It, well, works. No visible issues or uneven chromed surface, doesn't seem to scratch easily. Shoots straight and at a decent price that's not horribly expensive for a chromed carbon steel barrel.
That's really all to it so far.
Silverback Tac41
Just got my sba tac41 a few days ago.
I do not have time to run a full review at one phase so I will post in segments when I have time to look at different aspects of the rifle.

First thing first, this rifle is solid.
Feels just as it should, the barrel really free floats in the stock, the handling is smooth and everything works as supposed to.
Assembly and dissasembly is quite simple also.
![19040]()
Today it's the cylinder unit.
The piston bodies are compatible, just as the piston heads. As you see already installed the sear end on a VMP. For the removal I just used the nut included with the VMP and a screwdriver as a lever through the piston side hole. It also fits MouseFart piston head.
The good news is, since the cylinder head is full cncd so the brakes works even better than on the SRS. The 'bad' news is I had to install an other bumper O ring on the brake as you see (will be included in all MF order from now on). This required because the original piston head is 1mm longer, and with the MF the sear end slides 1mm further, so the sear can not engage the piston. With the extra O ring as a temporarly solution it works as intended. Already changed the design on MF1.4 to adapt this.
Regard muzzle energy and noise output you can expect about the same as in the SRS with similar setup. The sound is a little sharper and springy twang, but these are just the very first shots I took without optimaliseation. Racking of the bolt is very smooth already, got to get used to the old style bolt loading again 😅
The engagement of the sear is really effortless just as it should be, more on that on the trigger group segment.
So far happy!
Until next post feel free to post questions if you have any so I can take a look at those parts specially.

Great thread. Faceless, I have to post this here because of what I just saw on your homepage. In several of those barrels, I saw the forward edge of the bucking window was cut on a forward angle.
![Product Font Automotive tire Material property Automotive design]()
I had recently bought a 6.03 barrel and the shop ground that type of angled cut into it for me, as it had no bucking window in stock condition. I mentioned this angled cut on another (linked) airsoft site, and was told VOCIFEROUSLY by the admin there that he'd NEVER seen a barrel cut that way. When I mentioned that I would have to file it myself to straighten it out and make it like my stock barrel, I was admonished NOT to do so, and to leave the barrel as it was. I was confused, the barrel had what he'd described as a bad cut, but then I was told not to correct it and leave my rifle stock, when the whole purpose of that site seems to be builds and mods. So I filed it down on that front edge so it was like the stock barrel that had come in my rifle ( a Snow Wolf M24 ). I then put the stock bucking back on, and made a 'nub' of sorts from a piece of rubber tubing.
Can you tell me why they cut the bucking window with that type of angle on the forward edge?
Thanks!

So I am assed enough to buy myself a second TAC-41 entirely for a box opening review (that has been probably years too late), and this one is notably more consistent than my first……dunno why.
Either way, having the gun completely disassembled and reassembled I still think this is probably the easiest airsoft BASR to work on, literally no need to strip it down to undo anything particularly important (cylinder and barrel could be accessed without a takedown of the stock unlike say the VSR or the SSG24), although I still would appreciate if it has most of the Allen Keys needed to detail strip it from the stock
