Spring powered, 26 round magazine, reliable manufacturer, a dream come true.

Anyone else glad they didn't by the KTW type 38 carbine?

I've fired a bullet on every continent. Nearly hit someone, too.

Probably following the same internals as their M1903 Springfield...?

Still waiting for a springer K98!

My guess is it's based off the M1903's internals, so hopefully shares the same magazines, S&T appear to deliberately avoid making RIFs competitors already sell, which is a shame, I still want a spring Mosin that doesn't use that awful Zetalabs string-pull mechanism. :(

From the picture it looks like it might take a vsr 11 style mag,if you zoom you can see the mag well under the rear sight.

I might have to order a few bits from hikishop, also fingers crossed that they do a No1 Mk3 Lee Enfield.

It would be great if they could design mags that fit the period pouches too... :giggle: (pipe dream, I know, I know...)

Handsome looking beast from the pictures, wood will need refinishing but most of us on here have come to expect that by now I'd assume. Delivery date got pushed back to December and Evike offered me a refund on my pre-order,. It has gone from an early Christmas present to myself to a regular Christmas present to my self :)
