2nd one is the one used by our armed forces.

And the 1st one there is the one that's copied by the ACM manufacturers.

It's just the fact that the Specter OS 4x is fixed 4x magnification and the DR is switchable between 1&4x, ironic really as the copies come in DR form but some also have a fixed 4x zoom, easier and cheaper to put it in the same shell though I suppose rather than copy another design just to make a fixed 4x scope.
And like I said its also the fact that the DR appears to be much more widely used.

The last few rifles look awesome - I really was trying not to buy a spectre after setting up my ACOG - they look awesome though, I'm really wavering:/

Re: L85a1/a2... SA80a1/A2

I'd love to see the DR and LDS side by side. Seem to be only slight physical differences? Remove the middle bit, reemove irons, maybe smooth off the sides?

Madbull produced the SA80 RIS Rail so I don't see why someone can't produce this?

Here's my near finished SA80. And yes it is an AA R85. Attached we have the Daniel Defence L85 RIS, TA031, Grip Bipod (Gripod whatever they're called these days) and the Element LLM01. 401354_10150772280597178_688752177_12591143_1426802374_n.jpg402555_10150772280887178_688752177_12591144_1024009324_n.jpg432304_10150772281232178_688752177_12591145_816470902_n.jpg

Is that a suppressor on the L85?? If so, does anyone have any more info?



Also, what is the sniper tape that crops up on the sides of L85's? Like here:



Operation Zamari Sola 2 is a 2 day find, feel, understand and influence operation being conducted by 4 SCOTS, B Company east of Babajai in Helmand Province who will push out to Check Point Khoorashan to conduct their operations.

no it doesn't look like a suppressor, too small.

the sniper tape is apparently to stop the dust getting in to certain components. i did it to my WE L85, look through page 6.

Re: L85a1/a2... SA80a1/A2

First thought was a dust cap, but looked integral. Very odd.

Thanks Tom, I thought as much, it was your pic that made me look!

Re: L85a1/a2... SA80a1/A2

it could be a silencer as it could be the surefire FA556SA its only 4.6 inches long and it fits onto the sa80

[tisane]

All done







Apart from the bloody cocking handle

if it's suppressor then it's not going to do much being that small... the surefire ones are thick and chunky, the ''thing'' in the pic is not.

Tisane - that looks almost exactly like mine!
