Javelin m24 build questions.

[PerfectlyGothic]

Ok.. So here I go.

Second sniper build and I've decided to come to the experts for guidance.....

I've purchased a used javelin m24, it is by far one of the most sturdy feeling snipers I've used and I feel it deserves to be gutted and rebuilt to a modest fps, pushing a bb through a tightbore.

My questions extend to this. After doing much internet searching I've found the power end is L96/Aps2, but I can't find any solid place to get decient barrel, hopup, and trigger information.

Is there a retailer or gunsmith that does flat hop/tightbore combos?
Is the trigger a aps2, vsr, or l96?

Thanks guys

Trigger is aps2. It's not bad for a stock trigger. Will hold 550fps. Pdi makes parts that are direct fit for the javelin m24/snow wolf m24.

Sweet, new question.
Is the hop up chamber type 96 too?
Best barrel? Mad bull? Prometheus? This angel fire?

Hop chamber kinda like l96. I got a jj airsoft l96 (pdi clone for like $25) chamber I am going to fit into my m24 javelin. I don't suspect it will be a drop in fit, but the price was right.

For barrel, hard to go wrong with a prommy eg...

I've been hunting down a 486mm inner
And been eyeballing trigger airsoft.com Type 96 hop up chamber.

Thanks for the help mate.

I'm gonna run a barrel that's 400 I think. I have a (probably fake) prommy eg 455mm I'm gonna chop down. I made a thread adapter that extends down the outer barrel by ~8" or so. The tip is threaded on the outer barrel. It's 18mm ccw if I remember right...?

Considering flat hop? Any view on flat hopped barrels in snipers?

Careful, as there is 2 versions of the Javelin M24.

One is 100% APS2 compatible.
Other is a mix of APS2, VSR-10 and proprietary (I got this one).

You can spot the version by the mag, one has feeding lips, the other has a retainer like AEG mags/VSR-10 mags.

APS2 has the feed lips.

Hmm. Thanks for posting that tidbit. I knew there was 2 versions of the snow wolf one, not the javelin one though.

Intresting!
I wish I had pics handy ... I'm not sure what you mean by feed lips

Perfect.... Mine is the first one.... Mag release latch is on the mag itself.

Mag release is on mag in all cases.
Also Echo1 M28 mags look identical to the hard to find M14 mags.
But they don't fit or feed.
