Initial Impressions of the NPO AEG SR-3M


Recommended Posts

Ok. Lets start with the description of the gun's externals

 

 

 

First you get a label on the trigger guard with some test shooting results made by NPO. In my case they say its muzzle velocity is 112 mps and I have no idea what 118 stands for (it definitely should be the one with suppressor with additional inner barrel attached)

The frontguard and foregrip are made from very strange polymer which is not too hard, but looks a bit strange, I'd say in Russian style (made by the axe as we say)

On the left side of the gun on the sights mount plate we can see the name of the manufacturer which is AEG in Cyrillic and 6mm stamped signs.

The gun from the right side - It's pretty strange the cocking lever/ejector doesn't have a spring so it doesn't come back after you move it back. The number BM - is universal for all NPO AEG products I suppose, then the numbers mean 161-the number of a particular airsoft gun, 13 - YOP.

Interesting enough the gun is very stable of the falt surface in pretty much any condition what makes me think it has a perfect weight balance

Rear sight is not adjustable and locked at "2" mark

With the front vertical handguard the gun still can stay by itself on the flat surface

The 'polymer' appears to be resin. Interesting that they've switched to machined serial numbers, mine is hand-engraved. Very 'Russian style,' as you put it. It looks like the video shows some feeding issues - the magazines need some attention and a good smack sometimes, BBs will get hung up inside of them.

Thanks for the review.

 

Quote "It's pretty strange the cocking lever/ejector doesn't have a spring so it doesn't come back after you move it back."

There is a spring an a spring guide that need to be installed to have the system working. Strange that it was not installed out of the box (maybe a friday assembly gun ...)

 

Please also add that this version without gearbox is also available, therefore you can install wathever quality gearbox you wish. And with a little work you can install a 11.1 Lipo within the hand-guard (PAS 11.1 1100 15C)

 

On mine, the marking is also hand-made for the serial number, the other numbers are stamped. And yes, you need to put some silicone oil in the mags, before having them performing adequately.

 

The overall quality is nice (same with the NPO AS-VAL which differs only by the front part -handguard, silencer blocking system, silencer and battery location).

Tried to find out the problem with absence of full auto mode - wrote an email to guys from NPO. They answer was in style "please make sure your computer power is turned ON"... After alignment of selector lever and selector plate on the gear box the gun made several bursts and successfully died as you can see on this video

I bet it can be a common problem, but again paying $1300 for the gun and facing with such a stupid things makes you desperate!
