King Arms
FN FAL - L1A1
- Reviewed by Maree Davidson of Mad Badger

Being part of the re-birth of the King Arms L1A1, has been one of the delights of my time in Airsoft over the past 18 months. The first King Arms L1A1 was released in 2008 to good reviews, and immediate sell out sales. As one of the original owners of the L1A1, I had been biding my time, with many others, for its return.

King Arms is a good example of a company in the Airsoft industry which listens to customers and re-acts accordingly, the KA L1A1 is a very good example of this.

At the Shot Show over the past few years ourselves, and others, had sat down with the King Arms team and put our ideas forward for future AEG models, and the team has tried its best to react by producing both changes to production and also new models. In our case, it was always the L1A1. It was with great excitement at this year’s Shot Show that we were able to report that King Arms was going to restart production of the L1A1 in time for the Summer 2013 season. Whilst the release date was not quite made, we had the first dozen L1A1’s in our hands for evaluation and sale by mid October 2013. It was a very good sign of confidence in the project that within 24 hours the entire shipment was sold out.

When we received the L1A1, we were very pleased to open the boxes they were delivered in to experience a “Back to the Future” experience, the boxes the guns are presented in is a re-birth of the attractive and decorate box of the first release in 2008. The box is solid cardboard, with a full colour print of the gun and the usual details across it. As someone aware of the production costs in Hong Kong of Airsoft packaging, this box would not have been cheap to produce (about 3 times the cost of the most basic Airsoft box packaging), and is a sign of the effort that has gone into producing the quality, detailed replica contained within.


Excitedly almost ripping the AEG from the packaging, I found myself immediately noticing a more refined replica than the earlier 2008 model. It appears that the plastic components (sorry, fibre) have been upgraded, and the AEG appears to be better finished than its earlier incarnation. Examining the AEG closely, the joins between moulded parts, and metallic components are very well done, the finish of the metal body is to a very high standard, something that you would expect to see from King Arms, and the individual serial numbering and weapon designation markings are well done, heavily recessed into the metal work and easily visible from a distance; thus giving the replica an air of authenticity.

Technical and shooting experience.

Mechanically the rifle has a Version 3 gearbox, with many interchangeable parts contained within. The quality is very good. It could be classed as a, specialised gearbox, due to a blowback plate, specialised piston and selector plate. You can disable the blowback by unscrewing two screws contained on the plate. Replacement of the piston means no blowback unless you make an adaption or get the correct one.


Feedback from sample group of ex British Army members.

The rifles went out to eight ex-service members, who have now tested them for three weeks or so. The feedback is that the weapons are accurate, have a fantastic range, and each gun is now a very much loved part of their collection. We obtained a second delivery of the guns, and were pleased as issues with the first guns, such as random FPS between 370 and 418 have been addressed, as was the selector on the gun (the first delivery had issues with selecting auto, which was fixed by a custom alteration on each gun by our technical staff). The strange phenomenon of the rear site post being screwed on backwards was also addressed with the sites screwed on the correct way round. Thus, King Arms took our initial feedback report and addressed our issues before sending out any more deliveries. This was very impressive to us, especially considering the short time period between sending out the first and second batches.


Overall conclusions.

The rifle is has proven to be good value for money to date. Magazines are in the normal price range for high cap and mid cap magazines, and everyone who carried the gun being happy with it, we have to say that it is a great step forward. The final compliment came when a player, who contracts to a regiment in the army based in Hereford, who purchased one of the initial ones, took the rifle to show his colleagues, and they purchased one for the mess wall. So, King Arms, there is no higher compliment for such a rifle, excellent work.

King Arms SiG556 'Shorty' Video -
in action!

KA SIG 556 'Shorty'
I reviewed this great AEG from King Arms back in January 2011 and it's still one of my favourite AEG's to skirmish with. Sure, it can be a little fussy with some magazines - with the mag-well being a little tight for the Lonex style quick winds and some other high cap types, but on the whole it has not let me down, yet! Fitted with an 11.1 Lipo it spits BB's like a white laser beam! - Just be sure to carry plenty of mags to keep up with its appetite!

Checkout the long overdue video of this beast in firing action:

The AEG looks cool with an Eotech site and has plenty of RIS to satisy most gear addicts who like to strap everything to their AEG's - just resist the temptation of making it too front heavy! - LOL.

Check out the full review of this fantastic AEG here.
