DualWieldNate Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Going further on what I said regarding the cheapsoft scope. If you have a Dremel and don't mind 5 minutes work you can make the scope fit better and what's more NOT dmg the top cover of your rifle. I can still screw out the brass section I've just ground quite a bit of it away. It's surprisingly soft and wasn't an issue for my Dremel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
docs90 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Has anyone yet to get a few tests with heavier weight bbs done with this svd ? before i jump the gun and buy one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DualWieldNate Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) How much heavier? I did 0.3s in my post a page or two back. Digicon Straights 0.3 did the following: 355.7 356.2 356.9 Edited August 19, 2009 by DualWieldNate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coldgunner Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I got something like 370ish with 0.4's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
docs90 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 And i assume the hop managed to move the bb in straight flight or did it drop like a stone from the sky ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 yeah, im looking for grouping numbers and total usable range with heavier bbs myself. dont have the money to get heavy bbs yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DualWieldNate Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Unfortunately my rifle dropped about 30fps from first trying it which I'm really gutted about. ~430/440fps atm aint worth using on the skirmish field and I've found no way of reliably upgrading it On a side not has anybody else had issues with their AGM POSPs? Mine only illuminated very briefly when I got it and since then I've bought new batteries and gotten nothing. The reticule is so thin that without illumination its virtually unusable.

lance201 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 anybody else problems with barrel wobble although the scrub screws are tightened? Lance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DualWieldNate Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I noticed barrel wobble last night but the screws did need tightening a touch. I've not skirmished with it yet so that will tell how stable it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Username_Here Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Unfortunately my rifle dropped about 30fps from first trying it which I'm really gutted about. ~430/440fps atm aint worth using on the skirmish field and I've found no way of reliably upgrading it My AtoZ was shooting right under 550fps/.20g and I believe the spring put in it was the Guarder M170. I don't if being in the UK means you can get high powered springs like that though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DualWieldNate Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Was that an normal AEG spring I take it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fallout Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I noticed barrel wobble last night but the screws did need tightening a touch. I've not skirmished with it yet so that will tell how stable it is. i skirmished mine yesterday and overall id say its got the range but the acuracy can be a bit random (goint to fit a 6.01) after the first half of the day i had to strip the frount and tighten the grub screws that hold the barrel in place and im also going to fit two more grub screws as the 2 on the virtical cant do the job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fallout Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 ok had the barrel out its 590mm long the reason for mine being so random about 15mm in there is about 4 small blisters in the barrel its a bit of a turd the road i walk down 1. cut the barrel 15mm shorter 2. buy a Prometheus 590mm 6.03mm barrel if i can find one 3. get the systema 6.04mm what you all think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kamigawa Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I think the Vanaras barrels are decent: http://rsov.com/index.php?target=products&...product_id=3649 (Not sure if the one I linked to will fit though...) New question: Has anyone tried Classic Army SVD magazines in the A&K SVD? I really don't like the whole concept of plastic highcaps in a marksman rifle :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fallout Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 looks like it will fit im thinking of getting the madbull v2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 get an EdGi custom barrel if your not getting a promy barrel. madbulls are ok, until they start to flake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trasher Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Spending $$$ on tightbores won't fix the wobble of the barrel assembly and the hopup/nozzle inconsistency... Don't expect much improvement in performance, if there will be any. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trasher Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 there is no barrel wobble its the outer barrel that moves. If there is no barrel wobble how the outer barrel can move? Or do you seriously think only the outer barrel wobbles, but not the inner? Point is, if any of you really want to improve accuracy, instead of buying useless inner barrel upgrades, please fix the outer barrel assembly and install a mechanism (a ball bearing and a spring for example) which will make sure the nozzle is always locked in the same position.

azsworst Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Sorry for an ignorant question, but searching hasn't yeilded any results. What hop up rubbers can you use? AEG? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Which location would you have this? Because on closer inspection to the hop unit and the section the nozzle goes into there IS a metal ball bearing with a spring pushing it down, there's a second grub screw near the hop which tightens the grub screw and thus the spring.

Don't expect much improvement in performance, if there will be any. i know you wont believe me, but i have fixed my barrel wobble. it doesnt move a tick. but your still right on the nozzle innefficiancy. im still working on a solution. there are always answers.
