A&K Dragunov SVD Spring Airsoft Rifle Review

[armyevan101]

ill pay 200 dollars for that gun!

[Nukenstan]

I have an l96, and i love it. i can hit anything with it, despite it having a shorter barrel. The barrel lenghts on airsoft guns are not as important as on real guns, it just needs to be long enough to get the bb going straight. too long and it will slow the bb down due to friction.

[MrGerman1st]

To remove the bolt, you remove the trigger housing by pushing out the safety catch from the rail side. After the housing is gone, just slide the bolt all the way back and up.

[MrGerman1st]

Awesome review . . .

[drorg83]

240p? seriosly?

[Michael7059]

to help you out here is a link were you can buy a rail attachment for it it should line p perect mine does. go to amazon. c om and type in UTG 5th Gen Quick Detachable Double Rail AK Side Mount

[gowhordslayer2011]

I drop mine on the ground, what could have been affected by that

[groundpounder247]

@gowhordslayer2011 barrel alignment. its trunnion only secures the barrel with three set screws and a single tooth. Dropping it might knock your barrel around. other than that you should be good man. its bare bones in design.

[Miguel192]

Alright, i was about to close the window then i saw the 240p,but i keep watching and i realy enjoyed it. Only means that video quality isnt what matters.

I only have one question, if anyone can answer...

Is the mag compatible with the AK ones?

[groundpounder247]

@Miguel192 no. the real SVD is a 7.62x54R, while the AK47/M series are 7.62x39mm. Entirel60y different magazine. Only compatible with SVD magazines from A&K. The newer V2 SVD's (just acquired one in a trade) come with 60 round midcaps, have subtle changes to construction and a reinforced trigger sear.

[Miguel192]

@Miguel192 Apreciated.

[1985Mirabal]

Thanks, now the 0.3 flies very far. I have't been able to try it in many defferent conditions, from my window it hops a bit to the left after 60m, that must be the wind, or just normal. thanks

[1985Mirabal]

I just bought this gun, i'm still trying to figure out how to adjust the hop up for 0.3 bbs, they dont fly :( even doing 500fps with 0.2

[groundpounder247]

@1985Mirabal pull back the bolt and adjust the small 1.5 or 2mm allen set screw on top of the chamber if im not mistaken. turn left until the hop is off, then shoot a round, see where it goes, turn twice to the right, shoot a round, twice to the right, shoot a round etc until you "walk" your rounds into place. If you do it right you should have a slight arc to the shot necessitating aiming towards the knees or lower at mid-range. this will allow you to hit targets at long range.



[Hardcoreshooter1000]

i dont want to get a dragunov scope for mine cause its 200 bucks, 50 more than the gun

[RaptorDiablo]

Get a Mid cap @ evike.com :D?

[Jondude201]

Great video man, I just had one question: I have the same A&K SVD, and it's the newest version I think, but my bolt is extremely difficult to pull back, so what does that mean? I'm 18 and strong enough, and I've seen videos of other people pulling the bolt back with no effort at all, so I was just wondering if there's something wrong with my spring, or if I just have to deal with it?

[groundpounder247]

@Jondude201 new and stiff spring

[loungelovers]

Good review!

Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

[picure]

I tried mounting a AK74 Type 2 Bayonet. It does not fit! My SVD is the 2nd edition SVD and the bayonet lug is like 1mm too large for the bayonet.

[groundpounder247]

@picure the dragunov svd was introduced in 1963, while the AK74 was released almost ten years later. My mistake. It should take an AK47 or AKM bayonet, however the AK74 has a different pattern muzzle brake.

[BenChillaxin]

Even with a stiff bucking it's a bit unpredictable and disappointing. I don't bother with a scope much with my airsoft guns as I can pretty much see my bb fly 200 feet. This is my favorite gun next to my upgraded ak74.

[BenChillaxin]

I haven't read through all the comments but I'd thought I'd share my experience. I've got mine at 450fps with 0.2 and a 6.01 inner barrel. Hop up plain sucks, so I wouldn't worry about adjusting it much. Once I turn the hop up all the way off the bbs fly really predictably to 150-175 feet. I'm shooting .36.

