S&T Armament Lee-Enfield SMLE No.1 Mk III – Bolt-Action Airsoft Rifle, Real Wood

S&T Armament Lee-Enfield SMLE No.1 Mk III – Real Wood Bolt-Action Airsoft Rifle

A British military classic brought back to life with genuine wood, metal construction and authentic bolt-action operation.

The S&T Armament Lee-Enfield SMLE No.1 Mk III recreates one of the most recognizable military rifles of the early 20th century. Designed as a 1:1 scale airsoft replica, it combines traditional wooden furniture, substantial metal components and a manually operated spring mechanism.

Rather than relying on batteries, gas or electronic systems, this rifle delivers the deliberate shooting experience of a classic bolt-action design. Every shot requires the operator to cycle the bolt, making it particularly appealing to historical airsoft enthusiasts.

Inspired by the Legendary British SMLE

The original Short Magazine Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk III entered British military service in 1907.

Chambered in .303 British, the original rifle featured a ten-round magazine and a distinctive bolt-action mechanism. It became closely associated with British and Commonwealth soldiers during the First World War and continued to serve during the Second World War.

S&T recreates its recognizable silhouette, traditional wooden stock and characteristic external details in an airsoft format.

Genuine Wooden Furniture

The rifle features real wooden furniture, rather than plastic imitation wood.

The traditional full-length design gives the replica its distinctive appearance and provides a natural texture when handling the rifle.

Individual examples may vary slightly in wood grain and colour, adding to their character.

For collectors and reenactors, genuine wood is one of the model's most important features.

Metal Barrel, Bolt and Trigger Assembly

The rifle combines its wooden furniture with substantial metal components.

These include the outer barrel, bolt assembly, trigger mechanism and magazine.

The STSPG19RW version also features a black oxide-style finish on the metal parts, contributing to its historically inspired appearance.

Manual Spring-Powered Bolt Action

The SMLE uses a spring-powered bolt-action mechanism.

Before each shot, the operator must manually cycle the bolt to cock the internal spring and prepare the next BB.

This design offers several practical advantages:

• No battery or charger required.

• No gas or CO₂ cartridges needed.

• Traditional manual operation.

• A deliberate, single-shot shooting experience.

• No electronic firing system to configure.

The rifle features a functional safety and fires one BB per completed cocking cycle.

Steel Cylinder and Metal Trigger Mechanism

The STSPG19RW version is described as featuring a steel cylinder and a metal trigger assembly with a 90-degree piston engagement design.

These components form part of the spring-powered mechanism.

They provide a serviceable foundation for the rifle, although compatibility with aftermarket upgrades should always be checked individually.

Adjustable Hop-Up

The rifle includes an adjustable Hop-Up system that controls BB backspin and helps optimize the flight trajectory.

On the documented STSPG19RW version, Hop-Up adjustment is performed using a sliding control near the rear sight.

The inner barrel and Hop-Up bucking are described as compatible with the VSR-10 standard, offering some potential for maintenance and upgrades.

This does not mean that the complete internal mechanism is interchangeable with a standard VSR-10 rifle.

Traditional Adjustable Iron Sights

The replica retains the classic mechanical sight arrangement associated with the original Lee-Enfield.

The adjustable rear sight supports traditional aimed shooting without requiring a modern optical sight.

This is particularly suitable for historical airsoft scenarios where period-appropriate equipment is preferred.

35-Round Metal Magazine

The included detachable metal magazine holds 35 BBs.

Its external design complements the rifle's historical appearance while providing more airsoft ammunition capacity than the original firearm's ten-round magazine.

Replacement magazines should be selected specifically for the compatible S&T Lee-Enfield model.

Realistic Dimensions and Weight

According to the supplied product information:

• Overall length: 1113.5 mm

• Weight: 3570 g

• Scale: 1:1

The combination of genuine wood, metal parts and substantial weight makes the rifle especially appealing for historically inspired equipment.

Historical Airsoft and MILSIM

The Lee-Enfield SMLE No.1 Mk III is particularly well suited to First World War and Second World War British and Commonwealth-inspired loadouts.

Its traditional bolt-action operation encourages a more deliberate style of play, with careful aiming and manual reloading between shots.

It is also an attractive display piece for collectors interested in classic military rifle designs.
