the Scout Rifle.

I sure hope you could hit a torso at 60 feet.

[Merchant]

Very true. i believe torso-size target acuracy at 20 yards is still be achievable with a barrel that short.
Also, I may just use an R700 and cut down the barrel to the end of the stock with one of those GI long
rails and a set of cheap knock-off MBUSs
Would a TM VSR10 spring fit in an R700?
What equipment do i need to custom-cut an inner barrel?

You could actually, I can hit a torso sized target easy w/ my E1 mp5k from 135'

On another note, if this is your first VSR build, your going to have alot of reading and research to do. Yes a VSR spring should fit in an R700, but there shouldn't be a need. To cut the barrel, you would need a hack saw and you will need a special drill bit to crown it.

Shoot me a PM and I'll hook you up with some links that will help your build.

[Hallowground]

I won't be doing the build for a month or two, but I'll ask you for those links when I do thank you.
and the question about the VSR10 spring was because they seem to be the only ones on GI that can bring a sniper under 400 FPS, i'd like to bring it down to about 380, to add a bit of safety to a bolt platform i plan on extensively using back and forth between 15 and 25 yards.
Also, to help facilitate this project i may just use the shortest bolt-action rifle I can find

It has been proven time and time again that the length of a barrel in an airsoft gun will only effect accuracy in a very insignificant increment.


KA-BAR - Nice Build!! I freaken LOVE originality as far as Airsoft guns are concerned...

[KA-BAR]

thanks man. internally this gun is still bone stock. its hitting shit out to 70 yarsds pretty consistant @430 FPS with .20's.

only thing ill do is get a TB, cut the air brake, teflon seal it up, and maybe bore out and bell out the nozzle.


all that should get me to 480fps with a .20. perfect for a DMR using .25s.




thats the plan anyways.

[Merchant]

Hey Ka-bar how did you get it shooting so strait stock?

[KA-BAR]

barrel swab. compression and internals check. tighten all screws. make sure hop up is seated propperly.

fin.

it sill hooks a lil from shot to shot. but it is over all very consistant. and that is the most important thing. with a TB this rifle will be awsome for its intended role.


from 0 to 60 yards this thing is laser strait even with .20's. once it starts to lose velocity and energy at about 70-75 yards its just drifting the last 10 yards and drops drasticly. 80 yards is this rifles max range.

[Merchant]

Damn, I can't even do that with my TM G-spec, I cannot figure out how to get it shooting strait. I cannot figure out what I am missing. Even at 135 feet I'm getting the occasional flyer with the hop shimmed.

[KA-BAR]

your barrel might be comming out of ajustment or reseating itself.

[TheGunTrucker]

Hey KA-BAR
Can I ask you why you put your scopes(not your red dotes or anything)so far forward????

[KA-BAR]

sure kid. its called a LER optic. it is made to be set that far forward. if you do a google search, or just read a lil more closely the article i provided, it will tell you exactly why forward mounted LER optics are used on this type of bolt action rifle set up.

[TheGunTrucker]

Sorry I wasnt reading the whole topic just rolling down the page.
Thanks

[Shiloh]

Sorry if this was answered in the original post, but quick question for KA-BAR: How does a scout's role compare (airsoft-wise) to that of a designated sniper? Or are they pretty much the same? I could see this role paying off well for someone who was skilled in being a sneaky bastard and knew how to communicate well with others/command elements.

[KA-BAR]

this is a DMR's rifle....yes. this is not designed to ghillie up and sit in a bush ...this is designed to be with a squad, providing accurate fire where needed.

[Shiloh]

Thank you for clearing that up.

Definitely an interesting concept though, I'll be checking back often.
