Hi All,
Well first off a BIG THANKS to Marauder John for sending me this Original Prototype L85 rifle. As you will know this will be part of MJ`s Second series of accurate scaled weapons.
So I took the liberty to take a few shots of the weapon in use & also a comparison shot with a PTE L85 (SA80).
First the prototype.
MarauderJohn & PTE L85s
WITH Figure
In Use PTE L85.
In use Marauder John L85.
So as you can see,the weapon is AWESOME & all those planning on giving them to GI Joe Universe MARS (as in the comic) & or similar to me
have built some custom British troops. This weapon HAS TO BE ON THE WANTS LIST.
The detail as you can see is awesome & looks just right in the hands of the troops. Those who DO have PTE L85s,also take note there`s really not much difference so works well with them too
Not like the PTE L85s were easy to get anyway 
(25-30 PTE British SAS in total is what I bought & Seven of the 3 L85s varients is what i got ). So MJ will certainly be filling a HUGE Gap there IMHO
I`m looking forward to getting the series 2 L85s so I can use them & also customize them into various family member typess too.
Again John,Thank`s very much & I hope like I you are all looking forward to getting these
