking for my 1st aeg.

I have a 300 odd pound budget for a rifle not including accessories. I've been eyeing up G&G t4-18 (416) and ics l85a2.

I must admit I do love an l85 and have read all l85 threads on here.. But I can't seem to find a good honest written G&G 416 review with good and bad points.

Dan.

 
I'm not your man for a 416 review, but welcome to the forums anywat :)

 
Just putting the feelers out there :) thanks for the welcome buddy.

Just out of interest are there many people from kent on ere?

Dan

Yes Ive got one - now cosmetically modded with optics, suppressor and grenade launcher but internally original.

Nice gun. Found RIS rail a bit uncomfortable on the fore hand but that is 416/417s for you. Easy to add a foregrip..

The only criticism I have is that the stock wobbles a little as it is extendable in preset positions, but its acceptable.

Fires well with a 7.4V LiPO in the stock - hard to put the stock to the shortest position because of the battery inside.

 
theres a few kent players on here. im one. do you specificly want a G&G one not a VFC one???

I've heard the VFC one is only good for trades/cosmetics and the G&G wins on range/accuracy and there's 100quid difference.

Ideally I want the hasstle free one haa but was thinking of saving the 100 quid and spending it on mags ect. I do still love the l85 but I hear problems with the trigger. Am I being too picky?

Dan

 
have you watched eds video review of his l85?? quite informative and he does cover the trigger problems. i like VFC they feel really solid and i dont mind upgrading shiz

 
Yeh I follow ed on YouTube and fb. He seems to just dominate in his videos lol. I do like the VFC, I just don't know if I can justify 400 on it. I'll have to get a batt, charger and a few mags. I think that's another reason the l85 is appealing as it includes two mags.

I want a good all rounder out the box really :) where abouts do you play on kent?

Dan

 
well theres some good ics L85s for sale on the forum. go for one of them. saves buying the ris rails and stuff. i play at shadow opz in dover and cool under fire in doddington. got friends that go to battle lakes as well.

 
I've been to elite battle zone; the chattenden barracks site in Rochester. But I can't do Sundays so I'm kinda limited to Saturday games! :( btw I live in Sevenoaks.

Ive had a look at the 85's. And have been tempted! Very tempted. I wouldn't want a molested one as I wouldn't know where to start if it was to go wrong lol. I'm all for saving money tho!!

What guns are you running?

Dan

 
I run a VFC SR 16, i really like it. looks awesome and i usually run it on semi as i only do mid caps. its broke at the mo as i dropped it kinda hard lol. i also have a Cyma Glock 18c AEP.

gonna be building a DMR soon tho. either on a HK 417, M27 or a M14
