All the ones Ive seen have been pretty expensive and I've seen a few that were like 60$

Should I trust the 60$ ones?

no...its a LPEG...which you should avoid...

There is a reason why the better ones are more expensive. simply because of the metal and the percision of the parts used. You get what you pay for and anything in AEG land under $90 is going to really ruin your respect for airsoft.

Well put L.W. Yeah, this L85 looks like it could be bad news. I always think of LPEG's as some of the things you see on the Simpsons. For example, the monorail in the Monrail Episode. Springfield wins alot of money and gets carried away and excited just because they found a guy who will install it for an insaneley cheap price. Well, here are the similaritys bettween that monorail and LPEGs:

~It was cheap, TOO cheap/LPEGs are very cheap, to get the buyer excited about purchase
~It fell apart on the very first ride/LPEGs will most likely break VERY quickly, maybe within weeks, sometimes within days.
~In the episode, It showed why the monorail broke: faulty break pads, cheap wiring, old/used parts, some parts weren't even installed/LPEGs are very cheaply made, plastic gears that wear down and strip very quickly as opposed to metal ones, cheap wiring that sometimes over-heats and melts, cheap or wrong fuses that cannot hold.
~After selling the Monorail, Lyle Lanley, the man that sold them the Monorail, skipped town because he didn't want to be caught; he knew his Monorail was faulty/LPEGs come with little to no support from the manufacturer and company, and there is usually no warranty, or a bad one.
~Lyle LAnly hired regular bums around Springfield to do build the Monorail so he could pay them cheaply. Not a single person he hired had any experience whatsoever/Usually, the people that assemble LPEGs are not proffessionals, and are not the best at thier work, and don't put as much time and care into it as such companys as Classic Army, G&G and Tokyo Marui.

Well I know that was long, and maybe confusing, but I wanted to put it into perspective for some people.....And I guess maybe it would be easier to understand If you've seen the episode. Neutral

very well put double taps,

I think you guys might have skipped over something though....

DRAGON L85A1 BULLPUP BRITISH FULL SIZE AIR RIFLE
[AR_IU202B]

Notice the air rifle in the title, indicating a springer. Also look at the first to letters in the coding, also the code for a springer on evike. I don't think theres a company called Dragon that makes and LPEGS or AEG's either. I almost missed it myself, but ive never heard of a LPEG L85, or even a LPEG that costs $60.


Grindhouse: If I were you I wouldn't buy any gun that costs less than your Glock. Theres a few exceptions but I would stick by the price guide.

Oh....I didnt notice the first two letters, but I DID notice the "Air Rifle" In the name. I just was guessing another indication of a crappy gun....but forgot to add it!! haha, but yeah I didnt notice it was a springer.

good eyes, sticks.

I noticed that sticks...

dude ize brokez my toughbook. so i know how you feel. although i have a friend who may be able to fix it. he just has more equipment than a screwdriver when it comes to fixing comps. lol

Actually LPEG's are good for one thing. IF the country you live in does not allow full metal body or black AEG's you may want to consider buying a cheap clear body. I forget which brand but someone was able to put a TM GB w/ the proper hop up/ magazine/ and barrel into a Crossman Pulser 72

lolz
