Okay, I'm planning a 500 FPS DMR. Read this guide a few times, shame it doesn't mention brands, but then it leaves it up to the individual and saves arguments in the comments, for example, I've had people recommend Lonex, SHS, Guarder and Prometheus parts, arguing with each other. Seems like a...

Okay that's good then, you'll probably get looks of disgust from quite a few people though :P About actually building it, I can't offer any help there, sorry. What FPS are you looking to get, and what internal upgrades?

Will your site allow you to use it if you're upping the FPS and locking to semi? I know some sites are really fussy about what classes as a DMR, some won't mind as long as it's semi only, some won't allow SMGs with a scope and a silencer to be classed as a DMR (which is essentially what this...

Personally, I'd say G&P. It's a little cheaper and G&P's M4/M16 series are decent guns, had my M16 a couple of years or so now, the only thing that I've changed is the barrel to a MadBull 509x6.03mm, and it's still shooting the same FPS as when I got it. I've not opened the gearbox at...

Seeing pictures of people's AKs recently has made me kinda want one...

Welcome to the forums! Any questions, have a look through the links in the thread here: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/12854-new-player-guides-info/, if they're still not answered ask away, there'll nearly always be someone who can and will help. The way you worded this makes...

Almost 2 days ago... what have you done?

Still, 3-9x is more appropriate for airsoft than fixed 4x.

Thanks makes no sense whatsoever. 4x zoom is okay for airsoft, but 2-9x is excessive? How does that work, the 2-9x is a much better choice.

I had the twisting issue, and to 'fix' it, I tightened it and it stayed still. Apart from after a couple days out, the lug on the bottom of the gun snapped off.

Providing it's standard M4 length, which it seems to be, from description and pictures, then you'll want a 363mm inner barrel.

Personally, I get a spring that is rated for 500 FPS, and then cut a few coils off. There's no problem with doing that, quite a lot of people do it, Daz at ASPUK suggests it if people are a little over their target FPS. If you do that, only cut 1, maybe two coils (if you're a lot over your...

Some people have said that washing BBs gets any grease or crap off them that comes from the factory, personally, I've never tried it, and most people don't because they see it as a waste of time. That's the minimum you'd need to get it to 500 FPS consistently, reliably and accurately. There...

A semi-decent gas sniper is going to be more than that before upgrades, and the magazines are more expensive, you have to buy gas. The only ones I see that regularly have a decent reputation are Tanaka ones, which are about £300. Anyway, let's not hijack the thread any more than we already have.

You missed the part where they're inconsistent, losing power each shot until the mag is re-filled/CO2 capsule replaced, is pretty much useless in a sniper. That's why HPA is the best way to go, using a regulator to get the same volume of air released every shot gives pretty consistent results...

Yeah, you can get a rail for it. TM make one themselves, and LayLax make one, there are other companies too, which will probably be cheaper. Why would you suggest getting a gas powered sniper rifle over a spring powered one, unless you were suggesting HPA?

I noticed MadBull's are silvery-grey, and heard the Guarder's were changing from tan too, to comply with laws or something or other. I found some King Arms ones in the UK that are tan, so may get a pot of those before they sell out and become rarer.

Fire-Support just posted on Facebook, regarding the issue: https://www.facebook.com/Firesupportffz/posts/10151968820066858 So, as expected, it's people reading things wrong and making assumptions. From what Frank has said above, it seems pretty reasonable.
