T.I.T.S 01 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hi guys So my M1903 from S&T gave up after only 8 mags going through it, cocking mechanism broke! Really disappointed as loved the gun. James from Bespoke Airsoft arranged collection and a quick refund..so can't fault him or his team. Anyone else had similar experiences from S&T products? Currently now waiting on Shoot & Scoot Lee Enfield No4 to be ready. 01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg147 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 The semi-auto on my S&T Sterling broke after a few games, and I was told it's a common issue. I've been wary of buying S&T products since, probably more so now your M1903 has gone equally quick. You wouldn't think there's much that go wrong with a bolt action...

Wish they'd wake up and get a solid product on the market! 01 Its all in the works, just wait it out. Probably by next year or the end of this year if we are lucky, and we will have the Spring S&T No3 and the gas G&G No4.

That's a shame, I could say nothing but good things about my Sterling. I am weary of the common issue with the semi auto, but its all good so far and ive had mine for about 2 years now. Very solidly built gun and shoots pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.I.T.S 01 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 With ref to the spring No3 and G&G No4 I can't wait! Although I have just bought the SMLE steel BB firing air rifle. Too strong for skirmishing but great for target shooting in the garden. It is a solid piece of kit, very well built indeed. My son's Swit K98 is also in the picture. 01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.I.T.S 01 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hi It is an extremely well made bit of kit. It has a full dense heavy wood stock. Feels amazing in your hands and certainly well balanced. The metal work on it is solid and not cheap light weight like on other guns. The cocking mechanism is solid and precise. The CO2 bulbs are easily fitted in the magazine and you get 35-40 shots from it. Magazine holds 15 BBs. If you are wanting a garden rifle to target shoot then this is an awesome rifle. Not to be used in skirmish as too powerful and it shoots metal BBs. It's not cheap at £399 but you get what you pay for and this is good enough to go on your wall. If you are a re-enactor then this is ideal for you. Mine came with the sling but you'll need to shop around as some retailers don't include this in the package. I bought mine from Sunderland Air rifles! There is a good review on YouTube...search Lee Enfield Air Rifle look for the Blackpool Air Rifle review. 01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 That is lovely. What is the bolt pull like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.I.T.S 01 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 The bolt pull is easy as it is not a spring. It only travels back about 2cms but allows for quick rate of fire! Look at the Blackpool Air Rifles review on YouTube as it covers it all. 01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 That’s good, I like the sound of that 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.I.T.S 01 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Just been firing it now and it has a lovely "Whack" sound with each pull of the trigger! Great Air Rifle for fun shooting. According to the retailer I bought mine from there are no more in stock in the UK. Now awaiting the second batch however might be £40 more expensive! 01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.I.T.S 01 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 No worries about all the questions as genuinely glad to help. Yes the mag is removable and the CO2 capsule fits in the magazine easily. Please watch the YouTube video. 01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the wood work is as it would be when issued from the production line...new. I'm not intending to use it as a prop for re-enacting so won't be distressing it. The bolt pull is quick and easy and makes a solid sound however obviously if using a 303 round you'd pull it back further. For collectors and target shooting though I think they've got it spot on! 01 I'm still awaiting pics and info from Warren at Shoot & Scoot with ref the LE No4 of which is intended for Airsoft skirmishing!! 01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armo1000 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Nice rifle, but that bolt pull is a bit disappointing. Need to rack it all the way back for the full and authentic feel of it 👌 . My PPS Kar98 is great for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
