Re: l85 makes

New players/ Advice section would probably suit this question best.

Star/ Ares or ICS

Re: l85 makes

[Panoptes]

Re: l85 makes

Awesome. Fiddly to strip but awesome in every other respect.

[chris wheeler]

Re: l85 makes

so outta the ares, g&g and ics what would you say?

cheers

[Panoptes]

Re: l85 makes

ARES for me by a mile but others say ICS for ease of stripping. I have seen the ICS version. My eyes... they burn.

Not seen the G&G but it has good reviews so I hear.

[tisane]

It depends what exactly your looking for out of them realy.
As pan will tell you im sure the ICS isnt the most acurate replica but is a piece of pi$$ to work on.

See i told you...lol

Re: l85 makes

lol i want range

cheers

[Panoptes]

Re: l85 makes

Both ARES and ICS are good for range. Not heard a bad thing about either, performance-wise.

Re: l85 makes

Yeah go Star/ Ares (metal gearboxed model).

Range = Hop rubber and nub combo.

Re: l85 makes

Yes mate.

Just take a look at this video. Forget it being an LSW, in essence they're the same.

Yup. Contact the vendor about the gearbox first though. A few did apparently slip through with polycarbonate gearboxes (not that they were bad) but they've likely all sold now so you should be good.

And now, some gun porn...
