G&G/ARMY L85 Ris Rail Information

[Mearcat]

I own an ARMY L85 of which I have a custom built 4600mah battery in the standard handguard that needs replacing. I am thinking about updating to a Lipo battery but I need some information regarding the rail unit so I can search for a battery that will fit in the available space as I plan on getting one in the future. I am aware that Lipo's will be the battery type to fit.
Also I would like to stay away from the battery box/PEQ routine as I have tried that on another rifle and don't want to repeat it.

I would like to ask if any member that has the RIS unit, if they could supply me with the measurements in, mm, as shown in the simple diagram along with the length from back edge to the gas block.

I have searched everywhere for this information to no avail.

Managed easily to fit a WE Lipo 7.2 in the space with the fuse still in place.
I take it you are going to fit a Daniel Defence rail. My L85 is an ICS but should matter not.

And thanks for a proper drawing. Will measure if no one beats me to it.
But what I did was nip down to my local friendly Airsoft retailer and ask wether I could 'play' very carefully with some lipos.

Plan too, but need to get the batteries first.

It won't matter as I think the only difference is the barrel adaptor that mounts near the trigger (don't know for sure as I haven't got one yet).

Thanks, I do like doing things properly. IF you could I would be very much appreciate them.

I would try this but my local is 40 miles away and they have rarely got one in stock.

I prefer to use large mah batteries so I don't have to keep swapping the battery mid game. As stated above, I have a 4600mah Nimh currently linked to a mosfet, which lasts for an entire all-weekender with heavy 2-5 rd bursting on 1 recharge and still takes 5 hours to discharge the remainder once at home. If possible I am trying to match this or get 2 where both will fit in the RIS lasting for a day each.

As most lipo's tend to be towards the low mah rating, but more efficient, I need to know whether to plan for 1 large lipo or 2 smaller lipo's.

I prefer to have the measurements rather than battery suggestions (no offence to those that have got ones fitted already) as I am a bit of a perfectionist.
This will allow me to get the batteries first which, are cheaper, definitely fit in the standard handguard and allow me to keep playing whilst I save for the RIS. Then once the RIS is mine (maaawwwwaahhh) the batteries should drop straight in, no missed games waiting for parts.

Dimension 1 is 24mm, dim 2 is 25mm, dim 3 is 47mm, dim 4 is 10mm.
The bottom ris also has a 10mm channel, giving a dimension of 32mm to the barrel.
Hope this helps.

Wonderful Viper Scout thanks.
