Re: l85

Well then you only have one choice, the Army Armament version. AA L85A1.

Re: l85

theres only one option if that is your budget

the ARMY ARMAMENTS l85a1

however i suggest saving up another £100 and getting the STAR version

much better built and more reliable and is of the l85a2 design which is more up to date

Re: l85

New?

For £150 you won't get one.

Atleast an AEG L85.



The Army R85 starts at about £160, so it's probably a good move to get one second hand.

Although aparently Army R85's are quite poor.

Ares - I've heard nothing but good news about their L85's, same goes for ICS.

Where did you find that? All the reveiws I seen say its cracking value for money. Well certainly when it was £130 when it first came out :D

Re: l85

Aparently there are common issues with Semi auto and the blowback.

I've heard the piston needs replacing too..



Ofcourse, these are only rumours! :D

We've actaully started bitching about airsoft guns! Oh dear.

Re: l85

they are OK for the money - disable the blowback though - some people have run it without problems but its pathetic and can break easily

for the price they are ok, build quality is fair, performance is average - you can do better if you save up more money and go for ICS/STAR/G&G

Re: l85

ok thanks guys ill probvs save up for a star then

Re: l85

they are great for the money the Army version's are

yes they have problem with semi but a full auot burst will sort it right out again ,

and the piston design is pants 18teeth not the 14 ones like normal

all you need to do is take the rear tooth off with a drimmel or a file so it doesn't shred it and will last for ages

[jagillham]

Re: l85

A problem shared with the G&G Version, so watch out.

[guard-sniper87]

Re: l85

oooh never realised they also had the 18tooth piston in . .

but they are great rifles , and if upgraded correctly and looked after , they work for ages

Re: l85

AA clones the G&G one

[guard-sniper87]

Re: l85

Ah , i never knew that ..... until now , :p

[screwdriver]

Re: l85

i have the g&g ,constant lock up in semi from new, full auto fine.
very well made and realistic semi problem is its only flaw and very common fault

[guard-sniper87]

Re: l85

i had the issue with the AA version , but since tweaked the trigger bar and connections on the mech box, it only does it once per 3 mags .
