OK I have had mine out and given it a good thrashing - I like it a lot but a seemingly re-occouring problem is arising: it seems to not like Semi mode, it fire two/three rounds then nothing, so you have to switch to full auto and it's fine!?... Scott - any ideas on this please and is anybody else getting this problem?....

Well chaps - what can I say?! I am at home now and already had a battery charged and ready!! It is fab - I honestly dont know how Star and other manufacturers can manage to keep selling at £300+ for the equivcal thing... I hope yours turns up soon - I am off now, I have an appointment with my R85!!

I've got mine!!! I've got mine!!! LA LA LA!!! I've got mine!!! I've got mine!!! LA LA LA!!! I've got mine!!! I've got mine!!! LA LA LA!!! I've got mine!!! I've got mine!!! LA LA LA!!! I've got mine!!! I've got mine!!! LA LA LA!!! I've got mine!!! I've got mine!!! LA LA LA!!!

^ ^ ^ Not too keen on an orange flash hider – is this standard with the R85?.... Also – will Army Armament be making a copy SUSAT?... Foggy.

GRRRR To say I am jealous is a gross understatement!! So come on then - have you got it yet? Pics? Any problems? Has the cocking handle fallen off I have ordered mine thru LWA but I think that Customs and Excise want to have a wee skirmish with them before they can confirm they are not real rifles and send tham on!!

OK Gents - I have an update from LWA, I received the following email this morning: Dear Foggy, We have received notification from our distributor in the airsoft lands far far away ) our shipment of Army R85's has just been packed up (we've seen photo's) and should leave within a day or two. What that means for you, the customer, is that you'll be the first in the UK to have the Army R85. We hope that we can get these in the middle of next week but there is a chance that it could be as late as Friday. It really depends on how quickly customs clear the shipment. Payment wi

Hello people! I spoke to Scott at LWA on Friday and he said that hopefully (and he did stress the 'hopefully' bit!!) that our friends across the water would be shipping sometime this week!! I am so excited as I have had this on order since it was reviewed here! I must say Land Warrior Airsoft have been the best retailer to date that I have ever dealt with, the are honest and thorough and give no BS!! Thank you Scott - I am looking foreward to getting my R85 and trading with you again.

BOOOO!!! Just read on RSOV.com that the units have been delayed! I think I am going to cry... (or maby not!!) Without having to trawl back through all the pages of this thread does anybody know what UK resellers are stocking the R85? Many thanks, Foggy

Wow!! What a FAB review!! One thing - will there be a SUSAT available for this? It's just I am not keen on filing bits down so the STAR SUSAT will fit. Also whats the FPS please?? Many thanks, Foggy!!
