I myself have quiet a few of historical airsoft guns. Sadly most of them are only good for decoration. The other down side is it's usually hard to find upgrades for them. But nevertheless, they're cool to have!
I know that Ares has made a really cool Kar98k in the same series of those Lee Enfields. I hope they make a Springfield 1903 too, my personal favorite in Sniper Elite.
I’d like them to make a Vetterli rifle, Carcano or a Mannlicher M95. Really just any historical weapon they can, although I probably wouldn’t be able to afford any of them.
17:10 And you're forgetting the most awsome version next to the RWAs' , the one from KTW. That rifle looks astonishing and it should be a collectors item. As the Spring in it is pretty weak and there are hardly any spare parts available for it, incase you want to skirm with it.
Exactly… you’d think they’d have thought to make the proper magazine. Maybe they’ll figure it out if the L42A1 doesn’t sell and offer it as an aftermarket option. It would still be sellable to those who bought the other two versions since some (Ishapore mostly) were converted to 7.62 NATO.
I recently got mine and to tell you all... Its not that bad of a performer. Doesn't have the über performance of a VSR-10 but its certainly workable. And C'mon... Bolt is stiff? Really? Its not that stiff as the review says. It's just normal until your break the rifle in after firing it. The bolt is smooth to operate. Takes a bit of oomph but its not really that much. I have to say that its probably my best purchase of 2022 overall.
As well as using the same trades they didn’t change the mag well and mag on the 7.62 NATO L42A1 either. Bit strange on something touted as Museum Grade. I’m still excited to get my hands on one of these though.
They need to offer the 7.62x51 magazine as an aftermarket option at least. Can also be used with the basic version since some (mostly by Ishapore) were converted to 7.62 NATO
There’s also an extra screw on the receiver just in front of the bolt handle that shouldn’t be there. The scope is what makes the (T) version worth getting despite the screw and lack of serrations on the top of the hand guard… but as you said, Museum Grade???
Does Ares make scoped variants of the KAR-98K? I'll admit video games got me interested in these rifles, Sniper Elite 4 especially. Not to mention I've gotten into firearms the last few years, learning that WW2 surplus ammo is being price gouged to the moon. Good luck getting a decent amount of 8mm Mauser or .303 Brit.
It's ARES. No matter the externals I wouldn't trust it to perform without significant upgrades IF those parts are non-proprietary, available and assuming the whole system is reliable.... which is a massive and probably inaccurate assumption based on their track record. But it comes in a plastic gun case with a wooden texture!
It’s always the same with these historic guns. They charge a fortune for crap performance on a basic springer internally, because they know people want these and a few will pay…. I’ll stick to my S&T SMLE, only cost £299 and seems to perform better than this….
No they didn't, the Aussies never used the L42A1, they never even adopted the No4 Mk1, they continued to used the SMLE. The L42A1 didn't even enter British service until 1970, the No4T having remained in use as the sniper rifle until then.
@@TarnishUK In the late 1970s, a dozen L42A1s along with the CES were imported into Australia for Army trials. Two of those rifles "lost" their telescopic sights, and there were 10 complete rifles in storage at Randwick Barracks in the early 1990s. At some point soon after the rifles arrived in Australia, the Scout Regiment telescopes were removed from the chests, possibly for use by Army snipers who were then still equipped with No. 1 Mk III High Mount .303 sniper rifles prior to the eventual issue of the Parker-Hale rifle in 1982.
They need to offer the proper magazine for the L42A1 as an aftermarket option. Could be used with the basic No.4 MK1 as well since some (mostly by India) were converted to 7.62 NATO
I am nit sure it that bolt action is clanky, or you need to relearn you marksmanship principles but it doesn't look smooth. i would have liked to seen a close up on the blot release, the Canadian version was different from the UK version.
Can you give us a estimate of time of arrival for the MK4 scoped variant? It’s on pre order but don’t want to order unless I have a estimated time of arrival.
The dream Lee Enfield still hasn't come out L42A1 with proper magazine, and No.1 Mk.5 rifle(pick luxuary lee enfield). No.4 is too low-cost, No.1 Mk.3 has too long eye relief. CO2 powered, not springers. More accurate trigger shape. Stainless steel was a good shot, I appreciate it.
My enfield in 303 brit i paid 238$ canadian for it :D were these lol will cost more then a real enfield but for an old gun there still widly used and even shooting the real one its not so bad :)
Ridiculous price and seems kinda crap for performance. If S&T can make an Enfield for £250-300 which seems to shoot better than this, then Ares are taking the piss with a £700 price tag…
Issues right off the bat. They cost £650. You don't get a hex key to adjust the thing which is a massive red flag? why would they skimp out on that? Secondly they're both sniper rifles, why are the internals not built for 500 fps? Why does a Tac-41 cost £200 less but out-performs this by miles??? You're buying the external thats it. If you dont plan to hang this on your wall then do not buy full stop.
From what it looks like. That video appears to be taken prior to Irelands independence. And regardless, Ireland used the Lee Enfield as their primary rifle.
Its to do with the Irish UN force that went to the Congo in 1960, they took Lee Enfields with them. The scene of the Irish soldiers is from a film about the siege of jadotville where the irish were surrounded be central congo forces
@@jackal187 the Irish forces made extensive use of both the No.1 MkIII immediatly after independance and later the No.4 Mk.1 rifles prior to the adoption of the FN FAL so I'm not sure what you're getting your knickers in a twist about.

