Review of JG AK SVD Sniper Rifle Airsoft Gun

The JG AK SVD is an airsoft gun that's modeled after the famous Russian sniper rifle. Out of the box, you can expect a Hi-cap 250 round magazine, bipod, stick battery, and charger. When I put this gun on the scale, it weighed around 3 kg and as such aiming down the sights is more difficult than with a standard assault rifle. Also this gun does not come with adequate iron sights that make your job just that much harder. Also this is not taking into account the weight of the bipod that adds more torque to the front end, also making it harder to fire from the shoulder. Even though this gun is advertised as a sniper rifle, it does not include a scope mount out-of-the-box and it is relatively expensive to buy one. The fake wood is tacky and even the battery takes a bit of work to install into the upper receiver. The only redeeming factor about this gun is that it only costs $150 on most sites. However, you will have to spend at least another 150 in order to upgrade this gun to playable standards.
If you do plan on buying this gun, I would recommend a 6.03 tight bore barrel to increase accuracy and range, a M110 or higher power spring in order to improve FPS and a metal hop up system. Most of the parts that come with the gun are absolutely trash and you are going to need to replace them inevitably if you use this gun as your main. The stock is made of imitation wood and feels slightly awkward. I don't know of that many replacements for the stocks though. Also, be extra careful if you plan on installing a silencer on this gun because the flash hider is actually mounted with a reverse-thread on the front sight and not on the actual outer barrel. Also, a silencer would not be the best idea. This gun already measures at about 4 feet long and the addition of a silencer would make this gun even more unwieldy. One of the few things I liked about this gun is the upgrade potential. If you have the technical know how and the funds required, this could become a formidable weapon. You will undoubtedly need a scope mount and magnifying scope to have this gun qualify as a real sniper.
