First off I want to say, how glad I am this board is here. I'm relatively new to airsoft, and now a sniper role.

I have some ideas for a build, but I'd like to ask you guys to tell me what I might be doing wrong. And before anyone says it... I'm not trolling, and have done my own research but am simply trying to avoid any unneccasary spending like I did on my AEGs when I got them.

Here's my build

TM VSR-10 or JG Bar-10. - Can't really decide of the TM is worth the extra $$$.

Laylax PSS10 VSR10 Spring Guide - $27
Laylax PSS10 VSR10 Inner Barrel 555mm - I plan to add a suppressor I already have - $55.00
Laylax VSR-10 Silencer Attachment System (S.A.S.) -$19.00
Laylax VSR-10 Zero Trigger -$175.00
Laylax VSR-10 170SP Spring Upgrade for <550fps events -$21.00
Laylax VSR-10 Teflon Cylinder -$100.00
Laylax VSR-10 150SP Spring Upgrade - For <500fps events-$20.00
Laylax VSR-10 Cylinder Damper - $ 20.00
Nine Ball VSR-10 Hop Up Bucking $23.00

Total cost - $ $460.00 not including the gun.

Am I missing anything? Am I overkilling it? Is there a less expensive way?

Thank you in advance for your insight!

Hmm, I see you are lego building. The barrel is stupidly long, just get a 430 6.03 (pdi has better barrels but they cost more) and do the milk can mod to the silencer (look inthetallgrass's guide on his sig) to make it lot more quiet, I recommend you to get a r-hop from hunterseeker5armory and if everything falls to their places, you should have a laser rifle, but you "need" to do things like shimming the hopup arm, barrel spacers etc.

I would go the JG BAR-10 route and do every DIY mod you can. Play with that a few games to make sure you like sniping if you haven't played the role yet. If you do like it, then spend all the money on the parts listed above. If you don't like it, then you're not out a lot of money.

As far as the build goes, it looks pretty good except for what Worst mentioned about the barrel. I would agree with him. I would also add the TM Precision Hop-Up, especially if you go the BAR-10 route.

I'm thinking the 150sp will get you to around 550 FPS, but I'm not sure. Can somebody confirm?

 

[yawger20]

If I do the 150sp, I wont really need the teflon cylinder will I?

 

[wesley810]

I wouldn't think so, but it would make the bolt pull a lot easier and smoother. That's a thing that I would eventually get over time.

 

[yawger20]

Couldnt I buy teflon spray and coat the stock cylinder myself? From what I hear, the cylinder's coating wears anyway

Plus it was save me $100.00

 

[WorstInFinlanD]

It just depends what king of spray it is, but I guess it would do the same job as white lithium grease.

 

[yawger20]

So it appears that buying the cylinder would be a waste of money since I could do it myself... correct?

 

[wesley810]

Never heard of the teflon grease. I would just run the stock cylinder with some white lithium grease.

 

[WorstInFinlanD]

The teflon cylinder probably is more smooth, also it's more durable, but the stock cylinder can take m150 if cocked properly, you should try the stock cylinder with m150 spring and see if the smoother pull is worth 100 bucks.

They make a spray you can use, but it's actually a coating usually made by Dupont.

 

[wesley810]

I think I've seen that at Lowe's. That would probably work good for lube. The teflon cylinders are actually coated with some sort of teflon and then you still use some sort of lubrication, but it make the bolt pull very easy.

I have that teflon spray and its fantastic! I put some on my gears when I shimmed them a couple months ago and at 19 rounds a second (everything is bone stock) the gears still have a super thin layer of teflon on them. Fantastic lube and is safe for o-rings!

Sweet, may have to pick some up in the near future. Glad to hear it works well.
