Not quite sure if this is news used the search cant find anything so ile post this news thread if its old mods please delete:

King arms release their L1A1 AEG in a market already saturated with L1A1 AEG by Star, king arms uses steel accessories on this one , with a operational bolt carrier opening mechanism and full metal body, as with their previous AEGs it boasts high end internals in the gearbox allowing it to use a 12volt battery successfully, delivered by a 7mm gearbox. Comes with a standard 90 round mag.


Those unfamiliar with the rifle :

Known as the SLR (Self Loading Rifle) and is known for is straightforward field stripping and robust nature. The L1A1 is the British version of the Belgian FN FAL rifle. The L1A1 is a reliable, hard-hitting, gas-operated, magazine-fed semi-automatic rifle

Price is TBA

There will be 6 versions of the L1A1:

Thanks dude just a bit bord lol

At least here you have good pictures

[OverKiller93]

It's on WGC too.

[olaman]

I've gotten myself one of these, and I can recommend it.
Got weight, and the gearbox sounds like it's top notch.
Haven't opened it yet, though, but you know that sound, that sound of an AEG operating just like it should. It has that sound:P

[jamesdack]

Olaman could you tell me what the range is like and is the blowback good or just a waste of time?

[Nicoli]

Not sure if you realise, but the second few groups of pics, showing 2 sets of 3 rifles are FALs not SLRs I believe.

Spilitting hairs I know as the SLR was a licensed copy of the FAL but in semi auto but there were differences! lol

[trigger_happy_08]

Awh, you got me excited for a bit, thinking that there were more variants of the L1A1 being released. The FAL guns were released a while ago, though, and are built differently than the upcoming L1A1.

[tendens]

I can tell you that the blowback isn't that of a GBB, but it's a little kick, but I think it's a nice feature.
The range is like that of a 450fps rifle. No kidding. Seeing is believing.

[Doncommie]

That thing looks like it's built like a brick sh*thouse and excellent range too? King Arms are really stepping up.

Does it use the same mags as the other KA FALs? I don't want to have to buy new mags.

[jamesdack]

This is sounding to be a serious aeg.

[HKG36]

The Star model is still the most accurate as this one has the wrong type receiver as the one there using is the kind found Aussie L1A1's and they didn't number it correctly such as the charging handle.Another problem is that the triggerguard is to far forward unlike the Star and the carry handle is totally wrong it looks like an M249 carry handle and the Radi of the upper receiver does not match the contour of the lower.Also don't mean to bash a new gun but if they expect to beat Star in external differences they are totally wrong.

Well, it beats Star on internals, accuracy and velocity.
And it has blowback, not to mention^^

I've been talking to Mark at KA, and he told me the FALmags would have to be modified to fit, but L1A1mags will probably arrive at the end of the month.
So I'm waiting rather than buying and modding FALmags.

Looked kinda awkward at a game the other day, though, had to take cover, remove magazine, use my speedloader to refill, and then get back up to shoot.

one thing that most don't realize is that there are just about a million versions of FAL/L1A1 variants/parts combos. So I bet the accurately reproduced the one they could get their hands on - but it might not be the lock stock commonwealth L1A1 model.

[jamesdack]

Is there a release date for the L1A1 yet.
