      I'm not entirely sure what was printed but I think it was only the new handguard. They may well have been put on Airsoft rifles to make it easier to film.

    I love my G&G L85 ETUs - I own three at this point.
    My two complaints are the stock shimming which is horrendous and the trigger that is way too light. I'd rather have a more realistic trigger, otherwise it's great

    Have anyone found the ideal volume ratio between barrel and the stock cylinder? I'm getting a bucking, nub and barrel upgrade for mine but I'm unsure of which barrel length and diameter I should pick.

    Hi, I'm very new to the channel, and indeed quite a noob to airsoft - I bought a couple of guns more than 10 years ago, but have just come back to it after many years. I've always been an SA-80 fan boy since I was a kid (back when there was just the 4.85mm version!) and so if I buy a new gun now it'll be some version of the L85. You seem to be an L85 expert so I'd love some advice!
    Which manufacturer / version would you recommend?
    It seems you like your G&G very much, but is the ICS or ARES a better choice? I've got one of my guns in bits trying to fix a feed issue, but I'm not really wanting to spend tinkering time, I just want to play it 'out of the box'. My local site runs a 350fps limit.

      I've actually found there's a video on this site, a conclusions video to a livestream, and kiwi and some other chap who's name I've forgotten day the G&G is the best gun out of the box. 👍

    • @EnglishKiwi
      @EnglishKiwi  3 роки тому +2

      As arcticFrenzy said the g&g etu is my suggestion for out of the box and go. Overall it's a great performer. The only thing that's changed since the which sa80 livestream is ares new A3(ish) release. While it looks impressive and has a good spec sheet, I've hard and witnessed first hand them breaking very quickly!

    Would it be possible to put a an SR-25 gear set in + long piston combo, and correct any potential voluming issues with heavy bb’s?
    Looking at picking one up soon!

    • @EnglishKiwi
      @EnglishKiwi  2 роки тому +1

      You could do as the original design used the sr25 cylinder, gearset and piston. Though I've found it easier to just shorten the inner barrel to sort voluming issues and keep the standard piston setup.

    Hi dude. Great video glad I've stumbled across this. I've had my L85A2 ETU 2 weeks. Done a complete strip down, disabled blow back. Still yet to put it back together. Should there be a spring between trigger leavers on the side of the gear box please. Also can I have a link to the recommended mosfet as I have a red light on mine and doesn't want to do full auto sometimes 🤔

      Yes it does, I can fit a 1300 11.1 vapex stick in mine. You need to knock the cross pin out then the flash hider should slide off. Sometimes the glue it a bit, so a bit of heat can help loosen it :)

      any metal style mags should fit and work. Polymer ones are a bit more picky, most tend to need a bit of filing to fit and feed. Have a look at my £5 mag video, I discuss it there.
