If you've really been researching for three years, you already know getting an even half decent gun is going to cost you a fair bit. Take a deep breath and drop the wad for the Star L85.

Clearly he hasn't done the research and is a n00b, otherwise he would never have posted this thread

Definitely - with 10 minutes of reseach even. Doesn't take much to realize airsoft in Canada will make your wallet cry.

I guess he just didn't come across academy reviews in those 3 years.

Anyways, the Star L85 is lightyears beyond just about all stock aegs in terms of build material. Definately worth every penny if your a fan of L85s.

There's a new L85 being built by Army Armament (CHinese clone). It's a direct copy of the G&G one, full metel, etc, apparently with much better quality. Retails for $130 US. A&A can get it in for $550.
