the real sniper version only costs about $400. I'd rather get a Tokarev SVT-40

You could do a great conversion that's shoots better for less than half of that...

Not currently provided and certainly not able to do it for 450.00 but a customer is provideing me a scope and mount for me to attempt to attach to the reciever. If it is easy then it will not be that big fo a jump in price. I will of course update everyone with pictures of that assuming good old Jack doesn't beat me to it.

Likewise all I've heard from first hand owners has been pretty dissapointing. Performance wise. Visually they look very good.

I am guessing that K.T.W. is a Japanese company, and that would explain to low FPS. Or do they only know how to make an outside of an airsoft gun...

I believe the low fps is due to the new low fps rule in Japan and the UK. The guns do look beautiful, but even with minor use they start to fall apart and get damaged...something very dissapointing with a gun that costs over 1k. My friend got it for about $1150 shipped and then sold it about two weeks later for around $800. The only thing that pleased him with it was that he could get it off his hands.

If someone is going to send a 1k or more on a gun it better last and hold up on the battlefield as well for a very, very long time...very. Sounds like though if anyone whats to be a Russian sniper, stay away from this and K.T.W. products all together.

yeah, it definitely ain't the best option. Right now the best avalable option are the conversions done by charleynovember or doing it by yourself.
