StealthyAirsoft Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Which Is Better Out Of The Box, ICS L85A2 Or Classic Army Scar-H. Thanks For The Responses.
Cameron364 Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 I don't know performance wise but I would rather have a SCAR-H
Supporters Finius Posted July 2, 2011 Supporters Posted July 2, 2011 I've heard way too many horror stories about the L85. Dodgey gearboxes (piston & gears), dodgey compatability Terrible hop Misfeeding and doublefeeding due to the hop being too long or too short Poor mag compatability - only guaranteed to work with ICS mags, and they don't do many mid-caps Electrical contacts in the receiver wearing out Not the RS dimensions Proprietary parts in abundance (tappet, hop, some others), ICS made only. Tend to be average quality at best and fairly expensive Etc. On the other hand, I know for a fact, that when you get one that comes out the box and just works, they're beautiful and they go like tanks. They're finished brilliantly and generally feel like solid kit. But I can't risk it coming out the box a lemon. Longer barrel and that comfy, warm and fuzzy bullpup feel. The SCAR on the other hand isn't much in the way of proprietary stuff, it's an M4 set of internals in a SCAR body essentially. Seems to be fairly reliable simply due to the fact that you can't go wrong with a set of internals so commonly used. Lower lemon rate and no totally bizarre issues or confusing compatability problems to knowledge, but it's just not as nice as the L85 in your hands; too much polymer, not bullpup, not enough warm and fuzzy.
StealthyAirsoft Posted July 2, 2011 Author Posted July 2, 2011 ICS l85a2 its beast I Have Seen You Own One, Whats Your Gun's Range, FPS And Any Other Good Points. Thanks. Thanks Finius, I'm Gonna Try Before I Buy If I Can, I Want A Good Gun So I Am Gonna Take The Risk And Get A Gun Thats Not Just The Same As Everyone Elses.
Supporters M_P Posted July 2, 2011 Supporters Posted July 2, 2011 If you want an l85 get the ares If you want a scar get the vfc Nuff said
StealthyAirsoft Posted July 2, 2011 Author Posted July 2, 2011 Haven't Heard About The Ares, But I Heard Their Internals Are Bad Unless You Upgrade. And I Can't Find A VFC Scar. Also The Amount I Have Heard About The ICS, Which Are Good.
Supporters M_P Posted July 2, 2011 Supporters Posted July 2, 2011 Generally ares are crap, but their l85's are the best available ICS have mixed reviews, but some have terrible hops etc.
skillfulmmd Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 How about the SCAR-L, I really like that and I have heard good things about it.
Supporters Finius Posted July 2, 2011 Supporters Posted July 2, 2011 What you really need....Is an AK I'm only building my M4 because it's gonna be marginally cheaper than rebuilding my old AK...
