- description
The R85 takes its own cylinder, and finding one is harder than finding almost anything else for the platform. This is the SHS version.
Cylinders wear on the inside where the piston head seals against them. Scoring, pitting or a lip at the end of the stroke will cost compression no matter how good the head is.
Because this is a platform part rather than a volume choice, the usual barrel-length arithmetic does not apply. It is cut for the R85 and that is the selection made for you.

Good to know before you buy
This is described by our supplier as an R85 part and no barrel range is given alongside it. We are not going to infer one, so treat it as the platform-specific item it is sold as.
Frequently asked questions
Will it fit anything other than an R85?
It is listed for the R85 alone. Compare it against the cylinder you remove if your gun is something else.
How do I know my cylinder needs replacing?
Run a finger inside it. Scoring you can feel, or a visible lip where the piston head stops, both cost compression.
Does it come with a cylinder head?
No. Our supplier lists the cylinder on its own.
