1) I know
2) :smack:
3) I did, I do, I always will... Did I suggest to buy it from those folks? No, Just want to see what people think, since most of other airsoft SVDs are hmm.. a bit expensive...
Thanks for input though :cheers:

PTE. Pyle April 17th, 2006 22:22

ok fair enough i took it that you were saying you wanted to buy it from them and were looking for input. i stay by my statement that i wouldent waste my money on that. if you buy somthing that is cheap then you can expect what you payfor

my appologies

^Hyperion^ April 17th, 2006 23:08

awesome , cheap and reliable SVD for once , looks fa bit plastic though

DonP April 18th, 2006 01:20

Could be good for a project gun, if nothing else.

Greylocks April 18th, 2006 06:32

I wonder what it is about "too good to be true" and "you get what you pay for" is unclear these days.
Go ahead, buy one. But dont come here asking about upgrades or whining you have a crappy gun that just looks cool.

[Lithium] April 18th, 2006 06:37

So true greylocks. That, and you can tell just by the picture that its cheap.. in price and most likely quality.

Ace of Spades© April 18th, 2006 06:47

SVD's dont have bipods... :mad:

Droc April 18th, 2006 08:29

be worth it just to have a spare metal reciever to mess around with.

Dozer_01 April 18th, 2006 08:33

Very true Droc...Mod that shit with a Ver.3 box if possible..that would be mint.

Droc April 18th, 2006 09:25

that guy on arnies cheaply modified his UTG MP5 to TM quality in no time. Even if the internals are not as good as other guns, thats an easy fix.
Id get one, toss in a V3, add some wood furniture, and you got a decent SVD

[Avtomat] April 18th, 2006 16:08

well they also fuked the scope up too.

FieroGT April 18th, 2006 19:31

Are there any Canadian retailers that currently stock UTG stuff? Or is it too craptastic for anyone to care about and am I gunna have to preorder an SVD? If for nothing else but to hang on a wall.

^Hyperion^ April 18th, 2006 20:35

try to contact Canadian Airsoft for special orders. There's also BC airsoft supply that stocks UTG stuff ocassionally .

These are the only 2 retailers that can help you

Droc April 18th, 2006 21:12

well, if you ask, most can get their hands on something. Try pete kang from Extreme percision. he has never had a problem finding me guns.

i agree, i think it looks fairly plasticy to. im curious to see some reviews of it...

Gish April 19th, 2006 15:05

Well from the specs that have been posted it appears to be ok. Yes UTG does make a lower quality gun, however this being a spring powered SVD that may be just ok. Replace some of there lower end stuff with high end and you may just end up with a decent performing and cheaper SVD. I highly doubt that you'll be able to put a mechbox in this as the SVD reciever is very different then an AK reciever. Of course with enough modding anything is possible.

We'll have to see what the quality will be like on this one but UTG has been improving with each release.

woo-hoo!

^Hyperion^ April 19th, 2006 16:12

OH GOD IT MAKES SOME NOISE !!! MAN FORGET AIRSOFT

Ace of Spades© April 19th, 2006 16:29

The new SVD with composite stock and for grip have the groove for bipods, but the older versions, i.e. wood furniture, do no, since the gun already has a incredible stability because of the stock/grip.

Nitz_Walsh April 20th, 2006 09:34

Personally I think from that particular photo provided the gun looks like it would come out of a "Cracker Jack" box, but that's just my opinion. Althought the idea of having an SVD for a reasonable price, that gun looks like it came from Toys'R'Us. Cool idea though.
