Silverback Airsoft that the DesertTech SRS Sniper Model 2018 will be released next month... "Hi All! The current version of the SRS is discontinued, a new version, Model 2018, will hit the market mid-October. The Pull bolt system has prevailed, the Push bolt system SRS is discontinued (conversion kit will still be produced).

What’s new:

That didn't last long. The 130 metre shot made by Simon the airsoft sniper from Taiwan that we posted early this week gets outranged by Bowy Swast of Switzerland. He made the long range shot using also a customised Silverback Airsoft DesertTech SRS-A1 Bolt Action Sniper Rifle, reaching 145 metres or 475 feet.We just wish that more cameras should have been used for this shot.

It's a sniper rifle this time for the Gun Gamers to give their thoughts on. In this episode, Kyle covers a much well-received airsoft sniper rifle, the Silverback fully licensed DesertTech SRS Sniper Rifle... "Today on Gun Gamers, Kyle gives his thoughts on the Silverback SRS airsoft sniper rifle. Enjoy!"

Alexander tells how they tuned the Silverback Airsoft SRS-A1 to 170m/s in this Red Army Airsoft video... "In this issue, we will be tuning the SRS-A1 spring sniper rifle from Siverback Airsoft. We test two 13mm VSR springs of the M160 and M170 type. We test the steel guide with Teflon tube and bearing for a better setup. We'll put a new rotary hop-up with a quick adjustment. We'll install a new trigger with adjustments to the landing height and a finer adjustment of the free wheel."

Silverback Airsoft announce that they have released their G-Spec Barrek Kit for their SRS Rifle allowing you convert the SRS into a more compact gun... "Do you remember the very short custom we've shown at the IWA 2017 ? It's now available in our catalog . It can accommodate a 309mm inner barrel, or more if you extend it into the silencer.

For Silverback Airsoft SRS users, they will need to read this safety warning that the company issued... "Unlike traditional spring bolt action airsoft guns using the 90° sear system from Maruzen or the 45° sear system from Marui, the SRS is using a 'circular sear' system due to 'bullpup reasons' (and lack of space). The interface between the piston sear and the piston end is a circular surface.

A video from Silverback Airsoft on the DTSS muzzle break timing. The DTSS muzzle break is a licensed replica from Desert Tech... "This video shows you the process of timing your muzzle brake to ensure a perfect alignement between the barrel assembly, muzzle brake and dummy sound suppressor."

"Two new aluminum outer barrel are now available, 18 inches tapered (Hong Kong MSRP 73 USD) and 22 inches bull (Hong Kong MSRP 71 USD).

Now, they are showing protoype which shows a tool less adjustment with the dial design and have a "return to zero" feature in case of the need to swap inner barrels and is made of the CNC'd Aluminium 6061.

Silverback Airsoft reveal their upcoming product for the Silverback SRS Sniper Rifle, the SRS F.A.S.T. Hop-Up Unit... "As many SRS users are looking for a tool-less adjustment Hop Up unit, we have developed a new optional Hop-up unit, in technical cooperation with the Faceless Sniper.
