G&G No.4MKI

[Tactical Pith Helmet]

I'm familiar with the RS version, anyone know anything about the G&G version?  Any known faults etc?  These look great for WW2 games and they have a far better sight set up than the previous SMLE.

English Kiwi I think did a review.  Of all the No 4's available, I think the new S&T one is still the better option.  Patrolbase have them.  The G&G has 2 major issues 1.  Its Gas.  2. Its plastic body

I have the S&T no.4 mk1. Points to note:

• The bodywork is quite nice - I’ve not felt a compelling urge to refinish/stain the wood (but I probably will at some point for the fun of it)
• Mine had a horrible bolt pull at first (they all have this) - easily rectified with a bit of good lube, an aliexpress thrust bearing on the spring guide, and a cut down L96 spring (M130 or M150 flavours depending on whether you want a MED or not).
• The back of my bolt was wobbly out of the box (a two minute fix)
• Out of the box, the trigger box on mine wasn't attached to the receiver -at all. all four screws were entirely missing! But these things are super easy to take apart and it was quick to sort - plenty of video guides about
• They use a bb feed ramp+ a loading plate/fin on the cylinder to guide a bb from the magazine. It seems luck of the draw from what I can read, but the C clip holding my loading fin on keeps popping off. The accepted mod is to make (or buy) a C clip made from an AEG brass barrel, and optionally fit an airsoft pro metal feeding fin intended for the TM L96 AWS, and slightly filed down to fit.
• The both the front and rear sights are non adjustable (unless you count the rear flip up 'volley sight' as 'adjustable' - but that is not a problem really
• They take VSR cut barrels and VSR/GBB hop rubbers
• The range and accuracy is outstanding, even if you run it at 1.1j

In summary - lovely rifle, but unless you get super lucky, be prepared to spend a few hours doing some (easy) work to it in order to get it perfectly ready for a skirmish.

 

The jury is out as to whether the Vector Optics No.4 scope mount will fit it - I suspect that it would though - which together with the readily available stock cheek pieces would allow for a passable No.4 T sniper version to be created.
