Mos' TM VSR upgrade logs

Personally I would rather have a 6.05mm PDI than any other barrel. Especially if I was running a reg so could adjust fps with a screw.

 
The TM stock inner barrel is regarded as "total crap" amongst many men.

Whats the length of the outer barrel, of the TM vsr pro? I think it's 430 mm

So I'll need a barrel under 430mm to fit my gun

Unless I am going to use a silencer, although a lot of people say longer the barrel means not much. Attleast in airsoft.

PDI have a 6.05 430mm, so there.

Steer away from those people. Even a TM MK23 with its short aluminium barrel outranges most of the aegs.

But good precision barrels are indeed better. Like edgi, the expensive PDI, etc.

430mm barrel is ideal for 0.40g BBs. Since you use mancraft kit, you could use longer barrel, and that would mean serious joule creep exploit. So don't.

You are not going to be switching barrels between games. That's an insane amount of work - there's no benefit at all except potentially squeezing a couple more shots out of a tighter bore. One would have absolutely no idea of how much each barrel is going to affect your muzzle energy by; just adjust your regulator output pressure. That's kind of the idea after all. Stop worrying about muzzle energy - the SDiK handles that and that's part of the reason why you bought it!

Plus that's then £140 in barrels alone, which is absolutely bonkers.

Get a single EdGI or PDI in the right length and around 6.03 to 6.05 as above. Your TM barrel isn't crap though - get it polished if you need to if a new barrel isn't in the budget yet. Rotary tool, Brasso and pipe cleaners.

I really hate to say this again but god damn these are seriously basic questions that have been covered on a hundred different forums. Have you read the Airsoft Sniper Forums? There's such a wealth of knowledge there regarding barrels, bore diameters and even the SDiK. If you let us spoonfeed you then sure you might get an alright rifle out of it, but you won't really know what goes into a good build and if somethings wrong you're going to be relying on probably the people in the safe zone to fix it for you.

I never wanted to get two Barrels, just thought, well eh. Cost too much. And lots of hassle.

So EdGI or PDI. I have a feeling EdGI are cheaper. Might be wrong. Probably will keep the TM barrel for not game, them after that. I'll get a 6.05 430mm barrel

From now on, I shall not ask any questions (bet you guys are thinking 'ha what a load of rubbish' but we will see :) lol)

Thanks

 
it isn't a case of not asking questions, but more a case that it comes across like you have not heard of google on a couple of bits. We are all more than happy to help if we know the answers but you gotta help yourself too mate! :-)

 
Ok, here's a question

The sniper needs a name,

What about 'Sam' short for... 'Samantha' LOL

serioussss, what about, Johnny McJohnFace - anyone seen that on the boat haha?

John - seems a fair name

Hogan - we could have some triumphant American music in the background.

well, a poll?

 
Game at ravens on the 15th I think. The Sunday.

£20 turn up with kit, which is lovely stuff, remember the days of paying 50 quid, bit of a pain.

Though, did say I'd go to the end of month skirmish at gunman, see if I can do both, but probs can't. Eager to use the sniper though.

Even though it's stock parts apart from mancraft and b type lever... Did find a nice simple picture from gunman, easily explainable meaning you don't have to bother looking from left to right.

This is going to have to become your weekly reminder at this rate :)

ok,

I can honestly say, I have absolute no skill.

Although I find it fun, even when I miss. Like last game I played I was hiding under a bush. And a party of 7 people came walking passed, unaware of me, as they passed I got out of the bush, I was about to get the jump on them all, and the whistle blew for game over.

yes sniper over sniper rifle yes yes. but, if I was to throw BBs I'm pretty sure I'll receive better results firing them out of a gun.

 
Er, I think you're missing the point.

 
did try and save the reminder as my sig

too big, I tried.

I thought the point is saying - the rifle is one part, the big long boned, fleshy, wreckless piece of cr is the other? otherwise known as mos.

 
Nope, it's just the wording. A sniper is the person and the rifle is the other. You keep saying 'sniper' when you mean 'rifle'/'sniper rifle', and slavery is pretty illegal. D/w, it's what COD has done to us.

 
Oh,

I will be using my sniper rifle on hopefully the 15th down at ravens..

This will have been my first day using the sniper rifle in a match.

I'll learn new ways, how to move etc like I'm becoming some sort of Jedi lol. Learn the ways, young one.

And also see where I am lacking.

 
So, what I'm thinking is

ACCURACY UPGRADES pewpew (when I have cash and can be bothered)

FLAT HOP - on my vsr stock bucking, flip bucking, shave ridge, shave the internal popping out thing, take out the beloved biro mod nub, and I'd put in the firefly nub. Though will probably do this much much later, as I did complete the biro mod

AA hop unit - consistent, many other people put it in

Barrel spacers - stabilise barrel, use many wraps of tape or something

6.05 barrel PDI - consistent, more hop up I believe.

But, these will come later :)

 
Has anyone flat hopped a Tm bucking?
