 I might also wait for the CO2 version if that does become a thing.

I could imagine that the CO2 conversion is just a canister in the bolt style or something like the wolverine bolt although i'd happily be wrong. still be interested to see what the performance is like stock though...

although at that price i'm waiting till they're actually in country before i order.

Agreed, not even thinking about buying an airsoft rifle at that ridiculous price unless it’s amazing. If it turns out to be yet another pretty looking paperweight, then I’ll pass. If S&T can make a good rifle for £250-300 then Ares can too… I understand it being a bit more with the scope, however almost £700 is jut extortion….

Looking a lot like the RWA No4, and we all know how that turned out…

Red wolf review of the rifles. Unfortunately (but kinda expected) it seem these rifles have sub par performance for a ridiculous £700 price tag. 
 

I’ll stick to my S&T for now. Only cost £299 and seems to perform better than this bank account draining paper weight…. 
 

Seems like this will inevitably join the pile of overpriced junk historic guns along with the likes of RWAs Enfield and ares own L1A1.

When will these Airsoft manufactures learn! Oh well, here’s hoping for the G&G and maybe S&T to manufacture a No4

Sadly you may be right... That bolt pull also looks very odd ... It shouldn't be stuff both ways unless they've done something very strange ?

 
Sounds like they’ve tried to replicate the forward cocking action of the RS but have a standard rearward cocking spring mechanism . 
 

price was to be expected , im out .

£707.99 now at Daves Custom, haha. 
 

Patrol base have the cheapest one at £649.99. 
 

Not that it’s cheap either way lol. 
 

And still no proper reviews beyond RWA. Hoping Neo35 can get his hands on one of these to give us an in depth look.

I'd like to see one up close.   I hanker after a deactivated No4 with a working bolt that can cycle deactivated rounds, this might scratch the itch for a bit less cash. And let me do some plinking with it too.

Edit:  Not much less cash... de-activated no4's are available with cycling bolt / dry fire / removable mag for £850.   I suspect the breech will be welded up so won't take dummy rounds, but it's the bolt-action itself that I have some weird case of "whatever-the-physical-version-of-ASMR-is"

Patrol base always show lower prices when it's something they don't have. See what price they are when they actually get stock . Unfortunately things are getting really expensive, especially shipping and these rilfes come in a massive hard case which means only two fit in a case so are very expensive to ship in

Does make me wonder how much these things actually cost to produce. I remember seeing the S&T SMLE as low as £250 on some Asian websites, yet that sells for as a high as £450 on some sites.

Yeah their prices do go up and down, however i still find them to be one of the cheaper sites. And I got lucky with their S&T SMLE when they had it up for £299.

Same as I paid for mine from them. Got a very snarky reply when I posted on Dave's custom facebook page that the price of his current batch was quite a bit more than I had just paid !

I agree, it is very expensive, but at the same time, you can't play airsoft with a working or deactivated Enfield, and a good one of those can cost up to £1000. Plus if you want a No4T Sniper, then you will be paying in the thousands for that. So yes it is expensive, but most of us will probably never get the chance to shoot or own a real No4T so this is the next best thing, and it does seem like a lovely replica from what I've seen so far.
