INSIDE AIRSOFT A irsoft Sniper Parts is little known at present. It only recently appeared on the airsoft scene – within the last three months – but already the response has been great. So who are we and why now? We are a family-run distributer of sniper rifle upgrade and replacement parts. Currently we are focusing on spring-based rifles such as the TM VSR and Maruzen L96, and their clones such as JG Bar10, ASG Covert Ops and the common Well/Warrior Type 96. We enjoy sniping, and it’s the primary role we’ll take up at a skirmish. But you will probably be aware of the poor-quality internals some rifles offer, making it either unreliable or simply unusable. In the past some leading brands provided upgrade parts, but recently these have become rare or are no longer manufactured at all. When we have been lucky enough to find any of these parts they are usually very expensive and often not sold by the same retailer, forcing us to buy from different suppliers with different warranty terms. We saw a gap in the market which really needed to be addressed. The role of sniping isn’t as popular as toting an AEG commandostyle but still should not be neglected. Here at ASPUK we have teamed up with a supplier who has access to CNC machinery and reasonable lead times, which helped us become the UK’s distributer.
