Some people make fun of us because our original L85 weapon system was so bad that we had to get Germans to upgrade it and fix it. And moreover, to enable modern accessories, get Americans to develop a rail system for it. But I see it this way.... We now have an incredibly accurate and deadly assault rifle and our troops are dying less for it, so really why complain lol?

But... Will it blend ?

@stupidismymiddlename you right laour must of been really bad because the torys could not even get a majority even though david chameleon pretended to be a soft tory-not to mention it was maggie thatchers fault anyway in the long term because it was her that completely let the banks do whatever they liked with our cash, i i suppose its labour fault because david cameron would of done the exact same to bail out the banks not to mention the problems came from america-dont trust the papers

@TheJaaysog

The countery is down the toilet because Labour had the worst accountants in history, not the Conservatives (although I would never trust any politician).

...Oh and the dinghy's got a puncture so thats gone :)

The rifle Larry is using is an A1, but we use the A2 now, miles better.

@theRealAnonymousRain we really should use the HK16 in my opinion, but because of our glorious conservative government our military exists of one land rover, a dingy and a biplane now.

any chance they make them for leftys now?

[mortaljorgeguy]

@MadmanDKDK yes........ yes indeed.

My question is if I as a U.S. citizen build an L85 semi auto "clone" using the same exact specifications and BATFE approval would Daniel Defense allow me to buy the rail system for my approved rifle ?

@theRealAnonymousRain Why complain? Is the L85 left-hand compatible?

@petbedding01 hey the a2s only problem was you could use it as a water flask in wet conditions it never ever had the sa80s problems ,take a look at Ausi troops in vietnam and english troops in borneo ,you cant tell the diff in uniform guns(we got our first batch of M16s from you guys in borneo and you used our slr's in borneo) and then fast forward to sa80 ,not one folliowed you ,and the guy who chose the stuyer was an english NCO who said enfield shoud not be stamped on it.

@MrFattyfatfatboy Beacause the SAS use the L119A1 as did the SFSG although more recently the SFSG have been seen using the L85. The L85A2 upgrade saw a new cocking handle, and a revised safety catch was incorporated shortly after. Since then and now its being deployed with ACOG, EMAG magazines and foregrips its received good feedback from troops using it. Granted the L85a1 was one of the worst weapons fielded in combat but I don't think you could say the same of the a2.
