I am wanting the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Sniper Rifle but noticed there is a different model called the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 (G-Spec)Sniper Rifle what is the difference as i tried reading up but couldn't find much apart from there about £80 in deference

any help is appreciated

Externals AFAIK. G-Spec has a rail, different sling loops, shorter barrel(?) etc; internally they are identical.

The G-Spec is better for most primarily because of the rail, but if you're looking to heavily upgrade then the TM externals aren't the best - it's a pretty old design. Out of the box it's still great though.

The G-spec comes with a rail for mounting scopes on, whilst the basic version has iron sights. The Standard one also has a longer barrel, whereas the G-spec has a shorter barrel & suppressor.

There's not much in it, as you can replace the irons on the basic with a rail, or get a replacement muzzle on the G-spec to install a longer barrel and/or different suppressor etc.

Much appreciated for the fast reply guys, iv been on the internet most of the day reading the reviews on snipers and i came to the conclusion that the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Sniper Rifle was one of the best for upgrading up to 500FPS, as i am looking at getting one and upgrading to 450FPS for the site legal FPS rules and that its not too pricey and its great accuracy and range

If you're looking to upgrade then the JG VSR (BAR-10) actually has a nicer stock and is of course compatible with 100% of the TM internals - it may be the better call. They're kind of hard to find these days though. The TM one is still rather nice though as you'd expect.

Both have the same internals, except for the longer barrel on the standard model. The Gspec comes with a foam filled silencer which works. Although it has a 330mm inner barrel you'll still hit pretty much everything you want. Also, you can drill out the end cap to install a longer one. I believe the standard version has a tapered outer barrel which makes spacing a pain. Most people go with the Gspec.

Depends on what your build is going to include? If you want to stick with the stock hop unit but with a type B arm then the TM one is very good! If you plan to replace it then you could go with a clone for way less. Worth thinking about!

Wanting to upgrade it to 450FPS but a nice save area that way there is no pressure on the pistons ect and add abit of metal too it that way i actually don't forget i am carrying a rifle, looking at doing the camera modification on top of the scope too

 
Interesting - sounds like a Chinese copy but only £130.

I wonder how much upgrading it will need to match the shooting ability of the TM ?

What is the out of box fps of the TM version ?

Wow iv seen cheap rifles but £74.09 is really cheap, how are these compared to other snipers, is it easy upgrading and fitting a rail for a scope ect

you can buy the rail for about £15 it just screws on the top.

The only thing I didnt like about the JG was the iron sights, they're awful (you have to tape it on)

Confused me a little there, so you can add a rail to the JG Bar-10 but then you said have to tape it on?

no you screw the rail onto the top, it has screw holes already for a rail but it does not come with a rail.

you have to tape or glue the front iron sight on.

Argh i got you now, yeah i'll just leave that off as i have no intention of using the iron and foresight so i'll just remove them, are there any sites for modifying these to better quality like TM

 
Decided to go with a JG Bar-10

buying the upgrades first then the rifle and here they are:

* Action Army VSR10 Hop Up Chamber Marui VSR10 / G-Spec, JG BAR10, HFC VSR11 Made in Taiwan

* Action Army Specialized "Zero" Airsoft Trigger Set for Marui VSR10 / JG Bar10

* Action Army VSR-10 Hop Up Bucking

* Action Army Spring Guide Fit with Tokyo Marui VSR10 / G-Spec, JG BAR10, HFC VSR11 Made in Taiwan

* Action Army 6.01mm Excel Inner Barrel for VSR-10 (430mm) PDI VSR 260 Spring for VSR-10 (11mm/8mm)

All upgrades will cost me £246

then the rifle at no more than £130

Total at £376

is this a reasonable price to say it will fire bang on whilst packing a punch

 
Action Army for externals - fine

Action Army for internals - not so good

As linked by Josh above, this thread is brilliant as far as upgrades go: http://www.airsoftforum.com/board/topic/59742-vsr-10-upgrade-guide/ - be prepared to spend a fair bit, but if it's worth doing then it's worth doing right in the case of sniper rifles.

The link Josh provided - http://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/41-vsr-rifles - has a load of other information too on other brands beyond Laylax/First/Prometheus (whichever they're deciding to call themselves this week). Do your research, and don't expect to be able to buy all of the upgrades from one retailer. Shopping around will be worth it for an absolute top setup.

Some parts are Raven PDI, is this a good internal make

Also thank you for the list, much cheaper price to what it was

[SIZE=10pt]~430 FPS][/SIZE]
-Laylax PSS10 130 Spring - £17
-Laylax Prometheus 6.03 mm Tightbore (430 mm for Pro and Real Shock versions) - £44.95

Suggested Items:

-Deepfire Reinforced VSR-10 Sears - £17.66

All that will just put it under the FPS that i need

so a total of - £79.61 which is alot better than £246 of upgrades
