RostokMcSpoons Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Ooooh some sex-wee has escaped 😅 Have they got any plans for a no4 though? I have an absolute 'thing' for cycling the Lee Enfield bolt action, it does that 'ASMR' thing for me, but I've fired the no4 a lot, never the SMLE. So it's a nostalgia angle for me. And WW2 just appeals much more than WW1. 27 minutes ago, Adolf Hamster said: 2 tone options!?!?!?! Yeah that would be an awful thing to do to such a beautifully presented gun. Luckily the £450 price tag should make it a non-runner for the less serious player. ---- Watching him shooting it (towards the end of the video... struggling to reach 40m target let alone hit it, does suggest this is tending towards the wall-hanger end of the spectrum, until it's been upgraded. Still if it is VSR10 compatible, there's some hope it'd become vaguely usable. Hmmm perhaps skirmishing isn't really the point of this. I'd just wear out the action cycling the bolt all the time and be happy with that Edited January 8, 2022 by RostokMcSpoons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDcase Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 It would be a shame to get one toned but if someone wants one for garden plinking only then that would be their only option. At that price I'm not going to get one in any tone 😞 Hopefully the price will come down once there are more in country 🤞 Paul72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advantage of the SMLE is that the Aussie and Ishapore factories only ever made SMLEs, and they remained on issue in WWII, so you can do either 14-19 or 39-45.

But the bolt action on that didn't look very smooth / easy. I might not find that entirely satisfies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just wear out the action cycling the bolt all the time and be happy with that Highly doubt it is vsr compatible. The travel on that pull looks extremely short, even shorter than the striker I think. Looks nice but probably only good for reenactments sadly.

Yeah sorry I took this "We currently believe that this rifle uses a VSR Barrel setup and hop-unit" And brought "VSR compatible" to the thread. My mistake.

Tactical Pith Helmet Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Vintage Airsoft do VSR based SMLE's and No4s (IIRC). Personally I want a long Lee, but there we go. Colonial era airsoft would be good fun. Single shot or BA v melee weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armo1000 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) £450 seems a bit pricey considering their K98s and other spring rifles are like £250-350. Annoying as i was hoping this would finally be the affordable and skirmishable spring Enfield we all wanted....

EDcase Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Quite sure they've bumped up the price to cash in on first buyers. I suspect (hope) as soon as other retailers get them in the price should drop. EvilMonkee and Armo1000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacked up extortionate prices for sub par rifles because they know people are dying for Enfields on the market so will pay...

Sand it down and re varnish. Or the LIme Green L1A1 could be easily painted over for that Rodie look. Druid799 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From HK it’s the same price in US $’s as it is in UK £’s so by the time you add all the ‘extras’ on there’s a very good chance it could end up costing more to import than buying in the UK ! 😳 Paul72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
