Donut Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I got really bored. I had an Atoz SVD which I sold to a friend, but we've always joked about how huge it is, being only 5'8", the gun is very awkward on me and my friend. He wanted to shorten it and mount a silencer at the gas tube, but I said *fruitcage* that and went further. Here are the things left to do -Mount a front sight -Reshape whatever is left of the handguard -Reshape the magazine a little -Paint part of the bolt to make it look smaller I know it's not spot on, and it never will be, but it feels really fun to play with, like something you can just slung on the back and use it any time.

firewolf Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Nice work dude, Personally I think the Vintorez looks like *suitcase* but what you've got there is very cool Link to post Share on other sites
Lajjvo Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Looks smart. All you need is a real russian scope. Preferably a PSO-1 Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 the thing about the vintorez though, is that the mag is placed directly in front of the trigger guard, so yours just looks wrong. but its nice. however, i wouldn't put that much work into a springer that cant shoot that far. i dont mean to be negative. but, as far as i remember, you have guns, you should have started with a normal AK.

Horsem4n Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 yeah, but he called it a vintorez in the title. thats what set me off a little. Link to post Share on other sites
W1dget Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 however, i wouldn't put that much work into a springer that cant shoot that far. Springers usually shoot further than any AEG. Its very difficult to get an air seal as good as a springer on an AEG. Also, A&K Cloned these recently and i have personally seen a headshot from one at 80m. Granted it was running 530fps.

Sure, TM VSR's will shoot amazing because their hopup system is almost literally perfect, but the Atoz is not an upgraded TM VSR-10. It really does not shoot that well.

Horsem4n Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 yeah W1dget, when i said "a springer" i was specifically referring to the AtoZ style dragunov. its air seal is poopoo... Link to post Share on other sites

Username_Here Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hah, thats kids "VSS" looks like *suitcase* to? Especially that horribly made wood stock. http://www.airsoftcore.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=51434 <- Awesome VSS http://www.airsoftcore.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=51509 <- Another awesome VSS Notice how they actually look like a VSS, not a JG AK with some pvc on the front and a overly coated piece of low quality wood gone at with a dremel...

Horsem4n Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 well, donut's doesnt look like *suitcase*, it just looks wrong. and that kid can salvage his VSS if he does what he needs to do to round the bottom of the handguard and add AK open sights to that suppressor. but, obviously the stock is *suitcase* tastic.

Username_Here Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 I like the look of Donut's, although it is far from a VSS. As for the JG brand VSS in the other link... eh... I'm not even going to begin. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Blue Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Personally, I like it. Not enough people on the forum are brave enough to show off their work to the masses. Kudos. Btw, hows that 10/22 of yours? Link to post Share on other sites
