I bought one of these units after seeing this review. I would highly recommend the SCW trigger and piston, it is a beautiful and durable set. You have to see it in person to appreciate how well made it is.
Thanks buddy, if I remember correctly it can be used, also can't remember if the rear of the plastic trigger guard needs to be trimmed but if it does its an even job 🙂
Hi there mate. I'm trying to copy your vsr build. I'm very new to this so please forgive me. I dont no what piston stem to get? 7mm or 9mm diameter? witch one did you use? Thank you mate.
@@AirsoftAfterHours Awesome! Thank you for the quick reply! EDIT: Follow up question, did you ever experiment with the air brake and how bad it dropped your fps?
@@airsoftjam94 I didn’t personally but some fellas I chat to told me that it dropped their FPS a little, it might depend on the setup to determine how much of a drop there would be. I opted for silence and I don’t game so mine is fully inserted. ^^
Hi there, so just about to purchase one of the pistons but the come in two flavours 7mm and 9mm. Any idea what (apart from the size) the difference is in the two in terms of operations? Cheers bud 👍🏻
Hi mate, the diameter is for the spring guide, the larger diameter one is for the larger springs (springs such as the big Pdi ones, iirc 13mm). Most springs on the market are the smaller size ones but the pdi “fat” springs are very highly regarded. Good luck with the build mate! ^^
Yes after a bit of head scratching I did work it out for myself. Initially I thought it was something to do with the piston itself but then realised why they were the sizes they were. Thanks for the reply and if I can find your socials ill throw a pic your way 😎👌
Springer Custom Works parts are very high quality. Imagine you're a kid and you get your hands on Hustler magazine. It's airsoft porn when you open the box to look at the parts. I have an M24 trigger and on another rifle the piston and the spring guide. Absolutely flawless the way they perform so far.
@@MrSmartstots I'd assume they are because JG Bar is just a clone of the VSR with lower quality parts but if you're going 90 degree you better get a 90 degree piston and spring guide and perhaps even a new receiver and cylinder.
My VSR 10 build it feels like the cylinder needs a tiny push to engage with the hop up unit when I'm cocking the gun, is this normal? AA teflon cylinder and AA hop up unit.
The two plastic nubs on the the hop unit (either see through or black) need adjusting, the two screws on the hop unit can be adjusted so the nozzle inserts and engages smoother. If the two BB stoppers protrude too much they will block nozzle entry and sustain damage.
@@Greendore It's possible that the front of the cylinder head is sharp or has a micro lip, one thing I do with all my cylinder heads is sand with 3000 grit (and above) sand paper to make them buttery smooth. Inspect the BB stoppers for damage, do they look like they have rat bites on them or micro dents? this is an indicator of how the nozzle of the cylinder head interacts with them. Another couplet of nozzle catching on the BB stopper is play, if the cylinder has excess play in the rings, they will sometimes impact the BB stoppers at an awkward angle.
@@Greendore If you have to push the nozzle just a tiny bit harder to engage the BB stoppers, this is normal. If you have to really fight to engage, there is a problem. a little bit more effort to engage is completely normal. ^^
Please help! I just got this exact setup before watching this, and ordered it with the pdi spring, I don’t want to buy another spring so is there any way to make it work with the pdi spring? Thanks
Jmert 005 This is just a guess and its absolutely not tried or tested, but cutting down the spring a little “MAY” make it work. Of course if it doesn’t work the spring will be ruined as the FPS will be reduced. Your best bet is to return the spring for a refund if that is possible. Sorry for the bad news my friend.
AirsoftAfterHours I sent a message to the owner of SCW and he said that it may be because the spring guide is too thin and it moves around so I would have to put some kind of a metal tube or something over the spring guide. Does this sound accurate to you?
@@jmert0057 It's possible. Our spring did seem to "snake" left and right as it compressed in our setup which may benefit from a wider spring guide. If that is the problem then its a very simple fix! Only one way to find out ^^
AirsoftAfterHours I have decided that I am going to 3D print a sleeve for the spring guide so that it is the perfect size for the spring so that will work
Really depends on the spring, I would heavily suggest upgrading the cylinder and cylinder head to maximise the benefits of this awesome upgrade, have a good day my friend! ^^
Hello, can you please tell me if the springer trigger is wider than the action army one. I tried to install the airsoftpro v4.1 in an aac t10 and it didn"t fit because it is fatter and it doesn"t have enough room in the stock. Thank"s
Hello my friend! The Springer Custom Works trigger is the same width as the Action Army trigger, but there are differences in shape. Main differences include: 1) Front section of the trigger housing is much lower on S.C.W unit. 2) The body of the S.C.W. trigger is lower around the trigger area. Despite these differences, the width is the same on both units. Have a great day! ^^
Great video mate! Would you say it is significantly quieter over an AA piston? My vsr is upgraded with all AA parts including the trigger&piston kit you mentioned. It shoots great but boy is it loud! I am toying with the idea of buying this vsr piston and s.guide but never had an airbrake before so dont know just how much noise reduction they offer?
Good question! To our ears, here's the conclusion on two of my setups: Setup A: Action Army Piston with Action Army Trigger, Action Army Teflon Coated Cylinder, Action Army M130 Spring, Action Army Spring Guide. Setup A is quite loud with each shot sounding like a metallic "CLACK". The sound is quite intrusive the the ears. Setup B: Springer Custom Works Piston with airbrake installed, Springer Custom Works Trigger, Action Army Twisted Cylinder, A ring of silicone bathroom sealant on cylinder head (to act as cushion), Action Army M150 Spring

I was toying between sorbo padding my AA piston or buying the vsr twisted piston because of the airbrake and o-ring on the piston head.

creamy_ sense Not very well, I’ve tried a 45 degree piston on a 90 degree piston (the opposite to what you are asking) and it worked but it’s not ideal, it catches and fires but it might be quite dangerous as it’s putting huge strain on the parts due to incorrect engagement angle.
Not too sure, as we haven't experimented with a JG BAR-10, only way to be sure is for someone to try it and report back, it will be an expensive trial though ^^

Lasse Holm Lots of variables in those two setups but my first guess would be an air sealing issue, did you try a compression test on both setups? My second guess would be the hop up setting may have played a part in the inconsistency but not to that degree of variance.

@@AirsoftAfterHours I actually fixed it. The piston was screwed in too tightly(it was restraining the sear form moving) so I took it out and screwed it back in. Then removed the safety mechanism as it was blocking the trigger. I have a v2 so mabye that's why I had this issue.
Thank you for very nice review !
