Happy days...

[gavinkempsell]

Was watching one of Rifleman Moore's YT videos' when I had an urge to muck about with my Ares L1A1,

 

F^*K ME... I'd totally forgotten it was an airsoft rif, I'd convinced myself it was a replica.

 

Guess what's getting sighted in & crono'd tomorrow after work???

[EDcase]

Yeah, mine works really well.

I tend to prefer shorter arms but its cool to use the L1A1 sometimes

[Colin Allen]

Mine gets a regular run out; it works well now that I have reworked the internals, including modifying a standard steel COL to replace the original soft cheese one.

I'm not planning on using it at a game day but I'd prob wear my pattern 58 if I did.

Just don't let the 58 pattern webbing get wet!

Lol... my thoughts exactly, it's a difficult enough day lugging lightweight webbing around.

Still recovering from finding out the hard way!  Mind you, I started off with 37 pattern.

Well just had a 'play' with it & it's a tad over powered for my local site, it ranges from 421 - 450 fps... just as well it's a semi auto.

[EDcase]

That perfect for a DMR as long as its locked to semi only

As far as I can see it's only semi.

[Colin Allen]

It is locked to semi unless you buy the full auto selector.

Or undo the back pin, slightly lift the upper up and turn the selector switch fully 🤭

Yes, that does the job as well.
