jagdthetiger Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hello all long story short, putting a shopping list together to convert an L85 to run on HPA. I want to maintain the blowback aspect of the gun, and was looking at the alyan V3 conversion kit, but they are no longer accepting orders. does anyone know any way to do this conversion? preferably without dropping a tonne of money, or converting the magazine to use a HPA line (need them hi cap mags) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjhirst Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Doesn't the L85 take m4 mags? How about an armourer works drum mag, tapped for hpa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjhirst Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I used to convert we mags to hpa, as have several others on the WE owners facebook group (i think thats what it was!) It can be a bit of trial and error, but theres 2 ways of doing it: 1: stripping down the inside of the original mag and pairing it with a cut down hi cap mag. Then fitting a hpa valve inside. 2: A double stack mag. Keep the original gas mag and modify a hi cap mag to feed into it from the side. I've not heard very good things about Alyan's hi caps, but perhaps theyve improved over time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagdthetiger Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 yeah once again, avoiding magazine mods. they either limit capacity, or become uncomfortable with bullpups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
