L85A1 manufacturer?

[Richie Boyle]

airsoftworld recommended avoiding G&G due to gearbox issues and told me to get the ICS version

landwarrior recommend against the ICS

 

which way should i go?

[Sitting Duck]

ICS I think or l85 army armament for lot less if on budget

 

think you got those 3 and it isn't any easy choice

G&G does have its problems with blowback

ICS - non blowback but many say is the nutz

Army - cheapo version with blowback - some parts are common but a few are not

 

well that is my noobish bit of input

 

also available: Ares L85A2 - blowback

L85A1 or A2? The G&G, ICS and Ares ones are models of the A2, the Army Armament or Star one is an L85A1.

i dont want an A2 or blowback. bog standard AEG to use as a main weapon with a choice of GBB, AEP or springer as back up weapon.

 

the L85A1 is to go with my loadout which is what i was equipped with. i never used the L85A2 (which is just a modified L85A1) so i dont want one

[Richie Boyle]

i may be stuck with blowback but i can always disable it apparently

i realise the picture is L85A2 but they have both versions on their website

ICS make the best L85 AFAIK. I'm pretty sure most people with one have the ICS. If you're set on an A1 variant that's your only choice then I guess.
