From what I have researched its best to get a steel one, and then you need a few of cheaper modifications , The best conversation on the topic I have found thus far is this one

bit more of an update for you to laugh at apparently while excited during unboxing , I mistook kitchen baking paper for soviet waxed ammunition paper but hey I was excited hah. Video about an amazing hand made custom stock for the WE ACE

Yea I did join the airgunforums.co.uk searched for a specific post about a custom SVD project politely congratulated the person on the amazing job they did on a wooden stock mentioned my own project and was banned instantly for Spam. I do have a a lot to contribute, thanks for feed back. Also I would not say the modifications are exactly cheap. The Pidik Mancraft HPA engine £300 after post, and real soviet stock and hand rail guard are not cheap looking at £500 ALTHOUGH I got mine on etsy from a seller in Ukraine at the time of the Crimean annex which was a huge score, neither is a full steel billeted collector addition WE ACE SVD with increased power nozzle adapter from Hong Kong, HPA magazine mod, Custom Steel CNC bolt from Clutch precision, and Custom hand made wooden Stock and hand rail form air Soft Shien, but hey what ever , I am figuring it out on my own, thanks for piling up , and taking the P*ss out of me that was helpful. 🤗 I was looking to sell them once completed, as I have a client at the gym who is making me a 12 shot PCP to fit inside an svd frame , and i have purchased a scroll saw and some quality reclaimed wood to make my own stock. but forgive the naivety regarding my previous interactions at the forum. Thank you. I did find the Ace We stock maker that way , you are right. and yes the Pidik went in , its awesome. and to be honest i have alot to say but i am now afraid to comment more on the Co2 system and what happened with it lol

Every single time I have tried to engage with this forum I have been flatly ignored or told I need to be a higher rank to post etc. Last night I chose this section because it says above you can discuss non air soft it even says ( real steel shooting ) I was trying to warn people about a dodgy product. In no way was it advertising or selling , it was quite thr opposite, I was looking forward to some engagement on something that is extremely relevant and I know no one has yet seen pictures of regarding a dodgy company Hodge podging a&k svd air soft parts into a terrible non air soft product. And yes....my post is deleted does anyone new ever join or engage here it seems all a bit silly. On the whole I have had no support for my air soft projects in 8 years from this place . It seems to be a cult rather a community that welcomes anyone. I didn't even leave a link to the item and just merely suggested people Google it .

Hi I took the leap and purchased a full steel receiver WE ACE VD with wood stocks on the way. I want to know the best option for the longest full steel inner tight bore barrel upgrade, and if it should also have the bucking and hop up upgraded along with. Its going HPA via the magazine, I should mention Its really just for the replica aspect This will not be skirmishing when I plan to plink with it, it will be mostly used at 20 yards or so in a private plot at cans etc so I am looking for most velocity it will be going HPA and so on. I also have an A&K SVD with real Soviet 1960 SVD prototype wood stocks. The Mancraft Pdik hpa system on its way to me in the post. Which will be getting similar upgrades but I have found a steel 6.03 650mm barrel for around £24 which seems quite good. I was thinking of getting both to a great standard. I expect then I may keep one and sell the other once I decide my favourite

Hi everyone I have an A&K SVD purchased with the co2 cartridge mod cheapy £99 job , but it was originally a springer design. My valve has broken and just leaks all the co2 immediately (due to to many slams I guess!) Do you have to buy an entire new CO2 unit, or does anyone know if I can just buy the screw on head (valve part) and replace it to spend a bit less? its kind of a genius design in terms of the limitations they had to work with , but also crude and apparently self destructs after to long! I have purchased the Mancraft drop in engine and HPA setup for a nicer SVD But I would like to still have this little CO2 unit for my about SVD. Definitely do not want to waste £60 on a new one any tips let me know thanks so much

Thanks ? you won't believe what I'm trying to do next with this rifle haha. Sorry for late reply but goes to show ...I thank people who help out. It's only been 2 years lol

Hi guys and girls. I have been wondering for ages ! How the hell does this thing work. I own a A&K SVD with that Co2 gimmick that replaces a manual spring action. but for the life of me I can not see how pulling the trigger actuates that system. Its a mystery to me. You screw in a co2 bulb put it in the gun with that light positioning spring behind it. And for some reason after manually cycling ,it fires . But i can not see what activates the little cylinder there is nothing i can do to manually make it expel co2 and there seems to be nothing in the action ? God I would love to know what is happening to make this occur. There must be unseen connection,s associated with pulling the trigger obviously!. I really want to learn more about this stuff
