magazine compatibility?

[Richie Boyle]

I am struggling to source L85 midcaps (AEG) but I have been advised that M4 mags will fit. Can anyone confirm or dispute this?

L85, FAMAS, SCAR -L, FN2000 and the huge multitude of M4 variants all have one thing in common in the real and Airsoft world.

 

They all use STANAG magazines:

So yes if your L85 was made by either one of the big brand Airsoft companies chances are its TM compatible so a decent midcap mag from say G&G will fit nicely.

no probs mate, its a common mistake.

 

Its likley down to the fact that it was the first AEG manny moons ago, back then FA-MAS's where not stanag compatible, that said i did find a post on another forum, where you could mod a stanag to fitt, it wasn't pretty mind.

I've just ordered myself a JG 608-KV (G36 variant) am I right in thinking M4 mags will fit this too? Or am I best to get G36 mags to be safe?

[proffrink]

It's a different mag, but there are adaptors out there so you can take the STANAG style and others. G36 magazines are fairly unique.

[MrPondlife]

Thanks for that. I'll see if I can find some adapters

Word of warning: They're ugly as hell.

And most of them don't work properly.

 

Just get G36 mags.

[proffrink]

Agreed. G36 mags are pretty sexy anyway.

Oh dear, won't be getting one of those then....G36 mags it is. Found some on Amazon for £11 with free delivery so not too bad.

Ummmmm

 

As a g36c owner, I use the m4 mag adapter with m4 mags & so far I've had no issues

 

I use king arms mags in all my rifles just because when I use the G36, I don't have to have separate mags
