Yes and no.
As standard you would need to file the handguard rails, even then it might not fit very well if at all.
Your best bet is to source a Hornbill gas block conversion kit, this gives you a new gas block with a sling loop hole in it and a new part that fits into the reciever so that the RS RIS fits nice and tight.
The kit is $29.99 from Asia, so if you already have the RS RIS in hand or are getting a steal on one then that's your best bet.
Otherwise the entire Hornbill RIS and conversion kit is only $129.99 from the same place, and the Hornbill version is nearly indistinguishable from its RS counterpart.

Re: L85a1/a2... SA80a1/A2
ics deffo will NOT FIT the real ris as the gas block is far to wide and the wrong shape and the brackets on thbody are one solid bit all you can do is get the adaptor amount of small mods will make the real one fit the ics gas block ive been trying to fit a real ris on my star managed to saw off the brackets on the body to fit had to move the gasblock forward on the barrel and cut the ris where the go in the top cover to move the top cover back ..too much work so i just decided to stick it on my G&G in the end as i was never fully happy with it on the star although the G&G is cr*p in everyway and i dont use it

Managed to get the real DD Ris on my ICS with a bit of filing down on the gas block and lower TMH, fits solidly now and has done for a few months

Certainly are some fantastic looking rifles on this topic.
I'm looking at fitting a spectre sight to my ICS L86. Any ideas on where to pick up the rail mount?

Just to let you guys now, from experience STAR / ARES make an incredibly accurate replica.
As far as I can see the only notable difference is the safety selector. Different in design.
Apart from that, the metal, plastic, parts are all nearly identical. Quite impressive really. (Moving parts are different obviously).
Even the SUSAT they make is almost identical.

Re: L85a1/a2... SA80a1/A2
I love both my Star and Ares L85s, I have found though that the green handguard seems rougher than the the real thing. It's not a million miles off, but it feels slightly different and the real furniture seems sturdier too. Not that it bugs me, both mine have real DD systems upfront anyhow and the Ares has the RS green handguard if needed. Still the best replica I have seen by a mile. Held a G&G AFV the other day, it was a good deal and nice bit of kit, but didn't quite seem right - despite how evangelical the G&G fanboys are at the moment, I wasn't persuaded...
