L85 Mags

Long_Bong · October 24th, 2009, 15:19

Hi,

Looking at getting a L85 from ARES,

Not sure if I could use standard M4 mags (Marui like),

Would it work?

The L85 uses STANAG magazines, so pretty much any M4/M16 type mags should work (allowing for the vagaries of construction from top-end compaies to cheapos).

On the ARES web site, they appear to be different:

well if you look at the l85 mag and the m16 mag just below it, the feeding system on the top of each is exactly the same.

Yeah looks like a standard AR mag to me.

I've used a Star (Ares stole their stock...) L85 and I can confirm that marui mags work in them.

L85 takes STANAG mags.

Have an ICS L85 and My King Arms Metal Mags for M4 work just fine No problems.

also have some King Arms plastic mags no probls either.

std M4 mags work in the L85

I own one.. it eats anything... I have not found a M4 mag that it's not happy to feed from.

Get the ICS one... you can adjust the spring to 3 levels of FPS so good for out and indoors (all without taking the mechbox apart)

Regular M4 AEG mags work in both the G&G L85 and the Star L85.

I have no idea if Ares changed anything with the Star L85 (that'd be a dumb thing to do, but not beyond the realm of possibility), but I doubt it.
