Chinese rifles and their upgrades

[Boo-Sabum Ben]

Okay guys, trying to get a list together of rifles to build a dirty sniper with. Looks are not too important, but what is important is upgrades that are needed. As it will be resprayed and covered, Exterior finish is not much of an issue either. Literally all I want is a tube with spring and what not, plastic stock, and trigger!

It's a bit tricky finding out which Snipers work with which line of upgrades, and what is complete hogwash. A lot of then are 'fully upgradable' which doesn't mean much!

Currently looking at a Swiss Arms SA1 (have been informed it's vsr upgrades, but have nothing to go on that with)

I was told the complete opposite - that it wasn't upgradeable at all.

Someone in another thread (may not have been on this forum, though) mentioned a VSR11 for £99 that was supposedly VSR parts-compatible.

Personally, I'm starting with a JG BAR10 G-Spec.

Re: Chinese rifles and their upgrades

Yeah I heard the same, that it could only take a few trigger upgrades like sears, and then not even any parts references.

I would love to get my hands on a bar10 but the only prices I can find are in excess of £100, and as Id only be sniping for a change of pace from time to time, dont want to spend a bomb!

Your not going to get a good sniper for <£100.

Best you can do on the cheap side is a 2nd hand warrior l96 and upgrade it as you can but your going to need to pump over £100 into it for it to be any fun to use.

You can get the HFC vsr11's which are vsr compatible and so would be a pretty good base platform, ive also heard that the warrior MB-06 is very good out of the box but not sure about upgrade compatibility

cant see it, need to log in and cant for the life of me remember my log in from yonks ago! any chance you could copy and paste the essentials?

[Boo-Sabum Ben]

Not quite true on the £100 front. A friend had a Chinese one, stuck a better hop in it, heavy weight ammo and shot very very well for the money. I'm trying to replicate that experience really

Airsoft sniper parts has a list of what parts fit what rifle including pictures

How about an A&K SVD?

I've seen one used at GZW that has had it's bolt replaced with a CO2 one and the performance is stunning for a budget gun.

The gun's available for around the $100 mark from HK and the bolts are on ebay for around £80.

[Boo-Sabum Ben]

CO2 is banned at my site, and for the ease of upgrades I'd rather have a sprig! I've heard the dragunov sprinters are to be avoided, as there's massive problems with the bolt or something?

Re: Chinese rifles and their upgrades

To be honest I wouldn't consider a spring one, it was the CO2 system that made it an interesting option in my book. No problems with sears or anything as all the working parts (including the CO2 bulb) are in the bolt itself.

Oh well, never mind. I'll crawl back to my corner

[Boo-Sabum Ben]

Haha. If a as one becomes available, I might look at it, but it's a big price increase for a gas clone

Basically, it's a build log where he builds a 670fps Bar10 (confirmed hits at 390 feet) with a +/-3 fps deviation for about $130. He uses a lot of cool techniques like adapting a regular hop rubber for VSR use and custom made some parts to keep costs down. Have a read, it has got some very interesting methods.
