Just like the real thing, the upper components of the MB-08A including the receiver and barrel use full alloy construction, whilst to keep the weapon light and maneuverable the stock has been manufactured from polymer.

The weapon features a top 20mm RIS / RAS rail for attaching a range of sights and scopes, being long enough to accommodate even the biggest scopes.

The weapon's outer barrel utilises a fluted design, where external material has been precisely cut away to both reduce weight and improve its aesthetic. 

For safety features, the MB-08A has a two-stage trigger and trigger lock next to the bolt. The MB-08A features a Hop-up unit, which is adjustable via an Allen key in front of the magazine well, on the underside of the weapon. The stock of the rifle is based on the newer and improved L96 stock, which has a range of design improvements. The stock can fold sideways, reducing the weapon's overall length and making it easier to transport and store. The butt pad and cheek rest are length and height adjustable respectively, allowing users to alter the weapon to be comfortable to use.

A rear monopod is located just under the cheek rest, and is intended to ensure that when the rifle is fired from a prone position users have the best possible and most stable platform. The weapon also has a range of sling mounting points, with left and right sling mount points on both the front and rear of the gun. A universal bipod mount point is located at the front of the stock, allowing users to attach a wide range of Airsoft bipods. 

Straight out of the box the MB-08A has great performance, capable of consistent and reliable shooting. Internally the weapon is compatible with a wide range of aftermarket components, making it a great platform for Airsoft snipers who like to tinker with their rifles and upgrade them for improved performance. 

The MB-08A is the perfect purchase for both new and old Airsoft snipers alike, offering an Airsoft replica based on a truly legendary real-world design, in an Airsoft platform with some unique features and which can be upgraded for even better performance.

To buy an airsoft weapon in the UK you must have a valid airsoft defence.

This is not a licence, it is basically just proof that you intend to buy an airsoft weapon for use in airsoft.

An airsoft defence could be a UKARA or membership with the British Airsoft Club, and various other forms of defence.

You can only obtain an airsoft defence once you are over the age of 18.

To get an airsoft defence the law is that you should play at least 3 games of airsoft, and that you must have been playing for at least two months.

You can still buy an airsoft gun without a defence, provided you are 18 or older. If you choose to do this we would, by law, two tone (paint in a bright colour) parts of your chosen weapon. This is because an airsoft gun is considered a RIF aka Realistic Imitation Firearm, because they are so close to the real steel, whereas when you paint parts of it in a bright colour it becomes an IF aka Imitation Firearm. The reason being that the bright colours make it look less realistic to the public, and therefor less likely to be mistaken as real, were it to be used for any other purpose than airsoft.

When you order a gun from us you will need to add your defence details in the comments section of the cart. If you do not have a defence you will need to write the colour that you wish to be used for two toning your airsoft weapon.

Here is what's stated in the VCRA (Violent Crime Reduction) Act:

For airsoft skirmishing, the Association of British Airsoft is putting in place arrangements to allow retailers to check that individual purchasers are members of a genuine skirmishing club or site. The key elements of these arrangements are:
1. new players must play at least 3 (three) times in a period of not less than two months before being offered membership
2. membership cards with a photograph and recognised format will be issued for production to retailers
3. A central database will be set up for retailers to cross-check a purchaser’s details
4. member’s entry on the database will be deleted if unused for 12 months.
The defence for airsoft skirmishing can apply to individual players because their purchase of realistic imitation firearms for this purpose is considered part of the “holding” of a skirmishing event.
