Lee Enfield BB "Rifle"

[Geezer]

Yes, like the Umarex Walther Winchester.

Guessing here, but are the Mosin (etc) variants of a 6mm plastic ball airsoft gun? That would explain a lot.

Good suggestion and despite the cloud of little or no information on the Net , suspect totally correct .
I was going to buy the Mosin , sold here by the same outfit as allegedly importing the item in question , and elsewhere ( here also but mainly US ) under the Gletcher brand - but - again ZERO info .
By that I mean real info - original manufacturer , spares parts listing .
Nada , zilch .
Only what Gletcher want you to read , and as for here in UK nowt at all .

Am I going to splash out £400 odd on a low power Co2 bb gun - possibly - but I like to know a bit about things to help make my mind up
Somewhere I heard that the customer comes first ...not in gun sales .

It is low powered and has a dodgy folding tool/bayonet attached to the barrel.

You can get it cheaper than £400 and I assume will have a years warranty.

I doubt you will be able to get spare parts.

It actually operates nicely and certainly smoother than the real one.

Available to play with in my two local gunshops.

Yes its got some good reviews - I have an issue of that Airgun Hobbyist with one article on this . Certainly interesting hence my interest .
The ref to £400 was the expected cost of the SMLE and also Kar98 being imported soon , sold by merchants such as Sportsguns .
Nobody has any info - I find that very odd .
If / when you are in your local two shops , can you see the box for the Nagant and relate to us any manufacturers details from the carton or the Owners Sheet ? ... again as with the others the maker who I and others believe to be the same , is an unknown mystery for the Nagant .
If the box says Gletcher or ... its not made by Gletcher .
All very confusing .

Zamak and imitation wood ie plastic. CO2 has its uses, but bbs are crap to shoot.

Sounds like a very expensive toy to me. If you want it for a wall hanger, you'd be better off with a decent a deact.

For 400 quid you can get a HW77 in a laminated stock - steel, wood, rifled barrel, spare parts readily available, and guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Even a half decent pcp.

Not many SMLE out there - that fire anything - unless you got an Fac that is .
The OP , myself and many others on this thread are waiting in expectation for new releases along these similar lines - K98 , Mosin , SMLE .
We are not at all concerned with the materials used nor in any opinions on the pedigree of such .
By nature most will be relegated to collectibles very quickly anyway .

The point I make is there is a total lack of transparency in who and where made , irrespective of the cost .
It irks that I and others will fork out the full RRP ( and we will ) for such when we don't even know who the maker is .

AirforceOne is simply a registered marketing name owned by TSP (The Shooting Party). Obviously they have deep enough pockets to slap the AirForceOne name on product they wish to market. If you look at their full lineup you note OEM products that are manufactured by Snowpeak China, Listone in Taiwan, Nova Vista from Macau and maybe a few others.

I am not 100% certain but I think this particular SMLE model may be manufactured by Listone as I recall seeing the Nagant model on their IWA 2017 profile.
