G&G Daniel Defence L85

[Killaway]

Hi, new to airsoft and picked up an L85A2. 

I've got the adapter block I'll need for the Defence Rail, however, because I bought the rail second hand there is no screw with it.  The ICS Defence rail seems impossible to get hold of, so just wondering if I was to buy a new Defence rail (G&G variant) would this come with the screw I'll need to fit it to my ICS rifle? 

 

Really hope so because I've bought one lol. Had a nightmare trying to find a screw for the rail (which is literally all I need is the screw to go into the bottom of the adapter block) 

 

Any help would be much appreciated

Dunno,

Id be calling the retailers and asking them to open the package for me to confirm before I ordered it.

Can you not just measure what “screw” you need ?

I asked the retailers but they just said it comes with numerous fittings lol it's also coming from Canada because I couldn't find anywhere over here (UK) with one in stock. 

 

Probably be the cheaper and quicker option Jim yea, I'm gunna go to screwfix at weekend and see if they can sort me with one. But now I have another rail on the way anyway lol

any pictures of where it needs to go ? An approximate diameter of the hole and length of screw / bolt and I’ll see if I’ve got anything that may help you out .

Thanks mate. Soon as I'm home I'll send a picture over.

So, that's the rail and block and I would say screw needs to be about 5/6mm diameter and about 2.5/2.6cm in length. 

[JimFromHorsham]

So an M5 or M6 bolt at 25mm would be the first choice to try imo .

 

im happy to have a rummage later and if I’ve got anything suitable I’ll pop them in the post for you if you like ?

had a quick rummage , I’ve only got up to M5 here and only up the 20mm thread length , I’d happily stick a couple in the post for you but looking at your pics I think too short if you want it to go all the way through the block ?

Looks like they only go upto 20mm too though and I'm thinking it will be too short?

There is 20 x 30mm m5 bad boys in there ?

Easy enough to trim them down to your 25mm.

Finally got it sorted! 

 

Got an M6 from screwfix and just needed to grind it down a bit, clean it up and it went straight in perfectly. Happy now that's finally sorted! 

 

Thanks for the help
