Tested by Ed

If I was buying them again, I would go for the N4 SD 100%: for $50 over the standard N4 you get more rail, the integrally suppressed look, and an ESO tracer unit that normally costs $80-100, which I think is a very, very good deal. On the stock magazine it chronoed 367-377 FPS on 0.25g BBs and was super super consistent, but the included Double Eagle mag would not feed for me, a previous Double Eagle mag leaked very quickly, and their mags run very hot, so I would run Guns Modify or TM mags instead. The feeding problems on my older N4 came from my own aftermarket bolt weight and nozzle, so my tip is: do not mess with the stock bolt. Double Eagle have nailed their build quality, and at about $350-400 from Hong Kong these are very, very affordable MWS gas blowback platforms, so should you buy one? Basically yes.

At $400 with an eShooter Flare Mono tracer included in the integrated suppressor, I think the Double Eagle Noveske N4 NSR SD is a pretty great buy. It's probably the first gas blowback I've ever seen that comes with a tracer out of the box. The fatter handrail feels a lot more comfortable than my older N4, and the trigger is light with a definitive break. This is just an unboxing, so I'll do a full review after trying it out, with planned upgrades like a heavier buffer weight, new inner barrel and hop rubber.

Problems he hit

Included Double Eagle mag would not feed in the N4 SD: half-feeds, double feeds, cracked BB; Guns Modify, VFC and TM mags worked fine · 15:24
Earlier tan Double Eagle stock mag (with the N4) started leaking very quickly · 18:32
Upgraded N4 stopped feeding; traced to Ed's aftermarket bolt weight and nozzle missing the BB pickup tab; fixed by swapping in the N4 SD bolt carrier group · 21:22
FDE paint scratches quite easily (Ed unsure about black) · 10:46
Tracer unit end piece was only glued on and popped off during unboxing, leaving glue residue · 07:41

Caveats

  • Ed gives no numeric scores; all scores are inferred from his qualitative statements.
  • New model's name is inconsistently transcribed ('NSRD', 'NSR SD', 'SNSR SD'); recorded as N4 SD.
  • The N4 tested was upgraded (inner barrel, hop bucking, Bavac Zet plate, aftermarket bolt weight/nozzle); its feeding failures reflect Ed's mods, not stock - Ed says new buyers won't have those issues.
  • No accuracy or range testing in this video.
  • Prices are Hong Kong retailer (Octagon) prices; Ed says the N4 SD is not currently available in the US.
  • Later chrono readings occurred amid bolt and mag swaps, so per-replica attribution of those numbers is uncertain.
  • Unboxing only; no chrono, accuracy, reliability, or gas consistency testing performed in this video
  • All scores are inferred from Ed's qualitative comments; he gave no numeric ratings
  • Price stated as '$400' with currency not explicitly specified
  • Model name transcribed inconsistently in the transcript (N4 NSR SD / N4S / NSD)
