looking for a lee enfield can any one help.

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 · 21-09-2009 9:05pm

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

Puding · 21-09-2009 9:07pm

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 · 21-09-2009 9:10pm

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

J4MMY · 21-09-2009 9:17pm

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

Head_Hunter · 21-09-2009 10:31pm

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 · 21-09-2009 10:59pm

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 · 22-09-2009 10:41am

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?

6034073

Firekitten · 22-09-2009 10:57am

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 · 22-09-2009 11:48am

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 · 22-09-2009 11:52am

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 · 22-09-2009 12:28pm

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 · 22-09-2009 3:28pm

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 · 23-09-2009 8:50pm

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 · 23-09-2009 10:20pm

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

Would be pretty cool if you have.

Masada · 23-09-2009 10:29pm

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 · 24-09-2009 12:02am

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

Firekitten · 24-09-2009 11:12am

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 · 24-09-2009 3:24pm

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 · 24-09-2009 6:05pm

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 · 24-09-2009 6:07pm

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

Masada · 24-09-2009 6:14pm

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.
