The Rifle That Took Me Years To Get Right! - Silverback TAC-41

[@JdrekAirsoft]

My TAC41A had a serious problem that nobody talked about: the barrel didn't sit still in the plastic stock. This resulted in the barrel moving sideways. To resolve this, I had to purchase a RIS handguard and print a 3D stabilizer for it to shoot accurately. I was disappointed as hell.

[@dsshap_codes]

Do a review ;) not enough content on the 41a replica

[@dsshap_codes]

@JdrekAirsoft - I just received my tac41a, I see what you mean about the sideways movement. I cranked down the screws in the mag well and that seemed to reduce the movement but not completely eliminated. Can you share the 3D stabilizer you used in conjunction with the RIS hand guard?

[@Uria-jz1gu]

its a free float barrel, thats literraly whole the point

[@jesperkuipers9432]

@@dsshap_codes I got the rail en cut out a little bit of foam from the box so it wasn't free floating anymore

@@Uria-jz1guwhy tho? What does it do

[@roelfo]

@13:36 YES! This was exactly how I played my first sniper game and loved it! HK416 on front, TAC41LS on back. Had a blast. Next time I'll grab the Ares Amoebe CCR (MP4K as I like to call it) with foldable stock and I'll reckon I'll be even more mobile. Can't wait for Silverback to release a folding stock for the LS

I had no end of issues with the AEG style hop unit. I went through about 3 iterations before finally listening to Steve at Hadron who suggested I move to the GBB hop unit. This (along with the supporting Flamingo 60 bucking and WASP) was by far the best thing I did to my Tac. It's like a different rifle now entirely. The key thing is the way that the hop chamber holds the barrel, it uses a horse-shoe style clip that sits in the barrel cut outs, removing the whole grub screw system. This way there's no way the barrel can twist. Worth considering at some point. :)

[@Jaeger-Precision]

I didnt go for the GBB hop chamber as I think it was Sniper Mechanic who told me to avoid it

[@Sneaky-sniper]

Nearly bought the 41p but cha he’s my mind and got the 41a from jason, oh my is it gorgeous, shoots like a dream with Edgi sap and bits done by jason too 😊

[@jesperkuipers9432]

I've set my tac41p up with STALKER parts from Skirmshop and omg what a difference. Can hit 3 out of the 5 shots on a body sized target (with nice weather) at 95 meters and so quiet aswell. Never going back to vsr-10 again.

[@Oraion22]

Same, same shop, full stalker kit and omg how it shoots, insane

[@DeltaLimaBR]

what barrel lenght and diameter do you use?

[@jesperkuipers9432]

@@DeltaLimaBR stalker Morpheus barrel 420mm, 420 is sweet spot imo. Longer will reduce sound a little bit but is not needed. Shorter is possible but will reduce accuracy by a little bit

[@Oraion22]

I’m always skeptical when I see the “although everyone is saying this one of the best out there, I had to upgrade it with this part from this supplier who is the best out there”. From what i see you had a lemon. Everyone i know who got one of these myself included have never had an issue out of the box.

[@Oliboy22]

I bought mine about October 2021. Only now in April 2023 am I now consistently seeing results from this rifle after having to do so much to get it going.

[@warcorer]

Guess I got lucky, bought mine from RedWolfAirosft and it's been great. The only thing I changed was just the hop up bucking and that was it, shoots great.

[@m60user]

Same path. Bought from RWA, changed to a 70 degree bucking, higher powered spring and FPS rings to get me to field limit. Shoots spectacularly.

[@scottaspden7235]

Also got mine from Redwolf, it was brilliant..all I changed was the spring...slung 0.48s with supreme accuracy no issues, no returns needed no fiddling required.

[@tannerg4511]

When I had a Tac 41, I also had machining issues with the hop unit ..twice...I ended up getting fed up and selling it Also the large mags wouldn't feed well...and would eject bbs if a strong wind blew

[@jaycross320]

Fortunately I've built several of these and had them shooting further and more accurately than any other now that's not to say they are perfect out the box just saying when worked on these are incredible

[@michaelgiddens3313]

Haw much difference did the wasp piston make did you get better range accuracy thinking about putting one in my srs just like to know if its worth the buy, also tempted to buy the tac 41 seems theirs been alot of bad feedback about them might just stick with my srs, cheers

[@tombeckman]

I see that ave sticker down there. Hell of a guy he is

[@herllraiser6662]

I made my hop unit work well by polishing the inner coating off it where the bucking touches this allow the bucking to be removed with out it tearing in at all. I then also got rid of the hop wheel and designed n 3d printed my own tdc which pushes down straight not a wheel with a angel on it. I machined a sear catch to fit a old wasp srs piston way before dan made any tac pistons for it as they are the same piston with only a different sear catch at the back then machined a few airbreaks, I swopped out the og hop unit for the sb gbb unit which is way better, then in the end i popped in a stalker gbb hop unit, mine is now running a mancraft kit hpa and hum personaly i wouldnt recommend doing it the stalker hop unit will not work with the mancraft only with the og sb n sb gbb unit does the mancraft work with.. i again had to machine a part that allowed me to use the stalker nozzle with the mancraft kit. All in all this pew is a mess it should of had the gbb hop unit from the start not as a after market buy, personaly my vsr spring build is better and my srs mancraft is also better. Im now retesting it again to see if i can get it better with the mancraft but if it dont play ball its going back as a springer again.

