King Arms SVD Spring to HPA

[luk1ni]

hi so i currently own a king arms (A&K CLONE)spring SVD and in the process of  making  the change to a hpa system with the Mancraft PDIK and was wondering what other upgrades i  could do for greater accuracy, i have just purchased  a mappleleaf  MrHop 70 

 

what other upgrades would you recommend ?

Can u still get the svd mancraft kit ??

 

Also obviously a long better inner barrel . Maybe combat union hop chamber . 

The longer the barrel the better in mancraft too .

Isn't the combat union hop unit for RS & CYMA AEGS only?

yea i directly  messaged a supplier  and  they are  expecting restock   in 2 weeks so thats  my  plan and i was maybe thinking of cutting the barrel down to a 22  inch outer barrel with  a suppressor like so ,

CONVERSION PROCESS

 

Finished product - engine installed works flawlessly fits the KING ARMS variant, adjustable nozzel (picture showing) so will fit any spring SVD from what I can imagine, since the bolt pull is locked in forward position with the engine installed, the KING ARMS svd has a rotary style hop up which can then only be accessed from the mag well of SVD, so I must use a screw driver or multi tool to reach it and turn it, have marked an arrow on the bolt assembly to know which way for more hop 

 

Shorted my barrel down - used a standard pipe cutter to shorted outer barrel and then using files and emry cloth made the end area thinner to slide over thread adapter from AirsoftPro, and attached DSL-T Carbon Fiber supressor works a charm supressors the pop of hpa nicely, the standard 595mm inner barrel goes to 1 inch away from the end of the supressor so no need to change the barrell.

 

 

If you have any questions on how I did any of it just comment here and I will response ASAP 

 

I 100% recommend the MANCRAFT engine if u already have a spring SVD and if u don't get one if u want a dmr as they are greatly priced and 2nd its a no brainer

UPDATE TIMEEE

 

 

now had engine for a few months and wow 

 

What can I sat but mancraft nailed this engine  the initial messing about with nozzle alignment was a pain but wow was it worth it the consistency on this is immense I've had 10 rounds through the chrono with a difference of 2 fps between highest and lowest!!

 

I've got this tuned to 95psi kicking out 311fps at its highest and my site limits max is 313 fps on a .32g for dmr so I'm literally at the max and the consistency of the engine means I'm always set for chrono on game day.

 

They are thar good I also picked up there v3 engine and its the exact same so if u want this in any other rifle they are perfect at the same regulator settings I'm getting the exact same results no different so if you have another rifle and want a mechanical engine get mancraft !!! 

 

My pp19 is now also a pinger but I tune down to rifle limits rather then dmr and run around 70 psi with the small turn of my reg key and im all set 

 

In terms of v3 engine install it was even easier I took original nozzel out of pp19 and put that one onto the mancraft engine and put engine into original shell dropped it bsck in and was all set !!
