I agree, the markup for it is nearly 5x. But it's still < half the STAR and a good deal cheaper than the crappier G&G. But show me a single china gun in canada that isn't insainly marked up. Hell, look at the JG G36... $400 on A&A for a gun that retails for <$100 elsware. I couldn't find the FN2000 on his site, but I know when he had it it retailed for something like 7x what it would cost in the US. For me personally, paying the 5x markup on the L85 was worth it. If the gun was plastic, not a chance.
