Hello all,

I will buy a TM VSR but i dont know if i will choose the pro sniper (standard one) or the Gspec.
The gspec has less inner barrel, probably result in lower accuracy!
What model should i get?
Thank you!

The shorter inner barrel has a minimal effect on accuracy, the supressor actually makes it more silent.

Base your decision on looks. If you like the silencer addition, but want the longer inner barrel, make sure to get a 430-500mm barrel when you upgrade it.

Yes you can change the inner barrel. However, Marui barrels are already excellent.
Only replace it if you really want the best of the best (Laylax, PDI, EDGi).

Difference in accuracy is so minimal, so yes, the looks should be your primary concern.

The pro version can be used with a silencer, but you'll have to get a silencer adapter first and the gun will become quite long with a silencer attached.

The g-spec has a better bolt handle. This means you are less likely to hit the scope when pulling the bolt/cylinder back. However, if you use proper technique, you will never hit the scope when pulling back.
And no, the pull is the same apart from that fact. Internally the guns are the same.

I was thinking about PDI inner barrel with 6.01.
The thing is, in here is easier to find 403mm inner barrel than the 303mm version, thats why i was thinking about the standard version. Changing from the original inner barrel to the 6.01 from PDI is a big difference? and the 303mm comparing the 403mm from the PDI is really minimal?
I am lost in so many information, and the local stores don give me the right information, they want to sell what they have in stock, that's why i come here. I want to get the best accuracy, even if i dont buy all the extras now i will do it until end of the year.
I want to buy the correct platform that will give me the best results

Mate, where are you from?

Also, please let me know what you are planning to upgrade. Barrel should not be first priority in a Marui build.

In fact, hop-up chamber is the only barrel assembly part that needs upgrading. I'd focus spending your money on a new trigger and cylinder set.

If you want to go PDI, always order from x-fire.org. It's the official PDI website. Do note that they ship from Japan, so make sure to take into account shipping fees, and import duties. Still, after taking that into account, they are still cheaper than local shops.

Hi there!
I am from Portugal, kind hard to find upgrade parts in here!
Well, i didnt decide what to upgrade first, i am reading a couple of tutorials... I want to upgrade something that will improve fps to 375 and accuracy! Thats why i was thinking about barrel. You think i should get first a cylinder set? For that probably it's better to go for JG bar no?

You can't open the Marui cylinder, it is completely welded shut/crimped and locked by a nasty pin. If you go Marui: you're going to replace the cylinder entirely if you want more FPS.

If you go JG, keep the stock cylinder.

And nothing against EDGi, but I'd recommend upgrading to a 90 degree trigger instead of using his inferior 45 degree system.

thank you for your all help!
I have other issue in here, the max fps we can use is 375/400... With this kits i will get near 500 and i cant use it.
I am even more confused :S i dunno if i go for gspec or pro sniper and i dunno what upgrades to get to go under 400 fps...
If i go for TM i need to change all cylinder, but i cant go to deep or i will pass the 400 fps. If i go for JG bar10 i cant really change anything because it is already above 400 :s
My head it's a mess :/

Get the JG. If you don't want all the fuss, just get the pro version.

Get the action army hop-up chamber, a good bucking and a good 430mm barrel.

Get the airsoftpro trigger set, ditch the spring and get a weaker spring for it.
 
#15 ·
I thought about that already... In here the TM costs around 270€ and the JG 100€... With the upgrades the JG will be the same price as the TM but with the upgrades... I was concerned about the quality of the JG :S In portuguese forums everyone says that JG is very bad quality :S In US JG has good quality?
Thank you again
 
#16 ·
The JG is the clone for the Marui, so if you plan on upgrading the internals it won't matter. Oh and work from front to back when upgrading (barrel-bucking-chamber-etc.)
 
#17 ·
I often work from the back to the front. Power first and match the right weight bb with the stock inner barrel (430mm = 0.43gm) will normally give you a very good starting point and you will be able to reach out long distances with pretty good accuracy. Then you can fine tune by upgrading the front.
So it is personal choice really.

thank you all for the support!
I found a JG bar10 in Portugal and i will get it. Than, i will follow the ultimate upgrade guide to put it cool. I am having problems in finding quality parts in here... Most of the parts are secondary chinese brands... Order from US is a pain in the ass, taxes plus costume will increase the price in around 200% :S

Hard to say. The airsoftpro/dangerwerx metal arm should help with the performance. But I'd recommend getting the Action Army chamber instead, it solves all the issues of the stock chamber.

And I have no experience with PDI raven products.

I'd look again for an AA chamber. Really, I can't say there is any chamber out there that'll get remotely close to it.

Also consider an AA barrel, they're pretty decent for the price. They have a proper barrel cut that will allow a W-hold bucking to work. I have no experience with deepfire, but I'd recommend action army any day :tup:

Like Reliku said. You will not find better than the AA Chamber. With the stock one you will never get 100% seal like the AA Chamber. Also, their barrels rock.
 
#28 ·
I installed a AA chamber today and noticed an increase of 15 FPS over the stock chamber. This is with an 430mm 6.05mm PDI barrel.

The airseal is epic. I did remove the outer alignment ridge and the nub mound + inner alignment ridge to incorporate the R-hop, but good stuff. AA parts are it.

Go for green gas. A lot of the CO2 pistols fire at 400+ fps which is not really a side arm

i got most of the parts now:

- Airsoftpro trigger 90Âş+piston+spring guide (installed)
- W PDI hop up rubber (Installed)
- Foam on stock
- Teflon tape on hopup rubber and cilynder head

Since the 150 and 190 spring didnt arrive yet i tried to shot... It's worst than the stock one ^^ this are easy to install parts i dont understand! dont know what could cause that! Today i will receive the springs and the dangerx arm to test it.
The hopup chamber will have to wait couple weeks for delivery :/

I didnt buy a new cylinder, i drilled the pin, probably i damaged it?
