Evening guys, girls and the often forgotten, but not by me, Romanian AK47s.
I'm getting bored of the Striker, managed to get it to shoot pretty consistently on .3g+ at 1 Joule, but the more time I spend tweaking it, the more I realize it's just a bad platform (as with all Ares guns really).
It's heavy, chunky, there is no way to render the pull smooth, mags are huge, expensive and hard to store. The only redeeming thing is the TDC.. Zero upgrades available too.
So here I am, looking for a good replacement.
The platform will be a VSR, because it's lightweight and there are a gazillion upgrades available for every budget. The SRS is out of my league and overkill for a 1J build.
The "requirements" for this build are the ability to internally suppress the gun (running a 300mm inner inside a 430mm outer) and a somewhat decent trigger/sears, possibly 90° from the factory. It's going to run @0.99J on the heaviest weight I can find (so 0.36g to 0.4)
I have eyed two candidates:
-Cyma VSR (Can't remember the name, cm700?)
-Action Army T-11
The first comes in at roughly €100 shipped and gives me a great margin for upgrades (trigger, piston and hop chamber),
The AA is 210ish posted and comes from the factory with a 90° trigger/piston.
Can't find anything on the T11 though, so I have no idea if it's decent or just a shiny turd 😞
If you guys could share some of your wisdom with me, I'd appreciate it.
(There is also a third option, a mk23 in a carbine kit, but let's keep it out for now as it's going to be a separate project as I'm trying to design my own)
EDIT: I forgot to mention that some parts will be taken from the striker, namely the AA 6.03x300mm steel inner and the hop rubber (ML MR-Hop 50°)
