I'm a pain for wanting stuff to "just fit" and I'm trying to find ways around modifying things.
Am wondering how well a PDI 6.05 would fair up with a PDI W hold 70 shore rubber.

You can get around that issue now with the new Super/Wonder buckings which no longer have the locating nubs.
As far as the PDI - I have no idea.
One thing I have learned about the SRS as a platform is that they're not all the same. What might work amazingly well in mine might be total shite as a set up in another one. Sadly the only way to find out is to spend a shit tonne of money on different bits and bobs until you find what's perfect for your rifle. On the plus side, you end up with lots of spares! ?

I have a PDI in my Fast Hop G-Spec with the FOW nub and drop-in R-hop patch. I’ve barely had a chance to try it but it does all fit together.

I run a Diamondback 3.5-10 x50 on mine.
Bloody lovely scope, but might feel a little big for the covert?
Very nice indeed, yes a little big I think (and beyond my budget for now) however I thank you all the same ?

No worries. They make smaller scopes too.
Just I'm blind as a bat, so need all the help I can get!

Waiting on a regulator and other CO2 components, but hopefully I’ll start to have answers early next year. I’ll update the thread when I do.
They’re not really intended to be a sniper’s scope, but I’ve found G&P’s ACOGs to have very superior glass compared to other airsoft-grade sights. I’ve had a couple of clone Leupold 3.5-10x40 Mk.IVs and compared to those my old G&P 4x32 really was extremely nice.
4x is really all you’ll need in airsoft (you'll miss faffing with adjustable magnification and focus a lot less than you think you will), you don't get the fish-eye that seems endemic to airsoft-grade adjustable-magnification scopes, and the sight is extremely compact and basically indestructible. They're heavy and the eye relief is unforgiving, but they’re really good optically. I replaced my G&P with a real TA01NSN, and while the Trijicon is a lot nicer and has things the G&P didn't (like tritium illumination) the G&P was excellent and entirely adequate for airsoft.
G&P make a few different models; I had GP-035 - pretty much the most basic one. £85 for the sight, plus £7.50 for a polycarbonate lens and £7.50 for a killflash to put the lens in gives you an extremely rugged and high-quality BB-proofed optic for £100 - not bad. If I recall correctly a VisionKing shortdot is about £60 plus the mount and a lens protector, so there's probably only £20ish in it.
If you want to see how the ACOG looks on the shortest possible SRS, let me know - I can get a picture of mine.

Not sure if you'd class it as too big or not but I run a Swiss Arms 3-9x50. About £60-70 from Amazon and I'v found it very clear for a cheap scope. Has held it's zero really well as well. Must have had a good 2-3 years trouble free use from it. It's sat waiting to go on the SRS now.
Oh you're HPA'ing! Nice. Yep please do let me know. PDI with a faceless patch and FOW is most likely the path I'd go down, just trying to feel out all of the options.

I have the attached on my covert. It's lovely. Glass is incredibly clear and the turrets make it very easy to adjust on the fly.

Get in...Covert 16".
Actually really like it (expensive mistake if I didn't... :lol: )
Temp 4x ACOG scope, hop-up's junk and has to go. Installed a W.A.S.P piston, Thumb stop on foregrip and a 2 point qd sling.
I did get a more powerful spring (110 newton) and it brings it upto 491fps with a steel sleeve on the cylinder and full air brake but it's really tough to cock so I'll look at getting another spring with a lighter pull but still keeping the fps up. Swapped the mag feeder for the dogs dick, comes with one in the box so it's just lazy they don't preinstall it. Air seals are good; did the finger over barrel test and the piston held it's ground till release. I'll ad a suppressor and print some custom baffles shortly.
Then probably get the rattle cans going... I'm a happy chappy overall. Thanks for the help.
