Not bad, where'd you snag the PSO-1 and mounting rail from? Also, what did you use for the receiver cover?
Also, does the illuminated reticle in the PSO-1 still work? Or is the battery terminal fried? Also, what real gun did you destroy to get the gas transfer tube from? Please tell me you didn't demolish something like my baby here:  ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

To respond to your questions Tallen, this is not a PSO-1, but a POSP 4x24M with a SVD mounting mechanism, and yes the red reticle works beautiful at night, the scope works beautifully. I chose SVD over the AK mechanism to make it much real for purists like me and others (I would never dare to put a PSO-1 in a paintball marker). Also the mounting rail cost me $10.00 in a gun auction. The receiver cover was made from a metal sheet and cuted to fit the A-5 receiver, then I paintedI destroyed the real parts of the venerable SVD Dragunov to fit my marker. I won a bid of all the parts in an auction at Gunbroker.
Believe me or not, the gas tranfer tube is part of the TACAMO AK-47 barrel, and the muzzle was made from a 5" PVC Schedule 40 tube.
I like your PSL ROMAK. But the parts of your rifle would never fit with the look of my marker. Besides for pundits like me, the PSL ROMAK is not really a SVD Dragunov but a Romanian made Kalashnikov based rifle (ROmanian Avtomat Kalashnikova ROMAK) you can pick it up for $800 in a gun shop. The original SVD sells for up to $15,000.00 ------------- WE BUILD, WE FIGHT |

Oh, trust me, I know that the PSL-54C is no real dragunov, I was just wondering if you had destroyed a $800 gun to put the parts on a $200 marker 
Besides, if I had the 15k to blow on a SVD, I'd probably spend it on something a little more... shall we say... automatic? ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Well, I based my mod on the SVD Dragunov modern version, this version is made of polymer and is wildly used in the Russian Army, the clasic version (wood hand guards and stock) is used in other armies and I was not interested on.
I also made an AK-74 modern version as well, I will post it in the future ------------- WE BUILD, WE FIGHT |

| you have got to put a video of u using this thing up on youtube or something. and copy the link here. that would be awsome to see the accuracy and just to see it shoot. lol |

Unfortunately I don't have a video just yet. Here are some pros and cons of this marker: PROS: It shoots very accurately, there were no balls flying out of the normal path. I didn't brake any paint balls during the whole game, the bi-pod helps a lot when you are conceal waiting for the enemy. It produces a terrorizing effect on the opposite team when they see this monster. Also the noise level of this marker is very low (I prefer a louder marker). And finally, It is sturdy, I dropped a couple of times and I also used it as a shield every time we had to go through a thick brush. CONS: it is 43" long, not good in close quarters, hard to acquire a target with the scope and goggles, it wights 8 lbs. (This was not an issue for me, but for a weak player it is) MYTHS: This marker doesn't expend more or less air (I set up to the maximum speed the paintball field allows, 280f/s). It doesn't shoot any further than any other marker either. EQUIPMENT: Tippmann A-5 with a 20" J&J Ceramic barrel, and Blazer paint balls DAY CONDITIONS: Warmer, cloudy (75F) ------------- WE BUILD, WE FIGHT |

| i hear ya with the length maybe getting a little shorter of a barrel or finding a way to make the back of the gun a little shorter. idk as far as the scope thing what do u mean. |

There will always be PROS and CONS, if I eliminate all the CONS, most likely I will end up with a marker that definitely will not resemble an SVD Dragunov It is hard to look through any scope or binoculars wearing paintball goggles, this also applies to my SVD with this scope ------------- WE BUILD, WE FIGHT |

To expand on this observation for newer players: The stock Tippmann velocity adjuster restricts air flow as opposed to altering the amount of air released from the valve. This means that every shot releases the same amount of air no matter what barrel length is used or the velocity is set for. Thus, you can make quite a few alterations and see no change in air efficiency. -------------

Just so you know, it is considered rude to hijack other people's threads with your own questions. If you have a question, you should check out the various forums/stickies, then start your own thread if you can't find and answer. -------------

| I asked one question and it was a quick one y does everyone with more then 1000 posts think they can say what ever they want to people that don't have 1000 posts u act like we don't know how to use a forum altho i guess your going to yell at me for this to since it hast nothing to do with the svt and besides if u really didn't want me to ask they u shoulda gotten me banded. bunch of jack asses on this site thats it and nobody is open to anyone else's opinion everybody has to shoot the person down the second he says something. |

I think if you calm down, and read over the thread, you will realize that in both instances older members were trying to help and/or give you advice on how to conduct yourself on this forum. In neither circumstance were you getting attacked, regardless of post count. If you further check out a lot of the help threads, you will find that Mack is one of the most knowledgeable and helpful forumers on here. I used to try and help more, but it seems like every time I do some pissy noob gets his ego wounded and lashes out.
I do think it would be best, if we moved on and let this thread get back to what it is intended to be. Well done SeaBees, very nice marker.

just the fact that your name is XNUM1KILLAX made your intelligence level skyrocket. the only problem is you put the rocket upside down and was bound to fail. but aside from the constant bickering of fools (not that you are fools or anything of the sort...) The SVD mod you have there is very nicely done. I would have kept the wood, as wood always looks good.
