This is a very pretty airsoft replica of the L85A2 - the standard frontline rifle of the British Military as well as the armed forces of Jamaica. The A2 variant was produced in 2000 by Heckler & Koch, implementing a series of redesigns and upgrades on the existing stock of 200,000 L85’s in service in the UK. The general opinion of the earlier SA80 series of rifles was low, with a lot of publicity on the weapon’s poor reliability and handling, which is what lead to the redesign by Heckler & Koch. The original design of the L85 / SA80 was done by the Enfield Royal Small Arms Factory, and later production was handled by Royal Ordnance’s Nottingham factory. Venezuela also purchased a number of these rifles for their special forces, but quickly discarded them after experiencing very poor reliability in jungle conditions.
