FireKnife Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Damn is that some red looking wood. I thought Lee Enfields where either very dark brown or a light yellowish-brown? 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Spudgun Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 It's looking good (I'm already drooling), but it's a MkIII* not a MKIII. The MKIII's had a mag cut-off and volley sights. MKIII's were produced from 1915 onwards, so the minor details are no biggie. The wood is way too red. My 1914 dated BSA de-act is a darkish brown with a hint of red. Link to post Share on other sites
atf343 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Now if they'll do something to make a No. 4 mk i/ii, or much better yet, No. 4 (T). Conversion kit or an entirely new gun? Who got this gas gun and are willing to do a review on it? Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Your 1915 is nearly a hundred years old, of course it's darker. Wood colour is easy to sort out anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 But from what I recall they never came in such a reddish colour. Light, yellowish brown fair enough amongst other finishes but have never seen a picture or reference to a red looking one. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Azubi Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Actually looks pretty disappointing from that video. Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Got to love airsoft. Spend years waiting / asking for someone to make a particular model and as soon as they do start complaining it's not good enough of it's the wrong model! Link to post Share on other sites

FireKnife Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 No point settling for rubbish! Yet if you look at some married couples so many people do . Still it would be nice to see it look and work better. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Pistol_Dude Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Looks nice! I wonder what it's going to cost? Anyone know? If this is a success, perhaps a No.4 will come along soon too.... Link to post Share on other sites
ToaDi Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 It's looking good (I'm already drooling), but it's a MkIII* not a MKIII. The MKIII's had a mag cut-off and volley sights. MKIII's were produced from 1915 onwards, so the minor details are no biggie. The wood is way too red. My 1914 dated BSA de-act is a darkish brown with a hint of red. During the First World War, the standard SMLE Mk III was found to be too complicated to manufacture (an SMLE Mk III rifle cost the British Government £3/15/-),[20] and demand was outstripping supply, so in late 1915 the Mk III* was introduced,[19] which incorporated several changes, the most prominent of which were the deletion of the magazine cut-off,[17] and the long range volley sights.[21] The windage adjustment capability of the rear sight was also dispensed with, and the cocking piece was changed from a round knob to a serrated slab.[21] Rifles with some or all of these features present are found, as the changes were implemented at different times in different factories and as stocks of existing parts were used.[22] The magazine cut-off was reinstated after the First World War ended,[21] and not entirely dispensed with until 1942. Still looks awesome, and at less than half the price of the KTW Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 If it has to be re-stained, so be it. But that doesn't bother me. What I am over the moon about, is the fact there's a firing prototype/final. Get in. Can't wait for this to be released. Link to post Share on other sites
ToaDi Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Another advantage is the removable mag, rather than the odd KTW internal affair which would slow reloads down badly Link to post Share on other sites
MarsdenH Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 http://www.evike.com/product_info.php?products_id=41725 I very much want, but only if I can get spare mags. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Has anyone bought this yet? Be great if a uk retailer got this in, or a shop at an airsoft site. . .? Link to post Share on other sites
