You can have mine. I'm ready to burn the bag of shit.

no matter what bucking/ nub i seem to use, it seems to be not enough hop, not enough hop, too much hop that it jams the gun. I never get to the point where i get lift.. I bought a pre cut R hop patch, hoping to fix my issue and it was cut badly. I'm gonna send it to somebody with more patience than me.

 
Hmm, can understand why that should be frustrating.  Hopefully you get it fixed soon.  I can’t suggest anything, because ours went together without issue.

I had the same problems until my current set up:
CJ barrel / super bucking
FAST hop chamber with the nub that came with the kit.
Lifting .48s on setting 4 (ish)
The standard hop unit I couldn't get to lift anything beyond .4's.

 
Got my SRS gen3 covert + DTSS suppressor today.

Had a small issue where one of the hopup holes in the receiver wasn't aligned properly, making it impossible to put the long hopup screw in. 

Had to drill it slightly, bit disappointing from a QC point of view.  The issue would have been obvious if anyone tried to put the screw in.

Tried the m160 spring initially, 480fps on .20 with no hop, but damn it was hard to cock.

Dropped down to the 150 spring which does seem more usable.

With no hop I was getting a lot of joule creep, looking on a FB group I saw that someone else had a similar experience.

Comments on there seemed to indicate that this is normal.

My test results with M150

0.20 @ 416fps = 1.61J - seems low

0.43 @ 346fps = 2.39J

0.48 @ 335fps = 2.50J

With some hop added, the .20fps rose to 432fps, the other weights only rose by about 2 fps.

Looking at the Joules for the .43 and .48's I'd either need to drop down to a 140 spring or use 0.43 and relax the spring a little.

Edit:

Looking at this thread





it doesn't look that far off from where I am

2.3J on 48.s and 1.8J on .2,s.

Either the WASP kit or the variable mass piston with an air brake can help with adjusting fps.

 
Skirmished it at the weekend, not bad.

Similar to @sonofsammo with the fast hop its lifting .48s on a setting between 4 and 5.

Buttpad kept failling off tho, I dont think its clicking into place properly.

When you hook the pad into place, there's a latch at the bottom you need to check is engaged. Sometimes just needs an extra push.

 
Had to shave 1mm off the inside of the receiver, the latch now engages properly.

 
Recommended bb weight to use with a stock srs 16inch covert apart from a spring to bring it closer to 500fps.

Fast hop or not?

Currently not but that is the the one thing I was planning on buying straight away, I am going to do more mods eventually but want to use it relatively stock for awhile.

 
So. 

I have sold my gas Tavor out of frustration and I am now looking at buying an SRS. 

But what to get?! There are so many choices! 

Looking at the Gen 3's from Firesupport. I am new to sniping, but I have an almost fully upgraded Well MB09 which is actually a lovely performer, all AirsoftPRO/Action Army internals apart from the Hop unit, which is stock and has an AirsoftPRO arm. Will the SRS be of similar performance out of the box?

I know this has been probably asked a-lot, but why would I choose the normal version over the sport? Is there any reason to get the longer version over the 22"? I am a tall guy, but I don't see myself with the 16" unless its actually a better performer then its longer cousins. 

Lastly... OD, FDE or Black?!

I can't comment on out of the box performance, as I never shot it stock. First thing I did was put an m150 spring in it.
As such, it was a good fun rifle, accurate as hell, but you had to be a bit sneaky so you could get in range for the shots.
There are a few reasons you would go for the 22/26:
You need the rail space
You want the outer barrel fitted to the inner (i.e. no requirement for barrel spacers)
You want a monopod
You need the rail space
The difference in price between the Sport and the Covert is around £130 last time I looked.
And tbh, I bought the sport cos I couldn't see where the money went and spent it on internals instead.
I wanted FDE, but got Black cos I'm an impatient fucker and the OD was out of stock lol.

The advantage of the shorter barrelled versions is that it' easier for you to hide in smaller spaces, without the need for more of your rifle sticking out...
 

 
My brothers SRS is the 16”, and fairly stock(only mod is fast hop, hop rubber and Nub- highly recommend you do this ASAP as it allows the gun to lift much higher ammo)

I will always go for the shortest version. It’s lighter, easier to wield and as @sonofsammo said easier to hide. Plus you save money buying it.

The difference between my brothers and my team mates SRS in price is £100s but range wise it’s only 15-20M... The real difference between them is noise, there are many cheap mods to make it super quiet. If you have had a read of my comparison and earlier posts about the SRS, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.

 
Thoughts on the Srs Variable mass piston or wait till W.A.S.P is back in stock?

I bought the vmp, as the WASP wasn't available (I couldn't be bothered to queue when patience was handed out).
It helped a great deal, but the trajectory wasn't as flat as the WASP.
I got the WASP as soon as it was in stock and have stayed with it. It seems to work better for my set up.
That being said - I think it all depends on your barrel/bucking/nub/hop unit set up...