I buy my first Lee Enfield today 😃
Very heavy and good Quality,
I enjoy to shot with my new Lee Enfield 😄
Thank a lot
She is a beauty, love the look and considering getting one of these. Great vid Redwolf.

Unfortunately the magazine on the L42A1 is the wrong profile, the 7.62mm NATO mag being significantly different to the original 303 design.
Exactly… you’d think they’d have thought to make the proper magazine. Maybe they’ll figure it out if the L42A1 doesn’t sell and offer it as an aftermarket option.

Yes! We sell the ARES KAR-98K scoped and unscoped version, perhaps we could do a review on it too ;)
Yes I love the Lee Enfield
Please bring back the Airsoft Flintlock carbine

for this price 70m of range accuracy should be a standard

@@Armo1997 especially Ares making it, I really don’t trust their rifles
@@Armo1997 Me too, wish s&t made a n°4 :(
I'm waiting for the open bolt gas version might cost more but it will be worth it, The Australian Army used the L42A1 in Vietnam war.
Open bolt gas! It's a manual bolt action, not a semiauto 🤣

@@williamflowers9435 a dozen? Hardly general issue then. My previous observation stands.
Going to have to get both the L42 & No4 (T), my OCD won’t let me do otherwise!!
Say goodbye to your bank balance haha
They need to sell the proper magazine for the L42A1 as an aftermarket option .
Any manufacture full auto guns come at 1.8 to 2 joule.. sniper rifles 1.2 j to 1.4j😓

The sling is on upside down. The cleats face outwards away from the wood.
Se queste sono buone repliche storiche lo deciderà Master Dallas

The dream Lee Enfield still hasn't come out
L42A1 with proper magazine, and No.1 Mk.5 rifle(pick luxuary lee enfield). No.4 is too low-cost, No.1 Mk.3 has too long eye relief.
CO2 powered, not springers.
More accurate trigger shape.
Stainless steel was a good shot, I appreciate it.
Finally something we like, hehe.
So what about upgradability. Can springs be upgraded? What is the most powerfull spring it can hold?
Lookup T.N.T. in Taiwan. They had everything for my ARES K98, Alu Hopup unit with stainless Barrel and a M150 Spring including a steel spring guide.
My enfield in 303 brit i paid 238$ canadian for it :D were these lol will cost more then a real enfield but for an old gun there still widly used and even shooting the real one its not so bad :)
Im a left handed shooter can the cheek pads be flipped or are they right handed only?
Ridiculous price and seems kinda crap for performance. If S&T can make an Enfield for £250-300 which seems to shoot better than this, then Ares are taking the piss with a £700 price tag…
The genuine article doesn't have any spring tension on opening.
It's a "cock on close" mechanism.
May have missed this one but how does this compare to the S&T SMLE albeit that is a MK3 but I'm curious?
I have a S&T one and I think it's a mediocre gun.. Its only value is that it's an SMLE. We still don't have a perfect Lee-Enfield airsoft replica.
Shame the L42 has the wrong magazine type fitted to this rifle.
Ya'll should see if you can do a "Mad Minute" with the No4 Mk1?
That's a workout with this bolt
How much? When? Internals? Wood or fake wood? Does it way the same as real?
Your telling me. They want you to pay insane amounts and don't bother giving you a small cheap tool to adjust their feature?
Ah, the "dinner bell".
What’s the point of this video if your not gonna answer any questions we have??😑
Collars are flat enough to have been ironed by a steam roller, definitely a former cadet.
£650 in its homeland 😭😭😭😭😭
Mmm it's Ares, a well known company for making crap and stupid complicaed replicas, so HELL NO!
Then you didn't hear about Amoeba series...
