Gun picture thread

Spent the afternoon rebuilding my Cyma SVD to see if I could get its FPS consistent. Shooting 319 fps on a .3g BB with 2 fps variation on average through 50 shots so quite happy with it now. However as I'm now a super sneaky sniper an all black rifle wasn't going to cut it. Just need an idea on how to cover the PSO-1 so it blends in with nature more without permanent modification as it gets moved around a bit 🤔

I was thinking this: https://www.empireairsoft.co.uk/classic-sniper-rifle-3d-camo-cover.html?id=269271424 as it's in ATACS FG but no idea if it would fit my SVD?!

2 elastic bands and a strip of scrim scarf or hessian works for me

How do you like it? I'm really tempted by one of these.

Do it! I've only used it once, but so far really enjoying it. Even with the suppressor it feels lighter and handier than my other AR15s (MK18, CQBR, 14" URGI), and the kick is impressive (and loud) on green gas.

There are caveats however. Had to buy a tool to get the hand guard off because the retention spring is so tight. Had a nightmare getting the barrel nut off too, because VFC love using loads of locktite. Then finally had to replace the hop unit and inner barrel because they'd locktite'd the hop screws and I stripped the head off one of them, so it now has a unicorn inner barrel and 4uad hop and nub.

At least when I've seen similar camo stuff on the field, it tends to be very plasticky and weirdly sticks out more.

Honestly scrim netting and some jjute gets you most of the way. Just gotta break up the outline.

So much this. A lot of these pre-made ghillies, especially the cheaper ones, catch the light weirdly and stick out like a sore thumb to anyone who knows what to look for.

One option I tend to use is a £5 OD scrim net, secured with elastic hair bands that I then also use to tuck natural foliage in. Doesn't need much natural foliage, but a little natural foliage works wonders for concealment.

The other option I use is an SCG pre-made rifle wrap. If you really want something pre-made, then these are good, but double the price of what you were looking at:
