Hi everyone. I am planning on building my first Vsr and hope you guys could give me some feedback on this build. Thank you in advance =)

Base- echo 1 psr (jp-88)
Aa hop up chamber
Aa zero trigger with blue 90 degree piston
Maple leaf autobot 70 bucking
Aa m150 spring
Aa 6.01 x 430mm barrel
Aa barrel spacers
Aa cylinder and cylinder head
Aa spring guide
Bbs .3 (undecided still)
I have never upgraded an airsoft gun before and assuming I air seal everything properly, what type or performance can I expect with this build?

I would recommend .40 bbs for the barrel length. You can probably achieve 80-90yds pretty consistently. Your max range would be like 100yds-110yds but you might not achieve it consistently but it's Airsoft, your won't be making much past 80-90 yds without having to aim up. But action army parts are very high quality and will last you a very long time. If you have perfect air seal, you will get the maximum fps out of your rifle and very good fps consistency.

Thank you for the bb suggestion... what brand would you choose? That was kind of my goal though ... 100 yards

 

[Asianwarchief]

You can achieve 100 yards with this set up but you will have to aim up a little bit. Good bb brands are bioshot and Geoff.

 

[Tonyww]

OK thank you for your response!

100 yards with .3 resembles artillery fire though, you really need .4 to do that and then you still need to use some overhold. 100 yards is some crazy range.

With .4's, an effective range of 80-90 yards can be expected.

 

[Tonyww]

Yeah I wasn't sure about bb size... .4s it is ... I also should say that 100 yards was about my "max range" I had in mind... like stretching it out for the occasional kill... it would be crazy to see 100 plus yard shots very consistently though haha... thank you for your feedback!

You would most likely also have to up the spring to an M170 if you are going to use 0.4gm bb's. The M150 spring will still fire 0.4gm bb's but it won't have the power to get the bb out there to long range.

^^Recently installed and tested both AA m150 and m170. I had to cut the m170 down to get it down to 550 for field play around here. The performance against the m150 (490+ fps) was a noticeable change in distance/accuracy.

 

[Tonyww]

I guess I can always get the m170 and cut it down if I think it's too much

I would just add weight to the piston to slow it down. Then once the spring has worn in, take the weight off and your fps will then go back up.

 

[Tonyww]

I have until February till the field close to me opens up... I'm sure I can get the m170 broken in by then =)

What are your field limits?
I think you could order some .43g white bbs from Geoffs if you plan to use 550+ fps on a 430mm barrel.

What do you think about going with a 6.03 430mm aa barrel instead of the 6.01?

Field limits ( I believe ) are 600fps.. I looked around and did more research last night and decided I would go with the .43s ... I try to be a perfectionist haha and accuracy is a must!

I don't think you will be able to see any difference other than the 6.03 is more forgiving on shitty and dirty bbs.

Stick to the 600fps instead of the 550 then. Using a .43g will give you more range and accuracy.

Where do you guys order Geoff bbs from?

Thank you ... and are there decent alternatives just incase I can't find any in stock?
