So mwrose777 wanted me to post the pics of his build after we finished getting it together today. I'll let him post the parts list for those that are interested (though obviously it's based on my one-piece receiver).
Love your build, I had a similar idea Sadly though I can no longer find a wasp piston. I was gonna pair the wasp with a Lambda Cylinder, that idea has gone out the window. I was thinking maybe the EDGI SAP piston kit but not sure if that would fit the Lambda Cylinder. I am looking into Maple leaf as a backup since all I can find is full Cylinder kits.I couldn’t be more happier with it. I said I’d never go back to a VSR, until Masada had to go and create these awesome receivers!
Parts list:
VSR Ultimate reviver set
VSR Ultimate scope rail
VSR Ultimate LRB end cap
Maple leaf stock, tan
Springer custom trigger
Maple lead crazy jet barrel, 370mm
Maple leaf wonder bucking
Maple leaf nub
Action army hop up chamber
Laylax bolt handle set
Maple leaf hop up chamber block
Action army twisted Cylinder set
Action army Barrel spacers
Lambda VSR-B spring
Wasp piston set
Vortex medium scope mounts
Vortex Crossfire II 4-16x50 scope
2 questions! 1.) How are you liking the X Range bucking? Does it outperform ML? 2.) I see several kinds of VSR builds, many times followed by another letter (VSR-X, VSR-U). Could someone explain what all the different types are? ThanksWell, now I feel obligated to post my VSR-U here too. Nice work Masada!
Edgi 370mm w/ modify X-range bucking
AA hopup chamber
SAP Piston
Laylax cyl and trigger
Trophy hunting rifle scope
It's a fun gun 🙂
I'm really interested in how your builds end up performing. I've generally gone the route of off the shelf internals and have gotten good results so far, but I'm curious how much extra performance all your custom bits are getting. Hopefully it will be substantial.I'll be posting the four I'm building once they get underway. All are going to be built with the same spec but I have a lot of parts to make to get them finished.
The stocks are going to be the Maple Leaf with two black, one green and one tan.
The AA chambers already arrived.
PDI HD Bore up cylinders are being ordered.
Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x50 scopes are being ordered.
Springer v9.2 S-Triggers have been ordered.
Pistons will be ~150g+ out of 303 stainless since all are joule creeping 0.69g builds.
Springs not yet determined.
Barrels will be 6.01 EdGi, but length has yet to be determined. I'll be sacrificing a barrel to dial in optimal length and crown taper, then using a monolith core to both stabilize the inner barrel and provide controlled diffusion.
Hop chambers will be modified for brass flat nubs. I use them in my other 0.69g platforms and like how they perform with a proper r-hop.
The bolt handles will probably be unique for each, though I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do with them.
The receivers already have the 1/4" hole necessary for the Wolverine kits so those should be a drop in fit if you were looking at going that route.It'll be a minute before I get to building mine. I have a number of projects I'm working on that are ahead of it. I did grab an EdGi 290mm 5.98ID ported steel barrel for it, with the intention of doing an internally """surpressed""" HPA build, but I might try to make my own HPA system. Something with a three way valve and a reservoir seems pretty simple.
I built a CYMA CM701 HPA gun like what you mentioned.It'll be a minute before I get to building mine. I have a number of projects I'm working on that are ahead of it.

Hmm custom piston like the wasp and sap, you got my attention. Are you maybe going to make and sell them? Just curiousYa, it's changed a decent amount since it was originally assembled as I've been ironing out other general VSR platform quirks.
I think the big changes to his have been:
-My arm/nub for AA chambers
-Maple leaf Autobot 60 degree bucking
-My custom piston (it's like a high-end WASP)
-My custom self-adjusting cylinder head
-Also switched to a short inner barrel (200mm) plus integral suppression
