Definetly. The mechanism comes from the factory generously lubed, and adding some silicone oil to the side of the cylinder and other grease on the upper body above the mechbox is simply a matter of taking off the upper part of the body.

*UPDATE*
(I can't seem to edit the first post anymore) Well, the battery turned out to be even worse than I thought. One major problem this gun has is lockups in semi-auto. Think FA-MAS, only a lot worse. Actually, it was so bad, in the last test I did I couldn't even fire any rounds in semi-auto. It locked up every time. The source of the problem turned out to be the battery. I replaced it with an Elite 8.4v 1500mah mini, and wow, the difference is amazing. ROF is increased greatly (I'll chronie it to test later) and the mechbox didn't lock up once. So I definitely recommend using another 8.4v battery, not the stock one.

i had that problem with my star, i ended up makeing a large battery to fit in place. 5 sideways then 2forward faceing connected by jumper wires. mah is an issue tho, i think the biggest i could get to fit in there like hat was 2400, which is good enough.

Yup, the battery sucks for the semi-auto...
And the rail sucks with the STAR SUSAT. If you do plan going that way, you'll need to grind down the top of the rail (about a millimeter) so that the SUSAT slides on smooth. Took me about an hour to grind it, dremmel it smooth and paint it.

*UPDATE*
Thought I would throw an update in here after skirmishing with it at the Wasaga game. Equipment in the gun: -Systema 6.04mm tightbore. -G&P Metel hopup Overall, not overly impressed. The Good: -Love the L85 platform -small, easy to maneuver, quick to shoulder, nice all round. The Bad: -Misfeeds. Holy f**k misfeeds. At this game I had to hit the bottom of the mag about every 5 seconds to reseat it in the reciever. -Lost semi-auto at the end of the day The loss of semi-auto turned out to be a BB blocking the selector assembly, so once that was removed semi worked fine again. As for the misfeeds.. After a very large part of experimentation (one good thing about the L85, easy to field strip) it turns out that the misfeeds were a combination of the systema tightbore and the magazines sitting slightly too low. After replaceing the tightbore with the standard barrel and adding a piece of electrical tape to the back of the mags to make them sit very tight in the reciever it seems to feed fine. I thought maybe the new hop-up unit was causing the problems, but apparently not. As for good things I pulled the top half of the mechbox off to inspect the piston/cylinder etc, and it was in good shape. The piston, piston head, and nozzel look fine, no wear, and actually look and feel better quality than the ones in my CA36.

Another update here..
As far as I can tell, I managed to fix the misfeeding issue. More testing is in order. The mags sat too low in the magazine well, so I needed to put a little "spacer" (two layer thick of electrical tape) between the magazine body and the top of the insert for the magazine. Other than that, gun is still going strong. No mechanical faults as of yet.
