Hello all, this is my first post here and I thought I would share my new AEG turned DMR, the Double Bell SR25 (this one)
I haven't really seen any reviews or videos on their SR25 so I thought I would share my thoughts on what I like and don't.
First off the build quality. Surprisingly pretty good for how much the gun cost. Everything feels sturdy and well made, no wobble and a comfortable pistol grip. The only thing that felt SUPER cheap and got instantly replaced was the solid stock. It felt way to fragile, one drop or hard knock and it could shatter kind of fragile. Another bad point is the stock motor, I fired the gun 4 times through my chrono for a stock reading and the gearbox locked up. Now this could of been due to the fact that the gun is locked to semi-only by bespoke with the selector plate but it didn't matter as the gearbox was going to be opened anyway.
The gun has a quick spring change like the Cyma platinum series.
Just removed the stock and twist the spring guide until it pops out, simple!
Internally it has a V2.5 SRS gearbox which is a bonus!
It has standard ok gears which I replaced, the nozzle was metal with an o-ring and the piston had steel rack teeth with a decent bearing head, the cylinder was ported which I also replaced along with the cylinder head. The air seal however from stock was REALLY good. So far impressed.
My piston had the 19 teeth but it was exactly like the picture above.
Now some issues, I had to send the gun to a local tech as It was causing a massive head ache, it turns out the stock cylinder is smaller then the replacement non-ported SR25 cylinders.

With a bit of modification he got the cylinder in with the gearbox closed.
The Front of the gun you have a 420mm brass 6.02 inner barrel (the websites say 500mm, well its not) and a rotary hop up chamber, it felt a bit cheap so I replaced it.
New parts inside of the gun.

I'm using a 9.9v LIFE battery.
I replaced the cheap feeling hollow stock with a Cyma SR-25 solid stock, it only needed to be slightly shaved on the bottom of the stock to fit.
The finished product. I'm using 0.32's and I'm getting 341-343 fps. Perfect for my site!
I'm pretty happy with the build, I'll be using it for the first time this Sunday hopefully with no cock ups!
