Tokyo marui m40a5 and maple leaf mlc 338 deluxe

[Gunner91]

Recently bought the maple leaf 338 and I'm waiting on delivery of the TM m40a5, should be here Wednesday 😎 the 338 shoots brilliant even though I do think its the lower power spring. Over the chronograph im getting 75M/S I did see on youtube that you can get it at 3 power outputs.Even so it's shooting .30 at a good 50m and accurately. I have looked online about them both, but can't find a great deal of information on the 338. Such as what internals does it use? I know it's all maple leaf but is it worth upgrading or not certain parts? And is it a VSR basically with all maple leaf upgrades?I definitely want a higher fps. This will not be a fielded rifle. I only go to a indoor site. But more plinking in the garden. So a high fps is something I really want and of course accuracy is a must. Just not sure what springs i can use for it and will it need upgrades for the new spring? As for the m40a5 again I'd like to upgrade it for a higher power if possible. I know it has a small chamber for the air but are the angry gun mods all I'd need ? I believe it was angry gun anyway lol. Long read i know just going heavy into sniper rifles 👌 any help very much appreciated.

Pretty sure the Maple Leaf 338 is basically just a VSR built out of Maple Leaf parts. Unless I'm mistaken, I believe you should just be able to use VSR parts in that one, and the Maple Leaf internals should handle springs sufficient to get it to 2.3J. Not sure what other parts it comes with internally, but my go-to for VSRs is also the Action Army VSR hop unit and either a Flamingo + omega nub or 4uantum hop rubber plus the nub that rubber comes with.

 

Can't tell you about the TM m40a5 as I've never used one (my m40a5 is a gas gun).

So basically any vsr spring i can use?

Nah, mine's a KJW m700 in a Modelworks m40 kit, with the outer barrel swapped for the Action Army outer barrel to allow it to be threaded so I can fit a suppressor. I pretty much only use gas guns, and most of my guns are bolt actions or DMRs despite most people moaning that they're not consistent enough (unironically a skill issue...); they're great, but you really have to know what your doing, tweak them basically every game day, and you have to own a bunch of different types of gas for different weathers. At the moment I'm using green, but in 6 months time I will be using red or even black gas.

 

And yeah, any 7mm VSR spring I believe (so... most of them. Maple Leaf and Laylax are both 7mm springs I believe). If you want to use a 9mm spring like the Rapax ones, you'll need a 9mm spring guide, but again that's just a standard VSR thing, so any 9mm VSR spring guide should fit.
