Not sure about the size of the rails but you can get the ares like said above or modify the rail wider and fit an ordinary scope a cog or something like that I have the ares lsw and I'm thinking of doing that

19mm Dovetail rail and as previously said, Star/ares SUSAT will fit straight on with no modding required.

Will any sight fit with a 19mm rail?

Re: What susat make will fit onto an ICS l86 LSW?

Probably not as most other sights and rifles etc have a 20mm ris/ras rail.

If you can find a sight that uses a 19mm Dovetail other than a SUSAT then I don't see why not?

That said though, I don't know of any others?

G&G Susats fit ICS

They dont.
G&G susats are 20mm fitment.
They might slide on but without modification will wobble more than a bouncy castle full of kids.

Sorry but thats a load of rubbish, i have a G&G susat sat on my ics l85 right now! No wobble what so ever! Not a micro of movement

And i bought it from the shop you show the quote from, i tryed the ares one and G&G and opted for the latter as it has a little bit better eye relief

Well thats said from my personal experience of buying the wrong one, as well as what that retailer says.

Maybe things have changed since but personaly id rather play it safe

In all fairness I visited the shop and bought it so I wasn't even aware it stated that, but I can 100% safely say that the g&g susat does fit fine

I'm also after an ics, but I've already got the g&g susat (fitted to a g3 at the moment!!) an te bloke I got it off had it on an ics, no problems!

I have a G&G non-illuminated SUSAT mounted on an ICS L86A2 both bought in 2011.

I have heard on some forums and shops that it dosn't fit. G&G have now released an illuminated SUSAT however which might be what their on about and they may have changed but I don't know why they would do that. As then only people with G&G SA80s could use the G&G SUSATs so no one else would buy their SUSATs for other SA80s?

I can comfirm the the G&G L85A2 bought in 2012 I have, the rail is 19.8mm and ICS L86A2 is in fact 18mm. The narrowest part of the G&G SUSAT will tighten down to 16.1mm measured at the clamping plate. The non adjustable part of the base at the widest part is 20mm but as the clamp will fasten down to 16.1mm, so it just slides on and tightens up for me no problems.

Perhaps someone read the spec somewhere and assumed it wouldn't tighten up as the widest part of the dovetail is 20mm but considering the G&G L85A2 I bought in winter 2012 is just under 20mm, I highly doubt the scope designed for it would only tighten to a minimum of 20mm which would only just be brushing the rail when fully tightened.

Ares SUSAT.

I found that the ares susat on my ICS l86 always wobbled