[@ruslanclark5272]

I serviced my tac41 the other day, stripped the barrel apart completely and cleaned/relubed with new o rings. I ran into a problem when installing the hop up unit onto the inner barrel, as I the teflon tape which I installed onto the rubber just bunched up every time I pushed the hop up on, which prevented me from being able to see the witness marks for lining up the retaining screws with the flat faces. After sacrificing not one but TWO rubbers and setting myself back £15 I ordered two more and this time I just tried to line up the orientation and pushed the hop up on till it no longer shifted, then I just installed the retaining screws without ever knowing whether I am lined up on the flat faces or not. I have shot it since and it just doesn't seem right, the bb veers off to the right and I don't think this is because of wind conditions as I tested it over 3 days. I have one more bucking left, should I just sacrifice the teflon mod so that I am able to correctly line up the barrel?

[@Jaeger-Precision]

The hop is such a tight fit you dont use teflon tape at all

[@Obsolete_E]

The stock is on that way so you can rest the flat side of the Rifle on your back and it's comfy

[@josephwatkins3469]

Fixture the other side is for left handed bolt conversion

[@aljoker7808]

I had the same with stey scout by modify asg, about 100fps difference bet min and max, sent it back next one had 3fps difference.

[@dsshap_codes]

Are your safety controls on the left and right side loose? On mine it’s not loose enough to switch modes without intent but it seems excessively loose to the touch.

[@mockingbird5832]

When i got my Tac41 a swapped to the SRS AEG 70° bucking and to the 90nm spring (m140) and the performance improvment were how to say it, not noticable to me. Couldn´t even overhop 0.45g, grouping at 50-60m was Body wide, my AK´s perform better. I went with the Kraken HU and the Stalker 70° bucking, Davinchi Akashi 70 6.03mm innerbarrel and the Scorpion Piston, now i´m testing different setups. Right now i´m running a m160, shortstroke piston and with the airbreak i get at 2,45j with 0.43g my field limit is 2.8j with playing weight. It performs well but it needs some further fine tunning. In the end, the GBB HU or the Kraken are a must go, as i destroyed two srs buckings and that is not accaptable.

Hey man, love the video. Currently as a lefty debating if I should get the Tac 41A (prefer the A, as I really love the look and the fact that it is foldable). OOTB performance isn't really something I can truely believe in airsoft, with some exceptions ofcourse (looking at you DE M90X series). With Brainexploder actually stating a good OOTB performance... it makes me curious! Currently looking at the Tac 41A, I have a Silverback MK23 suppressor laying around but haven't bought the rifle (yet). An question, did you need an adapter to fit it? The site states a M24x1 thread but the MK23 has 16mm CW thread right?

[@Jaeger-Precision]

I machined the suppressor and changed the thread to fit the rifle

[@mrbutters1975]

im not sure if you will see or respond but what Spring do you have in this? i am thinknig either M140 90N or a M150 95N spring i am unsure

[@Jaeger-Precision]

Ill be comepletely honest, I dont remember. I know it was the incorrect spring when I bought it and had to be trimmed

[@magnuskristensen7240]

Great vid, just wanted to ask how did you make the air seal good, i have the kraken hop up, and all the air is going out the hop op when shooting.

[@Jaeger-Precision]

The kraken hop ups are rubbish. Stick with the standard unit

[@R4G3xVIpeRz]

ive used stalker and the oem hop and whilst at uk limits cannot seem to get 70m in range any ideas? mine is a gen one with the new ramp.

[@kaiyincheung6227]

I would like to ask a question about TAC41P: Will the three screws that lock the barrel have the specified locking torque? If not, should it be locked tighter or not too tight? Thanks.

[@nicolastessier5585]

What did u do for the outer barrel ? Have the same here and it won't fit

[@Mothman45]

Had the same issue, the groove cut in the barrel to fit the lug wasn't big enough - took it back to the retailer and they swapped it for me for one that was cut correctly but they said it could be fixed by very carefully filing/sanding out the notch.

[@jesperkuipers9432]

@@Mothman45 had the same issue, just used a dremel to make it turn further. 2 minute job if you know what your doing

Ended up sending it back to fire support costing me £28 postage, they told me there wasn't any issues with my rifle but sent me out a replacement at another cost of £12 postage. Replacement shoots straight. I won't be using them again.

Yeah mine shoot right too :( can't fix it
