British Forces Weaponry

Re: British Forces Weaponry

When I eventually buy my base Ares L85 to go with the parts I've been collecting for a new SA80, I am likely going for the HK A2 decal being screen printed (managed to dissolve 2 of Pan's old transfers when trying to varnish them). I haven't got a quote yet, but I can't imagine it will be so expensive it would make it unfeasable for such a unique and no doubt costly project as your L129. I'd look into it mate, it has the potential to look incrediable.

Re: British Forces Weaponry

Absolutely love it! Is that the SA80 flashider?

Going be a bar steward now...

Need chunkier scope mounts, and a longer RIS :p

Really gives a great impression of the rifle, not sure I could paint mine !

EDIT: This thread is by far and away the best on the forum.

Re: British Forces Weaponry



Yeah I've used the hornbill vortex flash hider for the sa80, the RIS isn't right I know but I figured it'd never be perfect as it should of course be a one piece RIS / upper...
Scope mounts - want to make something up to look like the mounts on the real steel one pictured, it seems to be a big chunky base with the mounts coming from it, anyone know of anything similar in airsoft?

Re: British Forces Weaponry

It's not 1 to 1 but its similar, do a search for SHS 25mm scope mount base short and you'll find it.

Re: British Forces Weaponry

Looks quality, I picked up one of the chunky mounts off eBay for about a tenner!

Re: British Forces Weaponry

Latest addition.....





Have the grip pod for it but I hate the look of them so it's staying off. Waiting for an element LLM01 to arrive to finish it off.

Here's a couple of pics of my L129 yesterday, it performed really well!

Looks incrediable Mike, if it were mine, my heart would be in my mouth painting that, but absolutely fantastic result.

Thanks mate, I'm so pleased with it, was a bit of trial and error but I love it! Was scared to scratch the paint yesterday when playing!!

Re: British Forces Weaponry

you'll have to excuse the poor quality image & the lack of a more picturesque background. TM L96AWS that i sold on here last year. couldn't help but notice the lack of L96's (i know one was put further back) and wanted to get here before a well/worrier L96 gets posted.

Look on the website that shall not be named but all I will say is they sell to lots of kiddies and only have two-tones. now I know it is hell for airsofters but they have a mount that looks VERY similar to the RS one
