Ares L85-A2-AFV Airsoft Assault Rifle

OptimusPrime

One of the nicely-made airsoft replicas in my opinion, and you is reasonably priced at Airsoft World... "The AFV is the CQB version of the British L85 A2 assault rifle. Solid steel construction with nylon fibre 'plastics' and authentic trades make this almost impossible to tell apart from the real thing. It also has the Ares quick-swap cylinder so you can change the main spring from the stock 350fps to whatever is more suitable for your purpose.

Costs US$358 and it's the only AEG from the L85 series of Ares that comes with SUSAT preinstalled. This is a very solid AEG highly recommended for CQB games.

The carry handle and front sight are both removable for the addition of an optics.

Something to look forward to on Monday as ICS is going to launch their CXP which is unique in the world and the L85 which has an instant releasable handguard, upper and lower receiver which will surely grab the attention of UK-based players after they tire out on the Army L85 released last year.

OptimusPrime

Sighting at the I Chih Shivan Enterprises (ICS) website. A picture of their upcoming L85 release is now posted there. No product information or specifications yet. Though we would like to note that the SUSAT may not be a standard feature but would be sold as a separate accessory like the STAR L85 version. But with the ICS reputation of easy field stripping, we bet that it will also be easily field stripped.  Stay tuned for further information on this.
