bandog 52 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Remember the bolts holding the smk together are monky metal like cheese there that soft but u can get new stainless steel strong bolt kits for the 79/78 If u get a 79 and then buy hpa gurilla air thank 13 ce one it has a reg fitted to the buddy bottle that only allows 850 psi in to the smk any more and I think it will blow up in your face but people have done it to 1000 psi but is not recommend So all u do is buy the smk 79 change ever single screw and bold to some propa metal ones change the bottle and u have a pcp I work with high pressure at work I pressure test pipe work and believe me if a bolt flew out of that smk at 850 psi and hit you you would know about it I have had 4 smk's and there's blokes out there that can turn them from a pile of shit to somthing very good but I got sick of stripping and polishing parts and vavles poping on me I even paid good money for a work of art but at the end of the day it's still a f***ing pile of shit and it takes a lot of time to keep them performing like a good rifle I got that pissed off when my last smk vavle blew I brought a BSA super 10 and never looked at another smk again Jmo mate they can be good to shoot and good for hunting but if u want a rifle to go out with every day and it to work get a better one dude Quote Link to post
tinson1 16 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Have a look on the ukchineseaiegunforum, lots of smk users on there and they do all sorts of stuff! Longer tubes, converters so you can fill your xs78 up by using a c02 fire extinguisher! Have a look on there Quote Link to post
