Replied to your PM sir...

eto na rin sya, quote ko na lang...

For starters, any STOCK TM AEG will push 260-280fps out of the box. The quoted 290fps is a bit higher due to the fact that the G3-SG-1 has an inherently longger barrel.

I can't attest to the condition of the said G3 being sold 2nd hand... however, I'll base my comments on a bnew G3 na lang...

For starters, the G3 is one of TM's older models. It comes with a plastic body that is not very solid. It's prone to flex and creak- specialy when it grows older. It also comes with a version-2 gearbox that is the "weakest" gearbox in the TM lineup. It's ironic that the most popular guns in the market(M4 and MP5) are saddled with this gearbox.

I'd be hesitant to use a spring higher than SP130 on a version 2 gearbox. However, a lot of other players have tried even M150s and M170s on a version 2 gearbox, sure- they'll work... but then the gearbox will fail sooner or later... most probably sooner...

If you are bent on a G3 platform para medyo mukhang PSG-1 ang unit mo.. better get the Classic Army CA33 instead. It has a sturdier body and the gearbox is the reinforced type. Sure, it's still a version-2 gearbox but... hey... no choice ka kung G3 talaga ang gusto mo.

IMHO- a better plaftorm for an AEG/SNiper would be a unit based on the Version-3 gearbox. The version3 gearbox is much much sturdier than any Ver2 gerbox... even the "reinforced" ones!

If you want a version3 AEG, your choices will be limited to G36 series, Steyr AUG, AK and Sig552!

My choice (as you probably know) is the steyr aug. Why? Becuase the bullpup design allows you to use a long barrel for lonnger range and accuracy but maintain a shorter overall lenght for assault. My TM AUG has a 650mm lenght barrel from a PSG-1+ but is only a few cm longger overall than my AK74 which only has a 450mm inner barrel!

If you prefer the AK plaftorm, then you can go for a DRAGUNOV style kit which can also use a 650mm inner barrel.. however, the price of the Dragunov KIT itself is easily more expensive than the AEG!

A relatively unknown, but good platform for a sniper rifle is the CA G36 series(yung full size). Two of my teamates have this AEG and it's very well built. It's also very inherently "silenced" due to it's glass fiber body. Adding a small suppressor makes it even more silent. Yes, it has a Ver.3 gbox, a 440round hicap magazine and a built in scope! It has a long barrel(490mm if I'm not mistaken) which gives it good range and accuracy. It also has a folding stock which will reduce it's size if you're in heavy brush or inside a building.

The sig550 and 551 are discontinued but you can still use a Sig552 and install a longger barrel and conceal this with a long suppressor. A friend of mine just recently bought a Sigg552 for this very purpose and it's a real scene stealer. Very finely made and the markings are all there(made in switzerlaned etc).

The choice is yours... happy airsofting.
