Any idea how to make an A2 style magazine release guard for an A1 rifle?

Re: L85a1/a2... SA80a1/A2

Re: L85a1/a2... SA80a1/A2

Heres mine as it is now. Have ordered the correct acog and already have the acog riser so just waiting on that to be delivered.

Only need to get the doc sight, wings & flashider. Will get there one day lol it feels like its taking an age to get it how i want it :P




**Edit**

Forgot i need dual windowed emags too lol

Re: L85a1/a2... SA80a1/A2

So now I sold on my acog and replaced it with the Specter DR...
But is it ever actually going to replace the Acog?
As I understand, the acog is a short term fix while we move from susat to the Elcan but I'm not hearing anything about the Elcan coming in to service??

Its phasing in for sure

4 Rifles are the first infantry battalion to be issued with them





Pictures were taken a few weeks ago in kenya

Re: L85a1/a2... SA80a1/A2

Nice one mate, cheers for that.
Good old Kenya, I was there on exercise for 7 weeks back in 2005.... Or was it 2006? Good fun.

Re: L85a1/a2... SA80a1/A2

Ok next question .... You see the rail mounts fitted to the rifle there for the specter... Is there an airsoft version available does anyone know?
I've currently got a normal 20mm rail riser fitted which does the job but doesn't look quite right!

Re: L85a1/a2... SA80a1/A2

EDIT

the one i just linked is the standard rail adapter. As far as i know this is the only part to do the job at the min

The one fitted above is longer, thats the only difference i can tell, you could get 2 of the standard adapters and marry them together somehow

Yeah that might be an idea, but even those are a nightmare to find

Believe me though, it's satisfying when you do, mines not quite there yet, just the FH and two window emags left, but they are details and can be sorted when I haven't just blown a fortnights salary on the basis of a L119 - still prefer my 80 though...

Re: L85a1/a2... SA80a1/A2

i know it seems like a big money pit at the min but i am looking forward to seeing it in all its glory :D

Should i artificially weather my L85 or should i let it wear naturally (as was the plan)

I dont really want to "weather" it but it looks too new i think?
