Vsr 10 Piston Problem

DarkkillA · June 15th, 2009, 14:31

Hey i bought a Vsr 10 and it works good but i also have a new Piston but the problem is that the piston does not fit in, i can screw it in down to the end of the cylinder head threads but then it will not go any further.

Where as the stock piston just slides in and out with out any screwing or any problem. (i know there is no o-ring on the stock one it is on the new one since it is tighter than the one that the new one came with)

Is there a way to decrease the size of the white ring's evenly to make it slide in or go in properly to work how it is made to?

Any help would be great and much appreciated
thanks in advance to anyone that helps
Dan

is it a bore up piston?
and are you using a laylax cylinder with a laylax piston? Or are you mixing and matching parts?

I am not sure what a bore up piston is but this is what i got.

I am mixing and matching parts everything is stock other than the hop up rubber and this piston, i guess it could be as well that it is the clone. (tsd)

The piston ring(2 white POM ring) is large. It will fit with a little modification

Alright I now can put it in and it acts the same as the original except that it makes the spring scratch against the sides of the cylinder where the original does not

hey dude, i have the same problem and purchased the orange piston from airsoft gi. Everything i have is stock but this orange piston. I dont know if it will work but after having conversations with proffessionals they said this would fix a slam firing problem. Im pretty sure that the red one is for a fully updated upgrade system. The orange one is 35 bucks from the us if your interested. ill talk again when i get it and see if it works.

I've worked on many vsr10 snipers and I can tell ya that yes it will work if u very very carefully grind down the white polyethylene buffers to the same diameter as the metal however id reccomend going with the laylax cylinder upgrade instead. Worth the money and also not having the headache of wrecking a very expensive piston

It is the other way around... red piston is for stock trigger system where the orange is for upgraded V-trigger or Zero trigger (both about 200$ each for just the trigger)

The orange one will "work" with the stock sears but expect to change them twice a year at least.

vsrsnipersquad · July 28th, 2010, 16:21

well this orange one with all the stock internals is crazy,

if you pull the bolt back slowly, then it doesnt work at all, it just jumps over like the previous time. If you really slam the bolt back, then it catches but the second you try to put it forward it slams. I am pretty sure that this means the piston sear is worn, but if this orange one isnt designed for the stock trigger then i could be wrong. Im not that sure but i think im gonna send it back to buy airsoft to get it fixed by there technician.

... All these new threads about people trying to build cheap VSR-10's are starting to give me a headache...

My VSR's sitting disassembled in her case right now rocking back and forth crying to herself while she waits for the cylinder head to go out and come back from the machinist..

Kos-Mos · July 28th, 2010, 16:45

What are you having done to it? Out of curiosity... I am looking for one that is flat to install a sorbo kit... but the PDI is cone shaped and the Laylax "pro" is impossible to find...

CJay · July 31st, 2010, 00:42
