Spring Sniper Rifles..what do you have?

[ColoradoCrow]

What do you have? What do you like about it? What do you hate? What have you modified your gun too?
Scope loves and hates?


Me. CA M24 with upgrades, Zero trigger, 500 fps spring all metal cylinder, steel cocking lever, upgraded sear.
all custom by Bearclaw so I am not sure of the parts...but I do have a 275 foot range.

Scope is a 2 color illuminated Rubberized Leapers. 9 x 30 Mil dot
weight is pretty heavy. 7 lbs or so with a ghille wrap.

TM VSR-10 , bone stock, variable zoom (1.5x to 11x) illuminated scope on top. I've been looking about putting some work into it but I haven't the time nor money.

Other than that I love this gun, even stock it kicks ass. The one thing I don't like is that its far too lightweight I prefer a gun with some heft to it, even if it gives me sore arms at the end of the day, if you ever held one I'm sure you know that it feels "toy-like".

I've been considering picking up a spring powered sniper rifle for kicks and giggles. One of my first airsoft guns was this old UHC Super 9 Pro. Granted, it couldn't shoot very well, but by god, it was a lot of fun to play with. It worked well until my friend duct taped a wooden sword replica to the barrel as a bayonet. Then it didn't feed properly.

It still shoots. Granted, very inaccurately.

JG BAR-10. KA Bucking Everything else is "ASGI upgrade parts" - 6.03 barrel, 1&2 sear, spring guide, Piston, m170 spring. Problem with my gun is it curves the bb to the right. I'm thinking the barrel is a little off - I remember it didn't roll perfectly on my desk nor granite counter. I'll just have to "Tilt" the gun to the left to make it go strait. I have a NCStar 3-9 power scope. Not a fan of it, because the adjustable knob for the power can be turned too much as to rotate the crosshairs. I'm not quite sure what the range is but the farthest I've shot is ~80 yards (according to Google Earth) at DMZ. It goes 555 with .2 and 450 with .36 (New, I believe it will settle down later in its life)

I like my gun, its got some good power, but to rack the bolt takes a little "Skill" and you have to teach everybody else who tried to pull the darn thing back. I put "Pads" on the bolt handle and the stock because my shoulder and fingers were starting to get a little "rough".

I also added weights to the hollow stock because I felt the gun was a little front heavy. I really don't know what the weight is, but I'm guessing maybe 3-5 pounds.

I bought an HFC VSR-10 for fun a year or two ago. I got the "real shock" model which came with a stronger spring and a weighted piston, which supposedly gives it slight recoil when shooting. I just got it because I read that you could remove the lead weights on the piston, and do a cheap teflon tape mod to increase the FPS dramatically. It went from ~340-350fps to 450, although it's leveled out around 430 now. After removing the "real shock" weight the gun is very quiet, and the bolt is much easier to cock than you'd expect.

Besides the mods it's all stock, no scope or anything because I'd need to buy the mount for it. It's about as accurate as my G36k with tightbore, and may end up being the gun my friend uses at Get Gorby. The stock TM loaner doesn't quite have the range for those forest shootouts.

I think i have seen this.. all I can say is So jealous. Oh so jealous. Cant wait to Buy A snipers rifle again.

I've got a WELL MB03, and yes it is the clone of a JG VSR-10 (which so happens to be a clone itself ).

At first when it was stock, though it had a tightbore, was terrible. It wasn't until cleaning and relubing everyting inside of the thing did I see any results.

Currently it still has that stock tightbore, teaflon on the threads to the cylinder head, a prometheus soft air-seal bucking, and has been corrected for the mis-aligned hopup arm (OscaRMiaR I believe this could be why your gun shoots to the right).

With .25g pellets it is accurate in the scope between 100 and 200ft, can reach ~250ft, and gets somewhere between 450-500fps (with .2g). Have yet to try it with heavier ammo.

I'll go take a look at that... Thanks.

[m16a2 ftw]

UTG M324, completely stock (looking to modify it though), scope is a 3-9x40(i think). the gun is pretty good, but there is too much trigger.

[SoldierOfValor]

JG VSR-10 with a NcStar 10-40x50 Rangefinder scope (the god of scopes, look it up) i'll measure the range tomorrow. PS what would be a good new rifle for under 300??? (could be rifle with specific upgrades)

[Veritech Zero]

UTG L96. Upgrades are all custom done by me, nothing too major but weve proven that it can with stand a mega spring and will hold together shooting upwards of 1400 fps,

Needless to say thats not the spring I field it with, shoots a .45 bb about 400fps, and at sudden strike 3 it completed a 200 yard shot to some poor us force guys nuts. Yes, I said yards, the distance was checked by one of the camera guys there. (Yes, the bb was definatly lobbed in the direction of US forces, and was a random lucky shot, but its still fun to tell people)

Holy crap!!! O.o Well i guess that makes up my mind on wat to get. If that thing can withstand a spring like that then ima get it and maybe some day upgrade it

[wrightoperaters]

Problem is, takes a lot more than a spring to be able to put the spring in. Takes a long list of things, as out of the box it cant take a spring that strong, at all.

[Veritech Zero]

No, theres no way that it could, damn thing would have exploded
Maybe next time I chrono it with that spring in I'll take pictures to show off unfortunatly with my luck it will probably explode at this point just because it hates me for all I've done to it.

Oh and if you want to know how we got a spring that strong I welded two M170s together and stuffed em in there. And had to have a super reinforced trigger to hold it back, and an even more reinforced cylinder so that when the spring released it didn't just break the whole thing in half. And enough lube for 20 GBB on the sears and seals so that they didn't get fried. It was really involved but so worth it.

1400 fps is faster than a real steel shotgun.
