Description
S&T ASW338 Sniper Rifle (with Silencer – Spring Powered – Black)
The S&T ASW338 is a spring-powered, bolt-action sniper rifle in black, supplied with a silencer, as named. Styled on a modern long-range precision rifle, it has the purposeful look of a dedicated marksman’s rifle and, because it is spring powered, it works the same in any weather with no gas or battery to manage.
S&T is known for realistic replicas at approachable prices, and the ASW338 gives players a large, imposing sniper rifle without the cost of premium brands. The included silencer completes the look and helps keep the report of each shot down, so you are harder to locate. The black finish is a practical, classic choice; we also list the ASW338 in tan.
How a spring sniper rifle works
Working the bolt compresses the spring and chambers a BB; pulling the trigger releases the piston, driving a burst of air behind the BB. With no gas or motor, the shot is quiet and consistent, and cold mornings have no effect on performance.
Take time to set the hop-up with the BB weight you intend to use, and stick with that weight once the rifle is grouping well. Heavier BBs are usually preferred for sniping because they are less affected by wind.
Handling and setup
The ASW338 is a large rifle designed for deliberate, aimed shooting from a stable position. Mount a good scope on the top rail, support the front end on a bipod, bag or barricade, and take your time on each shot. Please see the product photos for the stock and rail arrangement on this version.
We list a 50-round metal spare magazine for the S&T ASW338, so you can load ahead and reload quickly during a game.

Compatibility
Use S&T ASW338 magazines; we list a 50-round metal spare magazine for this rifle. Magazines for other 338-style replicas may not fit, so check with us before buying.
The top rail takes standard scope mounts; an optic is not listed as included. Upgrade springs and internal parts are made for some 338-series rifles, but fit varies between brands, so check with us before buying upgrades. Use good-quality seamless BBs, and consider heavier weights once the hop-up is set.
Care and maintenance
Avoid dry-firing the rifle without BBs, as the piston then strikes the cylinder head without any resistance, which adds wear. Store it uncocked so the spring is not left compressed, and keep it in a padded bag or case so the barrel and any optic stay aligned.
Clean the inner barrel now and then with a rod and a lightly dampened patch, use high-quality seamless BBs, and keep the magazine and feed area free from grit. A sniper rifle rewards consistent ammunition, so once you have found a BB weight that suits your hop-up setting, stick with it.
Who is it for?
The S&T ASW338 is for players who want a large, imposing bolt-action sniper rifle with a silencer included, that works in any weather and gives a quiet, consistent shot.
Please note: A scope and BBs are not listed as included. Always wear suitable eye protection, and full-face protection where your site requires it, when using or testing any airsoft replica.
