Action Army T11 Airsoft Bolt Action Sniper Rifle (Model: Pistol Length)

"I own 6 Airsoft snipers:
ASG T-11
Silverback TAC-41
Novritch SSG A3
EMG Barrett Fieldcraft
Striker Amoeba
TM VSR One

This review is based on non-field use - My use is primarily backyard plinking and pest control. Straight out of the box with no scope the T11 first shot took out a backyard pest at close range (10m). It has been my go-to rifle of choice when competing with my shooting buddies and has never failed me. Like all rifles after a few 1000 shots it will need maintenance but I have nothing bad to say about the construction of the internals. It has always impressed with its performance and although I dont shoot in an airsoft field I will say this is one of the most accurate airsoft snipers I own. I can hit a dime at 18m easily.
I have since added a Hen Li Hai trigger, Maple Leaf Tactical Chassis w/Folding Stock and a Action Army hopup chamber with RAPAX 2.8 spring, which greatly increased the FPS to 450 with .36 BBs - FAR above the range for field use but like I said we plink and use it for pest control. Yeah, it looks like a completely different rifle after changing the stock but keep in mind my review is based on the rifle in its stock form - Although I put some money into this rife, I highly recommend this one for beginners. It performs well out of the box and allows for future upgrades. This was my 2nd rifle purchase and if you take a look at my list of rifles above, that is the order of favorite to least favorite. I favor this over the TAC-41 only because of the weight difference. After tuning all my rifles its still consistently more accurate than my Novritsch, Fieldcraft, and Striker. My VSR-One shouldn't even be on this list lol. As you can read from this review, there a lots of aftermarket parts that add longevity and customization. A+, Action Army!

"I wrote a review back in March prior to upgrades. The only upgrades I did was the barrel (upgraded to Action Army 6.01) and spring (upgraded to Action Army M150, could have chosen a M170, but wasn’t necessary since I’m mostly involved in mid-range shoot outs in thicker woods.)
My first post I made mention of having problems with the bolt; this was solved when I took the gun apart, I found that tiny shavings were inside the cylinder and causing the release/lock to be affected. No problems after cleaning it up!
-All internals were metal! Including the spring guide and piston (metal piston but not the after market Action Army piston, but still good).
-Stock spring is probably M130.
After upgrades listed prior, and using .40 G&G BBs, I have it set up where I am hitting a milk jug at 60 yards, and a Target at 70yards. It can shoot farther, but the terrain I play on, the engagements don’t really happen past that. It is very consistent, and hold its air seal well.
I highly recommend this product.
It shoots currently at 392FPSw/.40gram BBs.

"I am brand new to airsoft. I played a lot of woods-ball paintball back in the day, and wanted to get into airsoft, so I bought the T11 long version because it was affordable and heard it did NOT need upgrades out of the box. I played 1 larger wooded terrain event and 1 smaller wooded-almost CQB style field, so my analysis is going to be limited:
I love the look and feel of the gun. I sighted it in with .28G&G and consistently hitting a milk jug at 150ft, BUT much further and my BBs were dropping, and adding more hop-up made them very inaccurate….so with that said, maybe heavier BBs may be the solution?? I did purchase upgrades so I won’t be able to further review the gun in stock form after this. The bolt after a while would not always catch and BBs would roll out (this may be user error though being that it’s possible I was pulling the bolt back at too much of an angle to the left…I found that if I just barely clear the safety switch while cocking back and forth I don’t have the issue anymore…so again it could be user error, or I just happen to crank it too hard at an angle one time and messed something up…who knows, and if any knows how to fix the problem I created, helpful tips would be nice.)
Overall I really like the gun, and have really enjoyed airsoft so far. I would still enjoy the gun in stock form, but I had the opportunity to purchase some upgrades, so I did, but yes it is good out the box.
