Ace of Spade's L119A1 WIP thread

[Ace of Spades©]

So in the spirit of all things L119A1, here is my WIP.

Based off of this picture (but a bit more modernized):



Mk1


Mk2



Installed Army Code barrel and slapped on a 4-Position stock. Still got a lot of internal work and small parts to add-on / do, but over all I'm very pleased with how my project is going.

Oh yea... I know there is electrical tape holding the fat part onto the barrel, I don't have a -14mm flash hider since my G&P one was a +14mm =/ And yea, I don't got a charging handle or bolt release as I just slapped it back together for a pic.

Still need to get the following parts for it:

Large pistol grip
KAC Rail Covers
Stock pad
Rear sling plate
SA80 Sling

I'm not 100% on getting a L119A1 front sight any time soon, might just do some mod work with the putty to make it look the part. I just got a dremel, so going to mod a LiPo into the buffer tube and probably stick a Trigger Master in some where.

Internally, its a Systema drop in mechbox, but I may look at the new Revolution box sometime in the future.

Not bad. Good to see I'm not the only one L119 whore! I'm sporting the CQB one though

As for the DIS I have someone who knows where to get these babies But get ready to be raped without any lube...

[oniwagamaru]

dude you bought it back?
sweet... but the way things are going its gonna be a wall hanger till the summer or something... we should find a game!

[Ace of Spades©]

Tell me where Vince! I want I want I want!

[Vince]

You'll also need a rear mounting sling plate, front ris swivel sling adapter and SA80 3pts sling

[Ace of Spades©]

I'm gonna order the sling plate when I need to order the pistol grip and pad.

Since I'm going for the ghetto oldskool version, would it not be proper to use the front sight sling mount and not a RIS one? And I quite like my Para cord sling right now... but maybe a SA80 one sometime down the road.

Did you get into contact with your contact about the DIS?

[Vince]

Yup I'll shoot you the guy email so you can order yours!

Mine is on thw way

And yeah if you're going for earlier L119 you won't need the front RIS swivel adapter.

I only lack a buttpad one mine... (and of course proper Surefire can, but fuck those are pricy)

[Ronan]

Simple and sexy, i like it.

Mmmmmmmm.... DIS. I can't wait to get my tax return back. The one time paying the high Ontario taxes, yet living out of province is a benefit =/

Ronan: I've gone through an M14, a SCAR and a M4 CQBR and was in the process of building at SOPMOD Block 1 before I realized that I should just go back to the basics of fine weaponry. Nothing too too gucci (The L119A1 is already pretty gucci as it is). Handling a real C8 16" was the culminating point for me to make to move to a KISS set up. Less gear, less weight, more speed, more fun.

That's a very nice gun, I like how it is so simple and clean looking.

Army Code L119A1 barrel set came in today!



Can't wait to instal it. 4-Pos stock should be in next week and I should be get ordering a DIS within a week!

EDIT: It was linen exchange today, thus why I don't have my purdy orange issued comforter like usual....

[Lerch]

You should have no problem getting a spare stock pad for that :P

[Vince]

We should just turn this thread in an L119A1 lover thread!!! Ordered my barrel extensions last week (so I can still sport my 10.5 and screw my can or screw the exntesion and have the full lenght version!). Sling plate and SA80 slings are coming and DIS as well.

And you totally have to put a pic of that barrel mounted on that bad boy!

[Ace of Spades©]

^^ Just for you I slaved over my spares today and after my water-polo match to finish Mk2 of my L119A1

I have my DIS on the way as we speak =D Cost me a bit more then you had said, but I think that just because shipping ended up being quite expensive =(

Are you still in QC? We should try and meet up at a game and take a pic of both of our L119A1's when they are done.

First post is now updated with the new pics!

Lerch: I know I know, I may be able to nab one this summer, but being a good officer, I can't let my klepto habits take to much advance =(

[Huron]

If DIS = BUIS, where did you find it? And that barrel is sweet, now I really need to get a job and join the SFW club..
