Which rifles out there are completely VSR-10 upgradable? I'd preferably like to find one that is an M24/variant if possible but can't seem to find any that are completely upgradable with VSR-10 parts. Am I missing something or is the Bar-10 and the g-spec TM VSR-10 the only completely VSR-10 rifles out there?

If it is the latter can someone possibly recommend a M24/variant rifle to me that is completely upgradeable with mostly VSR-10 parts with a few other oddball upgrades? I'm just trying to figure out what my options are.

I also prefer the M24's sweet looks, but M24's I believe are either APS2-based (Javelin Gun Works, Snow Wolf) or have proprietary parts. So no, I highly doubt any M24's are VSR10 compatible. I'm pretty sure the BAR10 is the only 100% VSR10 clone out there, although the WELL MB02 is basically the same thing, just with a shorter barrel, and the AGM MP001 and the TSD SD700 come close. If you really want a VSR10 clone, then BAR10 hands down, I have one and it's 100% compatible. I have to say I sort of regret not getting an M24, since the M24 has a much higher cool factor IMO.

100% compatible but remember that the laylax cylinder head doesn't (always) fit the stock cylinder as the threads are different.

You could always make your own stock.

 

[chachaseeds]

True... I don't have the skill to do so though. Anyways, the BAR10 isn't too ugly either, I like the matte rubbery finish.

Would you guys possibly be able to recommend someone who could make me a custom M24 stock that I could put on a BAR-10? I would be happy to pay to get that done.

I could get one made for you, but it would not be cheap, not at all. I mean, at least the cost of the BAR-10 and the M24, and at most machining costs for a whole new stock.

You could possibly get an M24 stock and just modify it to fit a VSR rifle.

Also would this part work in the BAR-10?

Actually experience on this would be appreciated!

 

[recon337]

Cheeseman, define not cheap? Would you happen to have an estimate? Also would it have a working adjustable butt stock and working sling attachments?

 

[Cheese Man]

If I have to model and then have a custom stock machined we are looking at $400-500 easy, possibly more. But, it can have any features you want.

 

[recon337]

O.O Wow you weren't kidding about expensive haha. Yeah, that would definitely be out of my price range as appealing as it sounds. I would put a budget of around $200 if I was having one made as such. I appreciate the offer though!

 

[woogie]

What would be the option of having it done out at shape ways or something? Then take it somewhere and have them glass over the body?

 

[Cheese Man]

It would be very expensive. Once you get that big, CNC is about the same price, so I would rather have CNC than printed, personally.

Not to mention, their materials are not as strong as CNC aluminum, so a stock would not be good.

 

[woogie]

Could you imagine a full M40 style stock made out of aluminum!

Talk about the "BLING"

That piston wouldn't work in a BAR/VSR10. That part is clearly for L96/APS2 guns. That would probably work in a JGW/Snow Wolf M24 though

If you really wanted an M24, I would go for the JGW/Snow Wolf model, as it is compatible with APS2 parts:

http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Javelin_Airsoft_Works_M24_Spring_Sniper_Rifle/2712

All three are the exact same gun, Javelin apparently has better customer support.

APS2 parts are almost as common as VSR10 parts, you could still easily get upgrades for it. I actually regret not buying that bada$$ M24...

 

[recon337]

Well I've personally had too many issues for aps2 compatibility in certain rifles and therefore, I am done with aps2 models for a while. Thanks for the reply on that though because the part looks just like all the pistons you would buy for a vsr rifle but I wanted to be sure.

Well alright, no problem. Remember that all Laylax PSS96 parts are for APS2.

 

[recon337]

Tell that to the Laylax parts I tried to install into my rifle. None of them wanted to play nice at all. Made me quite sad I must admit.

It is going a tiny bit off topic as well but would anyone recommend AirsoftGI's cylinder and cylinder upgrade for the BAR-10? Also do they play nice with any other brands? For example would the AirsoftGI Masamune Cylinder play nice with Laylax cylinder internals?

This is the cylinder I speak of in case you don't know about it:

Just looks like a good way to save $30 on a tougher metal Teflon cylinder.
