My pride and joy. Currently she shoots right at 560fps with .25s, the upper limit for the state in which I play, South Carolina. My L85 is the hardest shooting replica on our fields, and as such I have gone out of my way to have special permission from all the admin of the state and the local field admins to double check that they are ok with having a gun shooting as hot as mine does. As such, I have taken a special 150ft MED. I have been around long enough, and have proven myself that they have no problems with my gun shooting so close to the limit.

The consistency is +/-.5 fps (that's half of one fps). And like I said in my introduction post, I am able to make body shots at 400ft if the need ever arises. Currently, my furthest measured and confirmed "kill" is just under 300ft.

Internally, I've kept the elongated piston in favor of the larger amount of air, and I have kept the precocking, allowing for instantaneous trigger response.

As for upgrades internally:
G&G Special Nylon Co-Alloy 18 tooth piston
Modify Polycarb piston head
GURU Upgrade cylinder head
Guarder Full Steel PSG-1 Cylinder
Modify S170 Spring
unknown brand ball bearing spring guide
Modify 8mm solid steel bushings
SHS R85 gears
JG Blue motor
Extreme-Fire Cheetah Mosfet
Wired to deans with 16 gauge wire
Prometheus Neo-Strike Chamber
KWA 2GX bucking with the mound removed
R-Hop
Prometheus 6.03 550mm barrel
G&G L85 O-ring air nozzle
Firefly Hard Buffer Rubber

Externally:
King Arms CASV
NC Star 3-9x40 scope
lead pipe to protect the extra barrel length
Magpul rail covers
Magpul RFG
Vltor bipod

Custom mods include:
Custom shaped pistol grip, I used Bondo.
External barrel stabilization using foam and electrical tape.
I had to modify the gun a little to accept the CASV rail system.

Internal mods:
#14 piston o-ring
new air nozzle o-ring
sanding the tappet plate
sorbo on the cylinder head to correct AoE
teflon taped the cylinder head
tapping the spring to remove the *sproing* spring noise
sanded tappet plate
Floss modded the bucking
stabilized the inner barrel
shimmed the hop up arm and gears
trimmed the hop up gears so that they hold their hop better
stabilized the barrel within the hop up chamber
shimmed the gears to perfection including motor height
soldered wires to the motor
extended the hop up window in the barrel
extended hop up contact patch
modified flat nub to properly and evenly apply pressure to the bucking and contact patch.



I use an 11.1v 2000mah 20c lipo. Because of the special rails, this is the largest battery I can fit in the gun. Thankfully the precocking system gives me exceptional trigger response, and removes the need for a larger battery.

I use .43g bbs, right now I'm specifically using Javelin bbs.

As for noise, the gun isn't as loud as one would expect. Using the .43s, and the slightly longer barrel allow for a very slight over volume. As such, the *pop* of the gun is quiet consider the fps it pumps out. As it stands, It's quieter than some stock guns, but by far, it's not the quietest gun on the field. Simply put, if I'm shooting at you, outside of 100ft, you are more likely to hear the bbs whizzing by then the actual sound of my gun firing.

And to wrap things up, I've often called it my rail gun, as many times running through the fields I play at, I'll look down and am greeted with this sight:



Makes me feel like I'm holding a rail gun or some sort of laser rifle.

Anyway, I'll wrap this up with some pictures from a previous time.

Beautiful. I actually like the look of the susat looking scope on the gun more, kinda suits it.
Also when you said over the limit I thought it would be like 650 fps or something.
You said to me earlier that you reinforced the gearbox so maybe include it in the mods list?
Anyway it is very very nice, it would be one of my dream guns (Besides the dream gun I have at the minute) and then a few others) if the limits were higher than one joule in Ireland.

Also Then, I like the way you are using the pre-cocking system from the PSG-1 as that is a brilliant mechanism.

The SHS gears and JG motor were kind of predictable though, but thats cause they are awesome and cheap.
I think you could possibly get a better consistency with it though. (5fps is great though but I have heard of and seen better once with an AEG, and with one this good I would go for it.)
My bolty which cost a fraction of this has like a 3fps and the rare 4 or 5 variation. But then again it is a bolt action.

Lastly if you don't mind me asking, how much was it to do the gun all in, as in scope, rail system internals etc. ?

Thanks, just fond of this gun in particular.

Ahh cool man (943rd post FTW) .5 of an FPS is nearly unheard of. I believe you that it is very consistent but the chronographs aren't THAT accurate IMO. So I would say it is extremely consistent but not THAT consistent, in airsoft terms that consistency is impossible considering all the variables. Just my opinion.
Oh well I believe you, but to be honest as long as you are under the +/-5 mark really you are fine, it's just the fathomed 1 is a hard thing to get. Also yeah I did get a bit over excited I was kinda on a mad teenage rush gregariousness involving guns (If that makes any sense). A rare thing to happen with all the angst and such. Lol Kidding but I did have a but of a hard on for your gun there.

And it is transparent that you know what you are doing, as with your friend too.
iuohsdfiuasb;pu God dammit not again...

But on a serious note, how is the lead cylinder held in place? Does it just slide on or what? Also would you not put an aluminum tube or something because of how heavy lead is?
Carbon fibre wouLd look awesome and be really light.

And woogie, you could use it a melle weapon but you would ruin the pipe as it is lead and it would bend ;)
