Title: Airsoft, again.
Post by: FYB on May 13, 2009, 10:16:03 PM
Sorry to rebother with my newbieness of airsoft.

I went to http://www.evike.com/ and found a bolt action sniper. With my wanted requirements, but one.

I chose the TSD M700 LONG BARREL, http://www.airsoftpost.com/matrix-m700-long-barrel-airsoft-sniper-rifle-black-p-28581.html, the only problem, 430 - 450fps. Is there anyway of weakening the spring enough to lower it to around 380 - 400fps?

If you're going to ask why i want the sniper to be weaker, when i should want it to be stronger, its because of the restrictions at the field i want to go to.

Field website: http://www.sequoiaairsoft.com/

Any advice would be highly appreciated.

430-450, ouch that will hurt.

The worst pain i inflicted was one of my team mate shooting his grenade launcher at me 10 ft away.  my whole up side body had welts.

Evike's a terrible website, stay away.
Link to a review of the TSD M700 (http://www.airsoftretreat.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=248&cat=80)

Glancing through the review, the bolt is not sealed shut so you should be able to easily swap out the spring with an M110-M120 strength spring designed for the Tokyo Marui VSR series.

Well, I've decided that a full metal M4A1 carbine AEG would be best for me. By the way, where or what website is the best for airsoft?

That's a bit of a jump :lol What brand's the M4, curious?

Anyway, I have had personal experience with these retailers and can recommend them. All of these retailers have good prices, selections, and customer service.

United States- General Airsoft Supplies
www.airsoftgi.com (California)
www.airsoftnw.com (Washington)
www.trinityairsoft.com (Virginia or WV)

United States- Specialty Military Surplus
www.redsoldier.com (Texas IIRC)

I think I'm missing a few, but these are the websites I always go to first if I'm looking for something.


IF you can't find something, you may have to look overseas. Shipping can get bad if you're ordering a lot of stuff, however these retailers have huge selections.

Overseas- General Airsoft Supplies
www.wgcshop.com (Hong Kong)
www.uncompany.com (Hong Kong)
www.redwolfairsoft.com (Hong Kong)
www.airsoftglobal.com (Hong Kong)
