Ares SMLE No. 4 MK1 real wood 6mm BB with scope - Airsoft spring action

A Must Have for Every Collector of Historical Rifles!

The legendary Lee Enfield rifle is a British bolt-action rifle that has been used by the British Army and police forces in various forms for over 100 years. The variant No. 4 MK1 was introduced at the beginning of World War II in 1941, as it was more efficient and easier to mass-produce compared to the earlier SMLE variants (Short Magazine, Lee Enfield). The SMLE rifle is considered one of the best sniper rifles of World War II, as it combines modern features such as a cheek rest and a centrally mounted scope, ensuring excellent accuracy at combat range.

ARES CLASSIC LINE

Ares is now developing its own line of classic airsoft rifles.

The bolt-action rifle is now also available in the airsoft variant in caliber 6mm BB. It is a 1:1 replica of the British SMLE No.4 MK1 steel rifle. This airsoft weapon is made of 95% stainless steel with QPQ finish. The airsoft replica comes with a particularly high-quality real wood stock. The finish of the wooden stock and the metal parts is almost perfectly matched to the real rifle, with a deep and varied wood grain on the rifle and a smooth gunmetal finish on the metal parts.

For the shooting system, Ares relies on a spring pressure system, which allows the air pressure rifle to achieve solid performance. To shoot, you simply pull the cocking lever back like with the real weapon and then push it forward again. The air pressure rifle is now ready to fire. The magazine holds 35 6mm BBs. We recommend using a speedloader to fill the airsoft pellets. For the necessary precision, an adjustable hop-up is installed inside the airsoft weapon. This can be adjusted continuously. You can also adjust the rear sight (aperture) if needed, as it is an aperture sight with two different hole diameters. There is no thread at the front of the barrel, as no suppressor from the 1940s could dampen the power of the British .303 cartridge. Instead, the typical Lee Enfield Rifle No.4 front sight is mounted, which is protected on both sides by protective wings with circular cutouts to allow more light to fall on the front sight, making it easier to see during rapid firing.

The safety lever of the air pressure weapon is located opposite the cocking lever and can only be operated when the rifle is cocked. The safety can be quickly and easily operated with the thumb from the shooting grip and is also safely operable in wet weather thanks to its textured surface. For safe transport, you can attach a carrying strap (not included) to the sling mount on the rear stock and the bracket for attachment to the front stock.

Conveniently, the metal butt plate offers a flip-open compartment for a cleaning kit or similar items. Additionally, this version is delivered with the Ares Airsoft No.32 scope and the appropriate mount. The scope offers a threefold magnification and can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally.

The air pressure weapon is designed for right-handed users.
