Silverback SRS Thread

[Impulse]

Same as every other bolt gun tbh. The only issue with the SRS is how much more exposed the bolt is to crap and how rapidly it therefore generates crunchy grit paste. At least it's easy to take out and clean.

Haha, that's my problem; I tend to use gas bolt actions. I can't remember the last time I used a spring one, but I think I'll use a thin layer of spray inside and then the grease on the outside. Because I use gas bolt actions I'm very used to the bolt generating that crunchy grit and having to regularly clean and re-lube, because gas bolt actions do the same.

Main reason I asked was because I remembered the Edgi SAP piston specifically couldn't have silicone lubricant used on it or the cup swelled, but looking around on Facebook it seems that the WASP has no such limitation, so that's fine. Now I just need to play the waiting game for customs to stop being their usual slow selves and let Longbow's Silverback shipment in so they can send me my SRS. Got all the other internal parts just sitting on my desk!

My SRS has hit it's "final" version. This weekend was insane!! As the day wore on the new R-Hop patch bedded it's way in progressively needing less and less pressure to be applied. By the end of the day it was almost at the point where I didn't need to watch the BB fly, if the crosshair was on it, it was gone!



SRS A1 GSPEC

FAST hop, PDI 370x6.05 inner barrel, DTSS suppressor with internal barrel support (also SBA), Faceless 60deg R-Hop patch, SBA 70deg bucking modified for rhop, Facelss FOW nub, SBA v1.VMP with 1 aluminium collar, Faceless mousefart piston head, Rapax 2J spring with 2 coils removed, Faceless FPS booster ring. 318fps (+/- 1) on a 0.48g (about 2.24/2.26J) with the hop set.

Your setup seems to be almost identical to a friends (regarding hop up and piston). His is curving to the left after about 40-50 meters. Would you have any insight as to why that might be? We're pretty sure his barrel is in straight, but we're not 100%.

Missed this. Tried turning the scope a touch? If the scope isn't perfect vertical to the rifle you'll get that and pull the rifle apart in the process trying to get it even more square than a square thing, all down to a scope slightly leaning. I naturally lean the scope into me so am constantly adjusting to vertical.

I have the same issue - I actually have a spirit level bubble in the rear of my scope mount on a few rifles, albeit remembering to crane my head and check it is a rarity....