[McLOVINMike]

mid caps for this gun are only about 16 bucks. im planning on getting one

[d1v4dPwnz]

good review, helpful :D

[R0FLLMA0WTF]

hahaha i love the transcribe audio

[R0FLLMA0WTF]

470 fps jesus i saw it only had 400

[toofattocare77]

Ok got this gun. Hop up is pretty bad. Since it's pretty tough to hit a target about 100 ft out, I can't recommend it. If the hop up worked it would be fine but it's too inconsistent. Every once in a while it will shoot straight then the next 7 shots will either go WAY left or WAY right. Using .25g bbs I can see the hop up isn't working as it should. The bbs aren't curving up even with the hop up turned all the way up. Just get a different gun, the looks aren't worth it.

[CovingtonOfficial]

Could I buy this gun off you? :(

[groundpounder247]

@Ryth1900 the cyma mount like I said offsets your scope's centerline as its gauged for an AK reciever. If you rotate the drum on the bottom of the lock-lever pin after disengaging the lugs, you can tighten the clamp distance for the SVD rails.

To age it, use some fine grit sandpaper. remember that humidity on the exposed metal will start a rusting spree that will run rampant if unattended so regularly wipe it down with oil and store it in a warm dry place when possible.

[groundpounder247]

@Ryth1900 yeah it does. thats just a spring rifle for you.

[toofattocare77]

Great review, this definitely informed my purchase of this gun. Thanks!

[Gonzap94]

Nice in "Detail"

[profalconey3]

is it new or you tuning it?

[T16Akatsuki]

haha i love your reviews for your rants and not for the guns

[TheRogue555]

i whas thinking about getting this gun. but i hawe heard its rly rly hard to cock (? dont remember what its called in eng so im just gessing ^.^)

[groundpounder247]

@T16Akatsuki glad I could be of service.

[AJaxProductions1]

hey ur wearin a usa flag shirt when doing a review on a soviet gun u COMMIE jk lol

[ArcticWolverines]

That gun is nice awesome video!

[AssassinsGprods]

Wen u say that u can removed the front sight and flash hider by removing the alen screw, do u just unscrew that hole piece once the screw is out. Mine seems pretty stuck so i want to know that ur suposed to unscrew it before u give it a good crank. And btw wat is under the flash hider and sight is it just a 14mm threaded barrel

[groundpounder247]

@AssassinsGprods it may be superglued from the factory. gently twist it to see if you can break that weld.

no threads. the rifle is long enough as is....you dont need a suppressor.

[ledinrangers]

sermax6 its embrace not embrais

[NinjaRiCe47]

heheh.... "Read your rubber" haha thanks for the disassembly i really need that ^^

[xvxjulienxvx]

This could kill a rabbit right?

[hatstalker]

the svd shoots 450 fps not 470.

that mag is standard I think, the 190 round one is standard.

[groundpounder247]

@hatstalker mine chronos 472 average in a ten shot spread of Airsoft Elite .20g bbs in a madbull chronograph.

[hatstalker]

the svd shoots 450 fps not 470.

that mag is standard I think, the 190 round one

[AssassinsGprods]

@hatstalker well mine was doing 520 fps stock

[groundpounder247]

@AssassinsGprods I wonder what your chrono was fucked up on...

[groundpounder247]

@hatstalker newer ones are coming out with midcaps. my friend has it. the newer ones are a lot simpler, lighter and cheaper from what I can tell in a side by side comparison...

[rotab1129]

i own this my self but in black and i tecked it out tigh borre barrel nice spring and a new piston and a fiber opticz and it shoots fps of 550 with point 2s its nice but i think i know a guy who can make make the metal steel and im happy about of it

[0007000X]

really nice review, you really know what you're talking about, i'm gonna get mine in the local store for $180 when i get the money -_- but i just love the SVD, yours looks so sexy lol

[sermax6]
