Description
AY SR-3M Vikhr AEG (Metal)
The AY SR-3M Vikhr is an electric airsoft replica (AEG) of the Russian SR-3M compact assault rifle, listed as a metal version. The SR-3 Vikhr is a compact Russian assault rifle derived from the AS Val and VSS family, designed for close protection and special units, and the SR-3M development added a folding front grip and the ability to take a suppressor. Its short, chunky profile and top-folding stock make it one of the most distinctive rifles in the Russian inventory, and a favourite with players building modern Russian loadouts.
AY is an Asian airsoft maker whose range includes some less common designs alongside more familiar platforms, giving players a chance to own a replica that stands out from the usual M4s and AKs. The SR-3M Vikhr is a good example: a rarely seen rifle that gives a Russian loadout an authentic centrepiece.
Compatibility
We also list an AY VSS/Vikhr 150-round magazine; please check with us that it suits this rifle before ordering. The battery space on compact rifles like this is limited, so confirm the size and connector before buying a battery.
Use good-quality seamless 6mm BBs; 0.20g or 0.25g is a sensible starting point while you set the hop-up.
Care and maintenance
Take the battery out after every game and store it separately at a sensible storage charge. Charge LiPo batteries with a proper balance charger in a LiPo-safe bag, and never leave them charging unattended.
Run a cleaning rod with a lightly dampened patch through the inner barrel now and then to keep the hop-up consistent, use clean seamless BBs only, and wipe the outside over after damp or muddy games. Leave gearbox work and spring changes to a competent technician.
Who is it for?
The AY SR-3M Vikhr suits players building modern Russian loadouts who want an unusual, compact rifle at a practical price, especially for CQB and close woodland.
