WE-Tech SVD Steel Receiver Airsoft Gas Blowback Sniper Rifle w/ Imitation Wood Stock and Handguards

"I am an AK guy and the SVD is my favorite gun, since this is my favorite gun I am a little biased. The WE SVD looks amazing and feels amazing, it is heavy and what you’d expect from a SVD. The receiver is steel obviously but everything else is aluminum which isn’t a bad thing, you can change it out for steel. The one thing that doesn’t feel right is the stock and handguards, I really wish there was a real wood option from WE.

The disassembly is pretty easy but do take note that there is a break in period that will make it slightly harder to disassemble. Main examples are the safety and dust cover switch being very stiff, and the buffer is hard to take out if not oiled.

For the people in the US the orange tip is pinned and glued meaning you cannot just unscrew it but if you’re able to get it off the adapter in the barrel is 14mm Positive. The adapter is also pinned and glued so you’ll need to get crafty if you’re gonna take it out. If you do manage to take it out the barrel is threaded 14mm Negative / 14mm CCW. If you’re gonna get the WE SVD muzzle brake for this you’ll need to take both out.

Mags are somewhat hard to find but you can find them. Internal parts are widely available and affordable right now so don’t worry about internals breaking and never being able to get more. If you choose to upgrade internals there are a few Heavy Recoil places online where you can find help with either repairs or upgrades.

If you have experience in general or with AK’s you’ll figure it out, it’s an eastern block type gun get ready for an eastern block experience. Overall I love it. Aesthetics are great, upgrade potential is ok. Best part is it’s not another AR.
