Crazy_Crystal Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I saw this pop up on the Ares facebook page and since i have such as soft spot for the T variant I had to share it; Quote [ ARES SMLE British No.4 MK1 ] We won't stop at only one model for our new #ClassicLine The 3 models of SMLE British No.4 MK1 series will be available on #June2022 No.4 MK1 & No.4 MK1(T) Almost Entirely Made of Steel Authentic Details Scope & Mount made of Metal & Steel High-quality Wood Direct BB Feeding System Ship with Wood Grain Plastic Gun Case Coming up with #L42A1, stay tuned for our next post Wood and metal... i just hope that the hop up is built a little better than the glued S&T No 3....

Crazy_Crystal Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 Just now, strykerles said: hopefully the internals aren't made of cheese looks lovely though ❤️ my thoughts exactly... but you never know. it looks suspiciously conventional based upon what can be seen of the cylinder anyway. actually scratch that... it looks like the sear goes in the side ... 🙄 Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skara Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 3 hours ago, strykerles said: hopefully the internals aren't made of cheese It looks to be based on the Striker system, which tells me Ares hasn't actually learned shit from the feedback they got over the last 5 years. The screw under the rear iron sight sits in just about the perfect place for a Striker style spring guide stopper and the cylinder having two horizontal slits seems to confirm what I said above. If only they sized the cylinder properly to the humongous inner barrel... The only thing I can't see is a hole for the TDC adjustment, which makes me think the hop is gonna be an utter cunt to adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JimFromHorsham Posted April 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2022 L42a1 would be nice , Ares though so I’d only be able to sit and cradle it , staring across the horizon wondering what a working airsoft version would be like Mr Operator (RED), timski, MandalShArK and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armo1000 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 No one makes Lee Enfield's for years, now they all come at once haha. Although knowing Ares, they will probably charge like £600 for it.....

If they can put out a gas rifle on par with something like the PPS Kar98, then could be even better than this and more realistic. But if it ends up just another standard G&G historic Gas rifle with crap performance then yeah maybe. Also this relies on Ares not making theirs perform like crap too and overpricing it to the moon.....

RostokMcSpoons Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I want you all to buy one. And then tell me whether they're any good. And then sell me one at an insanely knocked-down price. Ok? Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might also wait for the CO2 version if that does become a thing. JimFromHorsham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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… Edited May 9, 2022 by Armo1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
