A&K SVD CO2 conversion

[Shift]

So I was looking through E Hobby asia and I found this:

http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/accessories/conversion-kit/for-aegs/pas-co2-conversion-kit-for-aandk-svd-sniper-rifle.html

 

It came up all of a sudden and I haven't heard any prior news of it before.

 

I thought you russian gear guys might like this. I know my local AK lover will.

 

Please delete if this has already been mentioned else where.

$135 for a somewhat easier pull... I don't see too much of a point in this, now if it was a semi-auto drop in kit...

[adadqgg]

^Daytona gun can do it.

[Rob15]

If you watch the video the consistancy seems to be rubbish, one shot at 425fps and the next 550fps! Nice idea but in practice it doesn't look that great.

[Fighting Maus]

Would this fit the A to Z cargo SVD? I saw no need to purchase an A & K SVD which essentially is a clone of the A to Z.

 

Regarding the chrono results; I saw the varience as well, but out of 5 or so shots only the first was 450 or so. All the rest were in the 500s. Too hot for our field unfortunetly.

[L85FREAK]

Kind of cool, still wish it would make it semi auto though... As for consistency, it did seem fairly consistent after the first shot

[WhiteHawksan]

there was only a 7fps variance across the spread. I would like to see another couple of bulbs through it to see if its a first shot with EVERY bulb or just because it was an odd shot.

[ultimentra]

Will probably make reloading a pain if the bulb only lasts one mag.

[Wingmann]

Same gadget but green gas reloadable and with adjustable valve for that price, yes.

Since the CO2 is only used for shooting the bb and not on any blowback, I assume it should be sufficient for over a 100 shots or so.

Agreed.

 

Shot count will probably be better than tanaka users using 12 gram rigs.

 

 

[adadqgg]

I realized that this is probably for adding an external rig to A&K.

[helix]

I would like to think that the first shot may have ricochet inside the tube which may have caused the drop in fps for the first shot but remained consistent for the rest of the shots. Happened to me once using the same model chrony

 

As for the kit, seems to be an easy way to make a gas sniper. My question is how is the range and accuracy?

[SpecialistR]

Well hows the barrel/hop-up on the A&K?

The link hasnt worked for me so I dont know if it replaces the hop.

[Scout03]

This conversion looks good and consistent,

 

How ever i Hope they make a under 500fps Version

[wolfgeorge]

I think it's great upgrade first of all you get light bolt pull and high fps as for consistency I don't know what happenend to that first shot but the rest are very good with small variation between the shots

[Wingmann]

I'm yet to hear word about how to control the FPS on this. I have two theories: One using a softer main spring, two using a harder valve spring.

[LordElpus]

Might be able to do it by drilling some small holes in the nozzle so there is some air leakage.

wouldnt that make it a lot less consistant as the air would travel the path of lest resistance

[LordElpus]

the alternative is not being able to use it in the uk.

 

Honestly, you would be better off buying a tweaking a RealSword SVD over getting the co2 kit and a a&k svd.

 

or buy a archery finger guard and built up those arm muscles.

[Wingmann]

Once it's been disassembled, the internal spring opening the valve rests on two thick shims. Altering those alters the FPS. The less shimming the more FPS and viceversa.

 

Here's a video (in Spanish) but you can see the parts

Ill stick to my VSRs and possibly one of the new Snow wolf M24's (i have a type 96 piston lying about i think would fit into it)

The kit reminds me of my stock class paintball gun, so and change to the springs will change the FPS.

[Joker_IMPACT]

I am still trying to decide if this kit is worth it or not. It costs almost as much as the gun itself. And I have no issues pulling the bolt back at all as it is now. I would however like a little higher FPS but this SVD also takes regular AEG upgrade springs. So it might be easier and cheaper to just put a bigger spring in it. Sure it will be more difficult to pull the bolt back but you gain consistency.

 

I think i will hold off a little while until I see more videos of shots from this kit then make my decision to spend the money.

 

~Joker out....

[Wingmann]

A Systema 140 spring is more or less the same as the original, fps wise. If you want improvements you'd have to go above that.

 

I'm still working on a solution for the CO2 kit. I'll let you guys know.
