Wavey_Gravey Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 I already know I’m far too poor to afford it but this looks very nice. Kits and complete rifles will be available apparently, really like the ambi bolt release these come with.
Super64 Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Archwick are doing some really nice stuff and I like the look of their L119A2 a lot. The kits for the Marui MWS aren’t much cheaper than the full GHK build so I’d expect the LMT to be around the same price. Also, they don’t seem to have a very large manufacturing base, which I’m sure keeps up the high quality, but means there’s not many around. I’ve not seen any available in the U.K. even though I’m sure quite a few people would be willing to buy them. Me included. It seems unlikely U.K. retailers will stock the LMT kits if their not able or willing to stock the L119A2’s unfortunately. That kind of leaves us with buying from an Asian store and it’s a lot of cash to throw away if customs decide their not willing to let it in, or if something happens to it in transit.
Wavey_Gravey Posted April 24, 2022 Author Posted April 24, 2022 Agree it’s a lot of money for such a risk! I’ve seen one of the L119’s up close and the quality is amazing, the monolithic upper really sets it apart from most other builds. Salamanca 1
Super64 Posted April 24, 2022 Posted April 24, 2022 So I’ve heard. I’ve not seen one up close, but they look amazing from what I’ve seen online. I had a TM MWS done up as an L119A2, but it just didn’t seem right without the monolithic upper. I’d probably sell most of my collection for an Archwick.
Rainn6:8 Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 I’ve got one of their L119A2’s, & I can confirm it’s a thing of Beaty! It’s a solidly built & performs brilliantly, only issue I’ve had is the grub screw for the buffer retaining pin came loose, but a quick strip down & some blue thread lock soon solved the issue SBoardley, Super64 and Wavey_Gravey 1 2

Did it come with that trigger guard? Also is the flash hider a angry gun style or did you have to swap it out so a suppressor will fit? Btw looking to get a couple these imported soon. Wondering who will be the first to have the balls to paint theirs…. Edited April 25, 2022 by SBoardley

The trigger guard is a Magpul aftermarket one as is the FAB Defense grip (awaiting the purists to vent a spleen over that one!!), the next stage is getting better optics although the Novritsch one isn’t too bad at all for the price

Did you have to mod the trigger guard cus ghk spec is ever so slightly off? Just now, SBoardley said: It looks sweet, though I would keep the ergo!

I wish I was in a position to be confident that I wouldn’t have any issues getting one imported, but being on a reenactment society defence I can see customs just chucking it in the skip and it would honestly break my heart. Not to mention my back balance. I really thought some of the U.K. stores would have jumped on these though and got some in stock. I’m sure they wouldn’t hang around long, even at the high price.

Rainn6:8 Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 I’ve still got the ergo in reserve but prefer the grip angle of the fab defence, the trigger guard didn’t require any modding at all just fitted first time
SBoardley Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 @Rainn6:8 forgot to ask, where did you buy the a2 bud?
