Hi, I have read posts that talk about how to customize a Springfield 1903A4 (sniper version). I am interested in building a airsoft replica to play as a sniper.
I wonder what airsoft replica is better to use as a base, vsr10, bar 10?? ¿¿
My idea is to make a competent sniper replica and as real as possible.
thank's

the bar 10 is your best bet for base rifles

The Tokyo Marui VSR-10 or the BAR-10 are both good choices. The Tokyo Marui rifle is better made though. Don't use any cheap clones of the VSR-10 such as ones made by AGM, UTG, or TSD. The Echo 1 and Javelin M28 snipers would work too. As for parts yep eBay, Sarco, and Dupage trading co are all good places.

Hello, I have a question about the body wood 1903A3 springfield.
I have seen that there are two versions. A is equal to the older models while the other is more like hunting rifles today.
My question is, because there are two different models? were made before and the other one later? and if the reason is that were made later in that year would be correctly placed?
Thanks!

Hello, I've been looking at different posts there about how to make the 1903 springfield me a question arises.
I have seen it needs to cut the barrel of the original replica (Vsr-10, bar10,....) and add a cannon "new" smaller size so that it is the replica with a good impression.
My question is: The gun that is added to the original vibrations and deviations gives it the BB?
I want to use it as a sniper and would be interested to know if doing external changes is a problem with precision.

Many WW1 and between variant Springfields were utilized throughout the war but the sniper variant was the M1903A4 and it featured the "C" stock modern hunting rifle look. The primary stock shapes were the A1 which was a straight stock not unlike what you would see on a musket. There was also a scant stock which had a bump toward the butt stock that provided a somewhat more traditional rest for your shooting hand. The C stock was not utilized in WW1 but was introduced during WW2. It provides a near full upright grip for your shooting hand and is what you see on nearly all modern wood stock hunting rifles and shotguns.
In addition to the stock variations, in order to standardize the rifles rear sites the WW1 style ladder sites were often eliminated by retro fitting Springfields with a longer upper handguard and placing peep sites like the Garand and Carbine.
Having said that traditional M1903A1 straight stock, ladder sited, finger grooved Springfields could still be seen in the hands of typically rear escehlon troops throughout the war. My father was so armed during the Battle of the Bulge. A Garand was available to him but as a prewar National Guard soldier and not an Infantryman he had never fired one so stuck with what was familiar to him.
While the Springfield was available in large numbers the Garand and Carbine were far more commonplace.
