Upgrade Kit for SR22 sniper rifle

[noah2793]

I've got the SR22 sniper by wellfire and right now it shoots in the low 400s with .32's. I'd like for it to shoot at 500 or higher, is there an upgrade kit for it? Or what are my other options?

Thanks, Noah

First off measure it with 0.20g Bbs. EVERY field will do chrono with 0.20g Bbs. IF my math is right you are already shooting over 500 if your at 400 FPS with 0.32. ALL FPS GUIDELINES ARE MEASURED WITH 0.20. That way every gun is playing in the same range as for FPS.

I'll fill in the rest of your gaps. :)
Your weapon is a Sniper RIFLE. You are the sniper.

The well sr22, aka MB04 and MB05, takes the upper receiver and barrel of your common L/Mk 96 sniper rifles. Those are APS-2 compatible, with the exception of the bolt handle and the receiver piece itself. There are a plethora of rifles that take these parts, but most will say one of those two titles (Mk 96, APS-2).

You can get the 3 piece upgrade kit for one of those, which will put you at about 530, but you have be aware that the trigger sear and the piston sear will wear down after only a few hundred shots. The higher tension stress will also shred your flimsy plastic trigger box, so upgrading to a metal one I preferred.

Considering all that, I do fear you are headed in the wrong direction with that rifle. I would highly suggest going for accuracy before power. That would be forking up the cash for the best hop-up unit you can find (probably PDI) and a Long high-quality barrel (TBB or no, another discussion entirely) before you end up with a gun that shoots 530+ fps but only has the accuracy to hit something at 100 feet or closer. Having good hop-up and a great barrel will let you reach out to 250+ feet, then power can come in and give you that much more range.

Precision before power, always. With every type of gun, you need to be able to hit your target, or stopping power means absolutely nothing. This is especially true with a single-shot platform. Precision > Consistency > Durability > Power.
