PlasticMag Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 http://www.renegaderecon.com/recon_details.php?id=499 Looks like Renegade Recon confirmed the rumor of a spring SVD! Priced at around $1,000 US for a complete build with magazines costing around $30 apiece this is certainly no budget springer! It shoots at around 285fps with .2g BBs stock, but as it is being produced by Head1950/KM in conjunction with a Korean comapny there will no doubt be parts available to top the 500fps barrier. Is it worth the money? Debateable. Link to post Share on other sites
sp00n Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 The words "over priced" and "mega over priced" come to my mind. Seriously, they couldnt spend the exta 1.50$ to engineer a gas system for it so it would at least be semi-automatic like its real steel counterpart? For 1000 dollars it better shoot 500fps out of the box if you ask me. Link to post Share on other sites

kronic Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 The wood looks like it's off a £7 springer. Some mindless fool will buy it though. Link to post Share on other sites

Cinder Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 If its made for Japan that means its mostly plastic and under 300fps, I'll take my metal MK11 MOD.0 shooting at 4.3j, God I love America! Link to post Share on other sites
Longhairedhippy Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 If I ever meet anyone dumb enough to buy one of these, i'm gonna deck him. really, just $200 more scores you the gas powered G&P version made from a real gun. Link to post Share on other sites

x239 Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 1000 dollars for that, my god. I have nothing else to say but In order to even consider buying that you would have to have no idea of the importance of money and not be able to tell when something is to expensive for it's own good, a bit like david beckhams christmas shopping list.

Don_R_Luigi Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 If they wanted to make me cry then mission accomplished! its not a proper SVD if its not semi-auto. didnt KTW make a expensive shotgun M37 i think and some Korean company made a $150 copie, I hope thats the case with this over priced P-O-S, I would of got it if it was £150 and was only a springer My Kingdom for a SVD Link to post Share on other sites
outlaw Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Very interesting. I really wonder what they plan to accomplish with this? Especialy when you can just slap a long barel on your TM and pretend with better results than buying this... Wait! what if it can take a drop in v3 brilliant! Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 It looks bad. It looks bad. It looks bad. Plus it's pricey. Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Its probably just pricey to us though. Surely in the far east airsoft guns are must cheaper becuase they arent posted half way round the world with tax added on? Link to post Share on other sites

kronic Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 its not a proper SVD if its not semi-auto. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well yes and no. Real SVDs have a gas cut off on their gas tube, which enables for single shot. Very interesting. I really wonder what they plan to accomplish with this? Especialy when you can just slap a long barel on your TM and pretend with better results than buying this...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Then you have the uglyest SVD ever, save your money. did anybody notice the date that the news article was actually posted on <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes i did, but did you notice the date of the original news article? Plus thats far far too much effort for a joke.... Who'd plan that a month before, and bother to build a replica. If they did what did they base the replica on? I'm not for this idea, it's awful.

kronic Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I'm afraid not. Although after a month of this hitting the shelves and not selling, the manufactures are going to wish it was. Link to post Share on other sites
Shin_Kudo Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Don't know about that.... Judging by the appearance, they sell one and have paid off the project! Link to post Share on other sites
Don_R_Luigi Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 If I was really desperate for this the most I would pay would be $300USD, I wonder if the Korean company would make a cheap knock off of it, least you would get a reasonable replica of a SVD Link to post Share on other sites
