Robot 2000 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Since playing Max Payne 2 I refuse to use an SVD that ISN'T semi auto Link to post Share on other sites
The Kop Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Sorry but I just HATE the idea of turning the SVD into AEG. WHAT A WASTE. looked like a GBB SVD can only happen in my wet dream. Link to post Share on other sites
TDS Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 but its electric X[ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Madbull 470 gearbox with some mods I'm designing can fix that real fast Link to post Share on other sites
BakaBox Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Which is a good thing.. since the real SVD is also semi auto.. so electric would work best (Gas would also work.. except if they screw it up, for example like in the G&P SVD) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What was screwed up with the G&P version? Escort internals in a real steel body. The only thing it lacked was hop up. Sorry but I just HATE the idea of turning the SVD into AEG. WHAT A WASTE. looked like a GBB SVD can only happen in my wet dream. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And the G&P is your answer. A GBB SVD. Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing it lacked was hop up. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> as per the unconventional airsoft guy, it requires so much maintence for sub-par performance its a complete waste as a scirmishing gun.

Tinkerton Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 to be honest, i'd rather have an electrc semi auto one too, but i think to be hoenst i'll get the spring version first, just so i have one, then i'll wait and see what the VCR does to everything....

And the G&P is your answer. A GBB SVD. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Erm brass internals. Hold no where near enough gas to use. So expensive for such an under performing gun. If i pay $1000+ for a gun i atleast want a hop up. Read up on it to find out what it needs to be a decent skirmishable gun. Link to post Share on other sites

kronic Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Any other day i'd go for the AEG SVD. However i really want a bolt action/non automatic sniper rifle.. so i'm going for the springer. Link to post Share on other sites

RDM_Jon2 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 If you are talking about the King Arms SVD, www.RedWolfAirsoft.com just put it up for sale for 519 USD. Don't know how much that is in the UK... Link to post Share on other sites
Samm Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 £297 at the moment, ###### the dollar has gone up... Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 well, it IS the same as the KM one, so in that respect, AD were the first to stock them (damn you swifty), Z1 are stocking them now, but BOTH of those shops are hideously overpriced. best bet so far is either Den trinity, or red wolf.

p0t4T0 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 What SVD to get :| I'm probably going to get the KM and then like big dave said get the electric version dependant on the VCR. Link to post Share on other sites
Black Knight Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I think KM has done a rather good job with their "springer"-SVD. The gun is completely made out of aluminium or brass, apart from the plastic stock and handguard and some little parts(hop-up rubber, etc.). It can take a normal AEG spring, hop-up rubber and barrel. Barrel lenght is 590mm, so a PSG barrel fits nicely. Although there is no point in changing the barrel, as it's a tightbore one already, in a stock gun. Without the grey teflon coating, though. Only bad points come from the operation of the safety and the hop-up. Safety's return spring is a stiff one, so the safety clicks back from "fire"-setting to "safe"-setting too easily, when the gun is shaken a bit, witch, of course, happen a lot when you run around the forest with it..=). I addressed this problem by glueing a bb on the underside of the selector lever. Now it stays in place perfectly. The stock hop-up is pretty bad, but I installed a CA hop-up rubber and changed the stock hop-adjustment skrew for a little bigger one(had to make the standard M3-skrew to a M4-one) and now the hop works fine. Another thing worth mentioning is, that there are no tune-up kits available for the SVD at the time I'm writing this. The stock gun shoots about 300 fps, out of the box, and the stock internals can handle an M130-spring with no problems, but since I'm planing on using stiffer springs, I'd like the internals beeing made from steel. Fortunately the internals are quite simple, so I toke measurements out of them and turned towards my local machine shop. Still remains to be seen, what they come up with, though..

Paco Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Really cool...but spring operated!!! I've seen some nights ago the gas opereted one on G&P web site, but don't know pricing!! BTW, spring or gas operated rifles aren't best choice for skirmishing. In particular gas ones during winter are quite uneffctive (cold gas doesn't work)!! Last but not least....$519,00+postage for a spring rifle???It's too much!!! Link to post Share on other sites
p0t4T0 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Most rifles are spring operated, and they are good for skirmishing with. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 yup, in fact, every single gun thats not run on gas is spring operated.... Link to post Share on other sites
