lee enfield wanted

J4MMY

looking for a lee enfield can any one help.

Leftyflip

I don't think you can get an airsoft Lee Enfield, I haven't seen one, it's something I'm interested in myself though.

J4MMY

i saw one in a magazine but it was an english one

Puding

airsoft lee enfields are extremely rare and i do not know of one in the uk, there are two options for the enfield, you have ones based on the vsr/bar 10 from a small workshop but they seem to be a little bit of a rogue outfit

your best bet is a company called shot and scoot in the uk, they use parts form the real lee enfield but your looking at close to 500euros for one

Flecktarn

A few Lee Enfields here but as Puding said they are €500>

J4MMY

holy crap!!!!!!!!!!! thats alot of mula

Head_Hunter

Some very nice looking stuff on that website .

I hear the chinese will be making a bunch of WW2 rifles soon, so keep an eye out for those

Firekitten

There WILL be a number 3 or number 4 enfield coming soon... my man in the Kong has been looking under doors again...

The_Joker

Ah the ol .303 (elephant gun) one of my all time favourites in real steel
Wouldn't mind getting my paws one
Who is making the airsoft version?

Firekitten

well for a measly 400 stirlng Shoot and Scoot make that one you linked...

The chinese one is very hush hush.

400 sterling for something that'll probably give all sorts of trouble!
I'd rather pay €500-600 for a chinese one that works.

Firekitten

Not really.. the shoot and scoot is actually quite nice... based on aps2 internals.

and the chinese wont even be a fraction of the cost of the s&s

€200e max most likely

The_Joker

I've had shoot n scoot stuff before & I'd still prefer a lot of the chinese stuff (food included) they know what they're doing.

Just because the price is higher doesn't mean the quality is.

Firekitten

Wow... First time i heard that! And finally imo.

Ah you're young yet you'll probably hear loads more that you've never heard before

Anyway back on topic, anyone any idea when a new asian version is coming out?

zero19

It's been mentioned on arnies quite a bit, i'd imagine it's not too far off though, hopefully there won't be any kar98k style shell loading sillyness

I still remember the 'bad old days' when cyma spelt crap, and chinese guns were looked on with scorn... *feels old*

thermo

another option would be to get a repro lee enfield and put a a airsoft sniper rilfe into the body,,,,,,,,,,,,,, just a thought! :cool:

Stercus Accidit

Mr. Slick with his sunglasses here, have you done that?

Would be pretty cool if you have.

Masada

There was a load of model guns for sale at the Salute show and im pretty sure i saw a Lee Enfield. You could shoe horn an M14 gearbox or something in there. Maybe even one of those Gas bolt conversions for the L96/VSR.

Full auto lee enfield?

Burn the heretic!

Masada

lol., i never said anything about full auto, justadding a gearbox.,

Firekitten

no room for an m14 gearbox really... and the gas bolts wouldnt work, unless you heavily modified a vsr reciver (L96 just isnt practical), the shapes are all wrong really, it would be a hefty project best done on a deact for sturdyness... however then you hit legal grey areas of reactivation (making it fire something again)... Those models were nasty... the enfield was balsawood!

Masada

Id get an M14 gearbox into that no problem,.
It would take some minor shaping of the inside receiver but it has the space there., the model gun comes with a RS magazine and there would be very little work involved in sticking a mag inside the RS one with some epoxy or thermal plastic.

The model is also a rock solid peice, comparable with the real thing and a lot sturdier than your average airsoft gun.

Going the bar 10 route would be my preference amd would be easier since the bolt carrier is similar diameter to that of the spring assembly of the bar10. there would need to be a trigger group from the bar 10 installed in there too but thats pretty easy. the only thing that could be a problem is lining up the trigger with the guns existing one. this could be dont similarly to the way they've done the M99 Barrett though.

However with the enfield, you dont have the space to have a second trigger essentially.. and its needed where it is due to the reciver, THOUGH, you can probably cut the trigger down, and attach a small bar to the stub, but id worry about its integrity....

As for the m14 box... I remain skeptical, you could fit one, but it wouldnt look like an enfield, Also, the magazine isnt meant to come off... and wouldnt be far enough forwards for it... the vsr method would be best, though its entirely irelevant for it as its coming out soon...

And a m14 gearbox is heretical in a BOLT ACTION weapon.

Masada

As I said, the Barrett M99 method could be used for the trigger group. Very simple concept. I could build that in my shed in an hour,.:)

Firekitten

Like I said... There's no point now... work on that concept for something that's not due out soon

Masada

There's been no confirmation of a Chinese one, like a lot of other airsoft rumours it may never materialize., If it was my kinda gun I'd get a model gun and convert it.,

AFAIK it was Doc or Lemming that has posted such a statement in the newcomers section several times. DE UMP = 89, CA 36 = ~300(I think). UMP wins hands down.

Trust me Richie dear, its deffinately real, whether you've heard it 'confirmed' or not.

The Ca36 would be my choice though... My point is however, most people seem to 'slag' off clones as by default worse... Not that it was the literal first time *sigh*

Masada

If it's confirmed the link us to it, simple.,

for now it's just a rumour and as the way things work, even if there's some truth in it, you can often be waiting a stupidly long time for it, ala M60

Firekitten

If you say so, it must be true.

bullets

I read someplace that there was cheapish SLME coming
out in the near future. I'd love one too.

Always have been meaning to save up for a shoot n scoot
Bren or Enfield but never managed to quite get there.
And the website aint too great and re-assuring when it comes
to ordeing spare mags and parts etc.

If there is a cheaper Chinese version it may prove
to be popular here since we used the good ol .303 that gave
a giraffe's love bite to some people.

Magnum

We used to have the real ones back in 88, I would'nt mind an airsoft version

thermo
