Well I got a A&K SVD. HAHA Yes. No AtoZ!
Well I got a bag of .36 and the svd for only 138 dollars at the evike walk in store with their Halloween sale.

Ok my questions.
1 My bbs roll out the barrel same with my jg bar 10 what is wrong.

2 The gun hooks left. I would think that much of a problem. I could just get a scope and compensate for that.

3 OK to make the bolt pull easier should I lube the piston and cylinder. With what should I do it with. White lithuim grease?
My info so far on it. Quarter sized groupings at 65 feet. Pretty dang amazing considering it has a left hook to it.

My video on it so far. Just saying.

1 They are clearly rolling out of the barrel. You need to adjust for more hop, probably.

2 Take it apart and make sure everything is centered/aligned.

3 White Li Grease. Look for non-biodegradable, it tends to react less with your hands.

 

[nelsonho396]

Thanks cheese.
1 Yes I need to turn on hop I just got it out of box.
2 Yes I will check that.
3 What do you mean react less with your hand.

 

[nelsonho396]

Accuracy is very good with the SVD. I am hitting a cellphone sized target 9/10 times at 150 feet. Just got to compensate for the left curve. Really don`t need to compensate.

 

[suomijorma]

lubing the piston and cylinder wont make the bolt pull easier, because when you pull the bolt the whole cylinder set moves not only the piston. But ofcourse its always good to lube things

 

[nelsonho396]

Ok thanks suomi. What do you think I should do. Even with a padded palm glove it hurts like a bastard. Of course I`m going to lube the internals.

 

[suomijorma]

What I did to mine was I put a short piece of metal pipe on to the handle and some epox, after that, just black tape over it so it doesn't look so raped. The looks of the gun suffer a bit but its either the looks or your fingers

 

[nelsonho396]

Did you use copper piping and if what size. Do you think PVC would work. All I have is JB Weld should I use or just get epoxy.

 

[suomijorma]

PVC is fine, all that matters is that it fits the handle. JB-weld should do the trick holding the piece on. I had a little piece of steel that I put on with epoxy.

 

[newbie]

is it actually curving left or the bb is travelling straight but to the left of where you are aiming? if it is actually curving you should be able to fix that at the hop up or by cleaning the barrel. Sometimes when the barrel gets dirty it can cause the bb to travel one way or another.

 

[nelsonho396]

Ok thanks Suomi. Newbie now the gun is fine. At 70 feet all shots are touching I think I had to break it in a little.
I just need a way to make the bolt cock easier.
Also what ak side scope mount works for the svd. Would you think this one?
Supposedly some people said it will work. Might have to go to the walk in store to test it.

Also what scope do you think is good. I have a budget of 40 dollars.

 

[suomijorma]

I dont think that in airsoft a 300dollar scope is needed, I use a Tasco 3-9x 40mm scope and I bought it for 45

 

[nelsonho396]

Ok.... I didn`t say 300 dollar scope but okay. I might get a tasco 3-9x 40 and that is only 34 dollars at walmart.

 

[suomijorma]

I know, it was just an example because some airsofters buy really expensive scopes

 

[nelsonho396]

Cough Holo. But do you think the tasco scope is good and which would you get the 40 or 50. I think 40 would be better because its nice a smaller.

 

[suomijorma]

I've been happy with the tasco, Id get a 50mm lens scope because it lets you see better in the dark. Its not that much bigger than the 40mm

 

[nelsonho396]

Ok Ill go for the 50mm. 3 dollars more isn`t that expensive so okay. By the way how does a 50 mm scope help you see better in the dark than a 40 mm scope.

 

[suomijorma]

well the lens of the scope works like an eye, notice when you're in the dark and your pupils go big? this happens so your eyes can "suck" more light and see better. so when the lens of the scope is bigger it can "suck" more light from the surroundings. that was a weird explanation but I hope you get the point

 

[nelsonho396]

Ok I got it. Ok I guess I might go for the 50.

 

[newbie]

plus 50 mm scopes of decent quality have a larger field of view at a given range. meaning you can see more at a given magnification which can help you identify targets while in the scope
