Silverback SRS A1 anyone?

Just saw a video by RW about this. The two things that really grabbed my attention was their two way hop up adjustment and the fact they (apparently) take AEG barrel/hopup units.

Really cool rifle, and Id like to see that two way hop up on some more rifles. Looks very promising, the groupings were pretty tight for a stock (spring) gun, albeit the range was short.

Couldn't care less about the looks, though, or their weird bolt mechanism.

Thoughts? Their hop up seems to not be a gimmick this time 'round. Seems like it actually works.

This one was designed by a well known french airsofter. The guy has made crazy custom rifles in the past. He really knows what he's doing. I followed the development of the rifle on a forum where he hangs out and you can tell its a labor of love. Not a single piece of pot metal on there. No cheap ABS plastic either. Its rather expensive but its really well made. The only parts that could need an upgrade are the barrel and hop rubber. It also takes regular AEG piston heads, the conical so called silent piston heads. Its is possible to r-hop the rifle, but will probably require the special hs5 plastic cover thing.

The shortest one has a 450mm barrel... Longer than a stock VSR10. There is really no need for the longer ones other than look. The covert/short one would make a great sniper-rifle-of-opportunity. Sling it on your back and forget about it until you happen to be well placed for that perfect shot.

A great project so far. Hope that no major problem will be found after release.

Yeah, I've got that "barrel bore quality over everything" mentality now, so I saw the two Li get barrels as purely cosmetic. It really does look very well made, and I'm surprised that it is basically a custom gun.

Does he make the rifles by himself in shop or does he outsource his production? Seems like it would be a very expensive rifle if they're all made by hand.

He's not making them himself. He works for Silverback now.
