    The limited edition Tokyo Marui rifles are quite collectable. The XM177 isn't one of them as it was a normal run AEG back in the day. Have a look at the GOLGO 13, Burns M653, AK Spetsnaz or any of the resident evil pistols.

    The Burns rifle is an interesting one. It came in 2 flavours, fixed or sliding stock and the story goes it was released after the movie Platoon and was meant to be the main character "Barnes" rifle but somewhere along the line someone messed up the translation. The AK is just a AK Beta Spetsnaz without a stock but this was released at a time when there wasn't 500 Chinese clones.

     

    Wasn't that the Alpha spetsnaz?

     

    The beta was just the generic mass produced version with the stock.

    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.

    I must admit that I was also tempted by that.

     

    The notifications never worked so when you had been sent a message you had no idea.

    Then, you got left with shitty feedback for not responding 

     

    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.

    I'm going to guess that It might be a VSR-10 by Tokyo marui?

     

    What exactly are you wanting to know?

    Pictures will help people help you, otherwise we're no more knowledgeable than you are right now!

     

    ASGK is a marking that Japanese Airsoft guns have, that certifies certain standards afaik.

    Devgru spring change

    Good bucking and barrel and ensuring it's all in place properly and snugly in the hop unit to start with, after that it means opening the gearbox up and getting good air nozzle/cylinder etc. parts

    You don't want to beat 300 on 0.28s.

     

    The 1.14J limit will be approximately 295fps.

     

    Rather than opening the gearbox and swapping the spring, you'll probably be better off ensuring you have a good air seal, as well as bucking & barrel which should get you to what you want.

    Is that your experience of the site? I've been going well over a year now (I think) and it's nowhere near like what you're making out. There are always one or two special people like that who turn up at every site but the overwhelming majority of players are great and the marshalls make a great effort to correct problematic people but it's very rare there are any. The only time i've had a negative experience there was when a certain team of 4-6 people showed up and decided they were allowed to play by different rules than everyone else.

     

    I've not been in about a year or so, but yeah it's pretty much been like that when I've been.

     

    Every time I've played there, bar one, has always been in the first paintball-style section closest to the safe zone.

    Only once have I ever managed to play in the pines section (and this goes for the last three owners of the site prior to the current lot).

     

    When I say HPA & drum mags, I don't mean that they're anything particularly bad or malicious with it, just that there seems to be higher percentage than one would expect (TBF, this seems to be common among most of the sites in the North east; and a large reason why I don't really bother attending any local sites anymore).

     

    Games always seemed to be focused on short, fast scenarios where simply putting down rounds and hosing has been the name of the game; followed by everyone returning to the safe zone after every one only to come back out and do it again.

     

    I've got nothing against the guys that run it, they've been absolutely fine on a personal level, it's just not been the type of gameplay that interests me, which is why I didn't want to name them; (besides some rather daft pricing for ex hire guns, they've not really done anything wrong, it's just not my flavour of Airsoft).

     

    I've been doing this hobby for nearly 30 years, and You could even say Airsoft as a whole has been going this way in the past few years; which means I'm having to travel further and further afield to find somewhere that interests me.

    All of the local sites are pretty much the same, so it's not confined just them.

    Ahh, I get you now.

     

    Sorry, it's just that usually it'll be people asking to 'improve' their power by sticking a stronger spring in without doing anything else to it.

     

    I'd try it on 0.43 or 45s and see what it comes out at, and then go from there.

    Without knowing what's in it to start with, I can only guess at using something like an M140 or M130 to start with.

     

    I'd also check the barrel is clean and bucking is in good condition before doing anything else.

    If It's already doing 2.3J, then the spring isn't the problem. You're already at the limit; and using heavier ammo may even put you over.

     

    You'll want to look at the hop & barrel rather than touching the spring.

     

    When you say 'awful', how exactly do you mean?

    What was it doing (or not doing).

    Has it been touched internally?
