*NEW* Star HK M16 realcaps



Look a lot nicer than the dull grey realcaps everyone's used to. I'm not a big fan of HK although these look pretty damn sharp. Think I'll buy some! They're available at eHobbyAsia now.

Just to promote their own L85 you know.

On the website it says it'll fit L85 and M16 series, so it'll work.

How can that be? The real L85 magazine is smaller than an armalite magazine ... unless of coarse there is a serious design flaw in the STAR L85 AEG.

IIRC the Star L85s were built to be used with standard AR Mags Alex.

Good one on them, changing the exterior design of a rifle for the sake of convenience :-( That's really sad.

Alex, how sure are you of the L85 mag issue? I was under the impression that part of the reason certain rifles were pickd by NATO nations was due to interchangability of mags (FAMAS, Armalite family, L85, etc).

From Modern Firearms:

Quote:
The L85 is fed using NATO-standard (STANAG) magazines, similar to M16 type magazines, with the standard capacity of 30 rounds. Early L85A1 steel magazines caused a lot of troubles, as well as a magazine housing itself, which had a thin walls that could be easily dented, thus blocking the magazine way. Both magazines and its housings were upgraded in the L85A2 configuration, too.
Edit - Also it makes sense that they are branding the HK mags for the L85, as HK carried out the upgrades for L85A2s.

The SA80 mag is the same size as any other STANAG mag.

The HK STANAG mags are in fact steel and quite expensive. About the only real steelers buying them are HK snobs who eat, sleep, breathe, and shit HK.

OH ya. But wouldn't it be better if it was like a armalite mag instead of a HK mag. Its new but doesn't match.
