The L118A1 is like a fluorescent condom. Everybody knows what it is, what it should look like and who owns one. But there are so few images of it in use that it just captures your imagination. As for me, I couldn’t pass the opportunity to both build another Accuracy International rifle clone and make this weird comparison !
Building an airsoft L115A3 is no easy fit given the time consuming constant search for parts and ensuring the different adjustments needed to fit. While still not finished, I’m more than happy to share my own iteration of the iconic sniper rifle.
L96A1, L118s, L115A2, L2A1, and more, all share a common accessory : the Schmidt & Bender 3-12×50 PMII scope, designated as L17A1.
The 16″ L2A1 was just the first part in a diabolical plan of mine : to complete the holy L2A1 trinity. It’s starts with building one the longest airsoft rifle I’ve ever owned and seen.
Replacing the L100A1 / G3KA4 as the main UKSF do-it-all rifle wasn’t easy but the HK417 managed to pull it off. The 16″ inch variant is the ideal go-between the small 12″ and the longer 20″.
On the hunt for the perfect L2A1 flash hider : the Surefire FH762-213S.
Being entangled in building both the L2A1 and the L118A1, there is one obligatory common part : the AI QD mount. This simple accessory holds quite a legacy within the small world of UKSF rifles.
How I built my own angle indicator to get the complete L115A3 look.
Only a couple of replicas make for the perfect fitting of real Accuracy Internationa accessories. The first step into the L115A3 is choosing the right one.
