daltonwilliams Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Anybody know where the best place is to buy an L1A1/FN FAL AEG? Seen a few but they seem to be out of stock most places, also one thing I have noticed is there doesn't seem to be too many different ones on the market. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strykerles Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 patrolbase has a few versions but out of stock found this one but it's pricey https://airsoftdirect.uk.com/product/ares-l1a1-slr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asomodai Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The Ares one if pretty terrible in terms of trigger and weak gearbox design. As in, cracks in the front of the gearbox within a few skirmishes type weak. The King Arms one is considered to be infinitely better. Not alot of King Arms one out there as they were fairly limited run. If your Italian is any good then there is one available here. https://www.softair-italia.it/l1a1-type-king-arms-p-1024.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strykerles Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 could also look for a SA-58 as I believe they are a copy of the FAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all there's to know In fairness that seems to be the cheapest one around as well (not that I want to specifically cheap out but if a deals there I’m taking it). I wasn’t aware that it’s rare in airsoft form, trust me to be like “oh that L1A1 would be nice to have” 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Oh yeah, if it's cheaper and in stock definitely go for it. Just let me know if something goes wrong takes only 40 minutes to drive there with a can of fuel and a lighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The Ares is a good shooter, if you can find one go for it. Just because one guy doesn't like em doesn't mean they're crap 😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokai Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 One in at Dave's: https://www.davescustomairsoft.co.uk/AresL1A1SLR?search=L1a1 Or if you fancy a custom built one of a kind L2A1...... https://www.davescustomairsoft.co.uk/Ares-DCA-L2A1-LMG?search=L2a1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 It's more like quirky proprietary parts, to be fair. If they break and the gun isn't as popular (low amount of spares available) then you're kinda screwed if one of those parts shits the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerDer Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 There was supposed to be a re-release by king Arms of their FAL series. Was meant to be the latter half of this year, that was pre Covid though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 It's a matter of being economically worth. If a gun is uncommon (there's not enough demand to justify continuous production) it's unlikely that it'll ever be produced again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I can't imagine the G3 being more popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerDer Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 That's true, the G3 is well served. CA and LCT have plenty of variants. See that LCT is bringing out a line of HK33s. Perhaps the VFC FAL will encourage some AEG based models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkee Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Fire Support have one or two. I never had any bother with my Ares one, shot nicely enough. The KA one is due a rerelease and VFC are doing a GBBR FAL soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeFrag.UK Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I'd be of the inclination to wait for King Arms to re-release theirs. The L1A1 platform and the FN FAL definitely look like they could be a lot fun although I wouldn't want to be stuck in CQB with one. 😂 On a personal note, I wish LCT would release the G3KA4 although in saying this I also wish the prices would drop back down to pre-Nuprol levels of interference. Or at least see bit of a price reduction to the point where it was a middle ground between how it used to be and now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armo1000 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Wait a few months as King Arms are finally re releasing their L1A1s to modern specs i believe. These were always considered the best and also were the cheapest of the FAL series of riles so i would wait and go for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerDer Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Was looking at King Arm's social media presence (partly due to this thread) and they stated that the re-release would be the end of 2020. Might be a useful to someone. Will be putting aside some cash for one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
