Wingmann Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 It's a start Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Definitely a start, far better than nothing. The wood looks far too red vs the real ones I've handled. Not sure the handle on the bolt should have a mirror finish like that either? But credit to them either way for getting on and actually producing one. If they release a Mk4 that looks good and shoots straight I'll definitely buy it (long as it costs less than $1k). Link to post Share on other sites
Spudgun Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Do want!. Agreed the wood is far to red, but that's something that can be fixed by some wood stain. Now it's a case of who is going to stock this in the UK? Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hold up.. GBB? Must be a typo, I'm sure it'll just be a normal NBB gas rifle. Usually I'd say I'd want spring for the consistency but I want to use something like this for CQB in which case the increased ROF due to easier cocking will be a plus. Will need downgrading I'd imagine but with this sort of a rifle I don't think that'll be too difficult. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 It's gas and a NBB. I have one and it was damaged in transit (the knob on the bolt was broken). It's been out for a while on evikes website (listed as a matrix, really annoying how they do that), I say a while, since the end of last year. I would say buy one if you never intend to skirmish it. If you want to skirmish it, good luck (high lemon rate with the magazine - removable - and has brittle pars). Edit:- even with shipping, it's cheaper at Evike :- http://www.evike.com/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&sort=3a&keywords=Enfield&x=16&y=10 $210 plus shipping is way cheaper. Unless this is a newer upgraded version (at ehobby Asia)? Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 GBB would be nice though. Have a sizable chunk of dead weight in the stock slam into your shoulder after the shot. You'll need to re-aim between shots anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
Erab Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Were spare mags ever released for this? Its the main reason I never got one from Evike. Link to post Share on other sites
Desert.Express Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Not bad! At least it's not a springer and you don't need to sell a kidney to have it (any reference to KTW is purely casual) Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 $210 plus shipping is way cheaper. Unless this is a newer upgraded version (at ehobby Asia)? Surely it's a different model? Iron Airsoft aren't, as far as I know anyway, ACM (which is what 'Matrix' means on Evike's website) and the price difference is so huge that I don't think they can be the same gun.

Isamu Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hope it is a new upgraded version, but again, its EBB we are talking about... Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 If it is skirmishable then yay but I would still like it to be spring and not gas. Even as a NBB (well obvious being bolt) it still doesn't really bode well for the random UK temperatures. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

"Matrix" doesn't necessarily mean "All China Made"; it's just a catchall for any manufacturer with no local advertising presence and a way to make price comparisons more difficult.

ED-SKaR Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 FPS is listed as 80FPS at room temperature and 95 "with heated magazine" (whatever that means) so it's probably CQB safe, dependant on gas used. Still, I'd want to be using a LeeEnfield as a snipers rifle in woodland, so it'd need to be ~450 with +/- 1fps regardless of temerature, therefore no gas for me thanks.

Jesus - that's one hell of a requirement. I've rarely seen guns maintain such consistency. Most of the highest tuned ones I've come across, or made myself, will have a deviance of about 3 - 9fps. Fair play if you're achieving that little variance in your guns! Link to post Share on other sites
kojak Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 It's typical for a bolt action springer with good seals, and not unheard of for an AEG. Expanding gas power, not so much. Link to post Share on other sites

Habakure Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 The instruction manual that came with mine (well, I use the term loosely) said Iron airsoft. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 It saddens me that of all the great bolt actions, I never have had much with the MK3. There's just something about it that makes me want to hold one with "Insert awesome British marching tune" playing nearby. I think it has something to do with the front end, just really a fascinating design aspect (despite all the shortcomings that went with it). Make a springer with a better stock and I am sold. Seeing the evike spokesperson handling it makes me want to return to the home isles. ("Stickler for correctness my *albatross*") That orange paint is perhaps the worst I've seen.
