Did you find out an approximate msrp? I'd assume around the same price of the 1903/k98 they made and I am assuming this enfield is gas?

Very clever. Hard to tell but I am assuming like the real Enfield it holds ten rounds. It would be quite the oversight if it just loads five?

It may be less of an oversight and more of a lack of technological ability to make it ten rounds. Still though, this should mean that people can use appropriate pouches for once for their bolt actions without having to modify their pouchs or hide extra mags/speedloaders in other pockets

If I remember well “clip capa” is 9bbs, the bolt and some other internal and external parts should be steel.
No idea on price, but hope it won’t be much above their M1903/Kar98k.

With an airsoft, bolt action rifle 9 rounds is probably plenty. Typically if you are up against full auto and semi auto rifles at airport ranges you will get eliminated before you get off nine shots. If the mix of rifles is limited to semi auto rifles with only a few full autos and everyone (except the crew served MGs) have low Cal mags the booties get more competitive and the gameplay gets a lot more interesting😂. I love seeing more and more boot actions on the field and enjoy the challenges of fielding one myself.
The loading process on this looks quite cool and the authentic looking clip is a real cool enhancement. On an actual Lee Enfield the 10 round instead of more common five round capacity in the Mauser, Springfield, Mosin Nagant and Arisaka along with its butter smooth action gave it quite the edge vs other boot action rifles of the day.
It is so cool that this rifle is available. If it proves to be a good shooter and reliable I will need one for my armory. The rifle has been iconic through so many wars an era. Friends recently back from the sandbox way they are still fairly commonly in use by the locals in Afganistan.
The point is this replica could work for a myriad of impressions.

Yes, I'm back, haha.
I'm really happy to see this, but I'd wish it was the SMLE. Could have been used for more impressions. Early-war and ANZACs didn't have the No.4. But hey, at least its a step forward.
