Richie Boyle Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I am struggling to source L85 midcaps (AEG) but I have been advised that M4 mags will fit. Can anyone confirm or dispute this?
Supporters Shizbazki Posted August 14, 2015 Supporters Posted August 14, 2015 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: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STANAG_magazine 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. see here: http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?cPath=272_327_443&products_id=9153 proffrink 1

Supporters sp00n Posted August 14, 2015 Supporters Posted August 14, 2015 Whoops It was late and the real one does, must have been confused lol 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.
MrPondlife Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 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?
Root Admin proffrink Posted September 1, 2015 Root Admin Posted September 1, 2015 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 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks for that. I'll see if I can find some adapters proffrink 1

Root Admin proffrink Posted September 1, 2015 Root Admin Posted September 1, 2015 Agreed. G36 mags are pretty sexy anyway.
MrPondlife Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 And most of them don't work properly. Just get G36 mags. 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.
n1ckh Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 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 MrPondlife 1
