THE FNG

It's about 1 hr and 15 mins to Leek from where you are, according to google, which is where Anzio camp is. Highly recommended! Fibua enviroment, so it's built up areas, indoor cqb parts and some open fields too.

Serpa/blackhawk/retention holsters on the chest are definitely the way forward! Easy to use, very ergonomic and look cool

I'm genuinely interested in this! I have the spring A&K SVD and I was looking at possibly making a semi auto version. I'd be limited to 400 fps though.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the DMR wouldn't be going to cqb sites. It may travel with me to anzio camp which is fibua and allows dmrs (400fps or lower). I've already got cqb loadouts sorted Got a scar-l cqc as one and a ump as the other. Was working on a kac pdw but it's now for sale as I don't have the time to finish it. Thanks for the quick replies btw

Hi guys, I currently own the spring A&K SVD. I've had it for 2 years by xmas and I've loved it! It has been the first gun that I have disassembled, upgraded, cherished. I have, however, grown a bit bored of the actual sniper role. I have scored some incredibly satisfying kills and I absolutely adore my SVD, but I prefer things a bit closer up. I tend to play fibua and cqb more now, so I rarely use the SVD. The other thing is that now that I am a little more experienced as a player, I am looking into authenticity a little more. I don't have particular loadout inspirations etc and it's not anything strict but with the real steel Dragunov being a semi auto dmr, pulling the charging handle every time to take a shot (which is very stiff and causes bruising on my shoulder!) sometimes makes it feel a little strange. I was going to sell up my SVD, and use the money to put towards the semi-only DMR version; mostly due to liking the SVD as a gun in general and I have some of the upgrades already in my current SVD. Now; to the point. I was wondering; what is the difference in play style like? I've never played DMR, only sniper and rifleman. I was wondering if the style of play is a drastic change or if it's the same thing? I'm essentially trying to decide whether or not to give up sniping and focus in cqb/fibua loadouts. Also, does anyone know of the A&K SVD gearbox would drop into the spring version? This would save me a bit of cash and time! Thanks for reading, Andy TL:DR Should I get the semi auto SVD instead of my spring one and will I enjoy DMR'ing over sniping?

Righto; just asked as tightbores can increase fps....in some cases significantly although in the SVD it shouldn't be too much. Mine increased by 25 fps with the madbull barrel and by 10 with the A&k tightbore. I had a UMP increase from 320 to 380 because of a tightbore installation!

It looks like it...could just be a re-brand. Glad you are happy with the performance! Out of curiosity, have you chrono'd since the upgrades? Andy

What RR01 said! I put a 650mm madbull 6.03 in mine as well as the advanced hop unit and it went from being a good sniper rifle to an incredibly pin-point accurate rifle that out shot everything else that it came against. Unfortunately, my inner barrel broke as one of the grub screws was tightened too far and it ruined the barrel so now I'm running a 6.03 A&K 650mm barrel. It's good...but it's not the same as the madbull! If you're thinking of upgrades, have a look at the SVD section on airsoftpro...some of the things they sell are exclusive and really do make a difference

Hi all, I've got an issue with one of my moscart shells (ACM 120 rounder) When I try to put the gas into the valve, it makes a lovely 'farting noise' and nothing goes in. It is a self, resetting shell so I shouldn't have to reset it. I''ve checked the bearings and the o-rings, all are present and pristine (the shell itself has been fired only twice). Can't find a the solution, anybody else had this issue? Thanks, Andy

KAC PDW's are really nice little guns, but the only aeg's are dboys (£150ish if you shop around but they don't have the best reputation) and VFC (Awesome reputation but £350+ price tag). They are compact, lightweight, take stanag mags, look awesome and can be upgraded easily. I personally own the dboys one which I am currently working on. Not used it yet but it feels awesome and I may use it as a secondary to my own Dragunov sometime.

Taiwangun.com Based in Poland. Free shipping on orders over £60. No import fees and is delivered by courier (usually within 5 working days). I've bought some gearbox parts, mags & external accessories from there. Offer some hard to find things for more 'exotic' or rare guns and are, in general, cheap prices. Just my two cents

I've fixed it! One of the trigger contact screws had started to loosen up, making the connection very weak. I've tightened it up and now it cycles again perfectly! So, the revamp has been finished! I installed an m100 spring by madbull and a blue shark rubber. There is some over hop so I am now playing around with different softness nubs today (day off!!). Thanks everyone for the help and advice, much appreciated again!

Thanks for the advice! It's a Classic Army UMC, a clone of the G&G UMG. I've taken it apart and re-assembled it so many times last night and every time it just wouldn't work. The only different outcome was that on one disassembley, the gearbox would be able to cycle after 2 or 3 trigger pulls on semi. Makes a wierd noise as I do it. Can't really describe the noise...just sounds a bit like an underpowered cycle... :S

I've found that the problem was in fact the hop rubber! There was a small hole underneath and it wasn't sealing properly. Having replaced it, I am hitting 330 consistently....well...I was.... :/ I've now got an issue with the gearbox. When the trigger is pulled on semi auto, it clicks and nothing happens. Sometimes it will fire, but it isn't a proper cycle and it sounds weak. Having researched, it could apparently be due to the cut off lever....but I have no idea how to solve this problem or how to troubleshoot it. Any advice or help would be much appreciated!

I used a flip to side magnifier with and eotech holo sight for a short while but I found that the flip to side magnifier was a little useless...but that was for cqb. I did use it on occasion during a woodland skirmish a few months ago. Might I recommend a normal acog without the red dot on top, then put offset iron sights on the rifle for close range engagements? I find they are really useful. It all falls down to personal preference though really and the type of game you play. I'm more into cqb/fibua atm and my loadouts are so much more different than when I was playing woodland all of the time. Also, if you are worried about the optics getting shot out, I'd recommend a bb shield of some description. They sit in front of the sights and stop any bb's hitting the sight. They don't obscure vision and are fairly cheap.
