How long do they tend to last nowadays? I've considered buying bios, if only for the occasional site that requires them. But I go through ammo so infrequently I'd be concerned about it sitting open and unused for months and then coming back to it.

Have you had chance to Skirmish with the WE one? What are they like, performance wise?

I have to say, I've only done a couple; both by the lightfighter crew back in the day and really enjoyed the Halloween events! Pistol & shotgun only, which made things much more interesting, some cracking design and thought put into them and overall just great fun! Can't speak for any these days though; last one was about 2008/9

Without tools, then I think you still can, providing you lack sausage fingers, but it's definitely more of a challenge. I've been using a small screwdriver just to make it easier, as Zarrin says.

I thought a photo would be of use to those interested. A bit more awkward to adjust than the normal hop unit however.

Well I had a bit of a shit day all in all, but one of the few decent bits was getting to test the new hop in the AK. It works, but perhaps *too* well if anything! I had to have it set to Minimum hop, with a 4uantum and using 0.32s to not get significant over-hop. Otherwise it seemed absolutely fine however, and worth the fairly low price.

Are these a new release, or are they just what LCT AKs come with as standard?

I should hopefully be going shooting this weekend, so fingers crossed it's running ok paired with a 4uantum bucking!

I've had the same thought as you, and decided to take the plunge. I installed it into one of the Raven AK74s which have a similar, if not directly copied design from the later CYMA AK models. It was a little tight compared to the lonex Hop unit I had in previously but it did fit and feed fine. I've yet to actually skirmish with it, so I can't tell you how it actually performs but it does at least fit and feed ok.

Wasn't that the Alpha spetsnaz? The beta was just the generic mass produced version with the stock.

I've got to put this one in before someone else does. Yes, it's old. Yes it's not commonly seen anymore. But no way could you really say it's £800 worth of rare. 🙃

Just being out in the Rain isn't going to damage your AEGs, just keep the barrel pointed downwards so no rain gets inside, and make sure to dry it off at the end of the day.

Wrong section. This should be in the sales area.

Ahh ok, that's my bad then!

Saw this cracker through a Facebook advert 🤡

To be honest, if you've got a vehicle big enough (or you hire one), then it might be worthwhile just booking a stall or two and taking it to the Midlands Airsoft Fair in October. You can sort it into complete guns, and parts etc. and just let people dig through it at their leisure.

As one of the users who replied to your original topic, I have to agree with Austeyr. The A&K SVD isn't widely used or known at the best of times. Followed up by adding in the CO2 System which as I previously stated, will push it well over any skirmishable limits only makes it even less popular for UK players. If you've used or had questions on almost any other platform in that time then I'm sure you would have been able to find help and knowledge, but being limited to one aging and uncommon platform over multiple years is just like playing on hard mode, unfortunately! For such a niche topic, and as much of a cesspool as it is; Reddit might be a better place to find knowledge on something like the CO2 SVD System. *Edit Looking back, I saw you mentioned buying the mancraft PDIK kit. Did you not ever install that or get it running? It could have been worthwhile to update people on your work if so; I'm sure the PDIK would have produced better results than the CO2 kit, and you could share your results with others here.

Yes, that should be the correct fitment style for it. Any of the older model solid stocks should be compatible.

I'm still awaiting a reply to a message from a few months ago so unfortunately, I wouldn't hold your breath tbh.

TBF, I messaged the admin several months ago and managed to get that sorted, so notifications started working again; at least for a while. Also got him to add the dates that adverts were posted, so you could know if you're messaging about an item from days, weeks or years ago.
