sonofsammo Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I have a hankering for a new rif. I don't need one in the slightest really, unless I desperately want to be OpFor at a milsim. Even then, I could probably argue that bad guys use SRS when they can get em. Anyway... Patrolbase advertising got me looking again at the LCT VSS. Now I absolutely love the stock on the Dragunov - and this has pretty much the same stock. But, I don't particularly want to poor (deliberate misspelling) money into it. I'd just like something that works from the off, with as little effort from me as possible. So - anyone have any experience of it? I've looked in search and can't find anyone that's actually had one, but have found a few wanting one... TIA 😄 And no, @rocketdogbert, I don't want a gas vector...

bog_god Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I have an LCT VSS, pretty much for the same reason you mention - that stock is frigging beautiful. It's a solid bit of kit: the small handguard is plastic, the rest is metal/wood (and I think the handguard might actually be polymer IRL?). It's gorgeous IMO. If I had a man cave I'd likely make it a wall piece. If you've got any specific questions LMK, albeit I'll warn I'm something an airsoft novice. I played with it once, and it worked reliably and shot straight enough, albeit not a dmr as I'd done no work on it! A little front heavy thanks to the big ass integral suppresor, but given my main gun is a scoprion EVO I think that of every friend's sexy metal gun I pick up. Alas, my eyes are bigger than my biceps. I was actually pointed at your post by a friend, as I've been talking about selling the VSS to get something small and gbb (so far not a vector but I can't promise). As sexy as the VSS is (those curves...), I don't have a man cave and it doesn't suit my playstyle (generally running and faceplanting), so it currently sits tucked away. I need to pull some pics together and get an ad up, so I'll drop a link in here when I have in case you do decide to take the plunge. Regardless, let me know if you want pics / info / general ramblings about it's beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper780 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 What about a VSS Vintorez made NPO everyone seem to rave about them on the NP facebook cause plenty of discussion between NPO vs LCT may be an alternative to consider. I like the look of this one personally: https://39bullets.com/airsoft-rifles/vss-vintorez-s-temnym-snajperskim-prikladom or this one https://39bullets.com/airsoft-rifles/vss-m-classic-npo-aeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love the NPO version given the choice but the price is a killer... (although I'd happily pay that for a GBBR version but that's just a wet dream....)

Stratton Oakmont Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 You can have my sr3m vikhr with full on suppressor if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortal Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I like the Vikhr but it's the stock on the VSS that does it for me. That and the silencer combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Grey shop: https://grey-shop.ru/NPOaeg-VSS-Vintorez £490 shipped with their prime delivery not sure what the import charges will be but if your looking for an NPO, not a bad price.

EvilMonkee Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I have the AS VAL - basically the same except the stock. Perfectly decent rifle, have been some reported issues with motor cages cracking but LCT just released a replacement one for them. Only thing really needs replacing is the hop rubber and maybe the motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I battle my conscience, I may take a punt on that. I know they accept the LCT mags too which is a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost the bookmark but there is a forum that had a detailed comparrison. NPO is the most accurate replica and as good as it get's in that sense. LCT mags fit which is a plus. RS optics fit etc. EDIT: ah different model but close enough https://vostokbase.blogspot.com/2015/11/as-val-npo-vs-lct-vs-real-steel.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bog_god Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 If you're going to mount a PSO scope on the LCT, it needs one of these doodads (not sure if that's the case for the NPO) because the top cover is a little too tall for the standard mount. http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Parts_Original_Parts_LCT_LCT_PSO1_Scope_Mount_Extender.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortal Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Quite a few variants on 39Bullets... can see why prices vary for the NPO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureSilver Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 IIRC the NPO is aluminium, not steel. Apparently the LCT is a bit overweight and going aluminium brings the NPO closer to the correct weight, but obviously the real gun is steel - just something to bear in mind.

Love my Lct As Val, rhop with a 433 prommy tightbore and Modify M110 I'm dead under Dmr limits.The thing is a laser when done right and looks sexy af. Wouldn't bother with the Pso-1, at most I use 3x on my scope. The motor is weak, but sufficient for now. Sposn rt-3 is the best sling for this weapon, you can really brace against it. Makes it a sight easier to aim steady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
