Stage of the SRS in early 2024.
Deceided to write a detailed update post on what my build is exactly at the moment.Had to realise that it would be to massive to write in one single post, so I will split it up into pieces.First part is the externals, next is the hopup area.Part 1.: The externals.You will find a description of each item or modification detailed, and why it is done.As the poet says let’s go from tip to butt.The base is an SRS A2 16″, with the fixed top rail. Maybe at some point I will change it to an M2 with full rail…
The supp is the usual, Silverback DTSS .300.I tried all sort of different internals, different type of foams laser cut into it, none improved the suppresson at all. At this moment I consider swapping the original foam to anything completely pointless.On the handguard there are M-Lok covers, you can find them on ebay for a few bucks, there are diffrent designs and colors available.On the bottom there is a small rail piece, that is metal for bipod mounting, the grip is an M-Lok Magpul AFG replica, it’ a nice low profile one, I just prefer its ergonomics.The right side of the handhuard a polymer M-lok, that is for mounting a PEQ for night.On the top there is a low profile rail piece, it’s for the scopecam (there will be a dedicated scopecam post)The left side is for the QD sling mount, it’s steel, I prefer that over the built in sling mount surface, the aluminium will wear out eventually.
The scope is a Vortex replica, the 1-10×24 FFP, 34mm tube. The reticle is really nice and thin. It is the best replica scope I seen so far, I use it at zoom 3x and the bb path nicely trackable even at 100m when the conditions are ideal. The only negative thing about it is the relatively low light transmission, if you want to look into a dark building you will have a hard time to identify targets. Sadly I do not kkow the brand of the replica.The scope mount is a 1.54″ Nightforce raplica, it’s solid, light and nicely made.I’m using bubble levels as you see, that is a MUST for accurate shooting, if you cant it only a few ° your bb will turn left to right. Holding it leveled is a key for succesfull longer range engagement! I even have one on the left side, because if I have to take a shot from left shoulder it just annoys me that I couldn’t check the bubble.
As you see even if it’s an A2 I’m using an A1 dust cover, it is secured by olive 3M tape. Simply flips to the side during dissasembly, it saves a whole lot of headache. You can find it as A1 or A2/M2 left hand dust cover.I removed the cheekrest entirely, it gave a few mm extra to comfy see through the low scope. I covered the metal with the same 3M tape, yes I use it to about everything…The plastic stock itself is laser engraved to give it a rougher texture and extra depth to the paintjob.
Finally the mag.Originally I use the alu Silverback mags. BUT I got the shot shell adapter, and to be honest I find it just extremely funny that it feeds from that, just like my Mk23… It is a jag arms transparent shell, and originally it is the worst shell I ever seen, it’s expensive, the spring is weak, the follower stucks, it’s awefull…. To make it work I had to transfer the spring and follower from cyma shells. Now it works properly.That is about the externals. If you have questions feel free to ask.
