Lobaev Sniper's into Airsoft

Lobaev Sniper's into Airsoft

Lobaev Arms is a russian gun manufacturer, providing rifle to civilians, military, and LE.

Also known for being used in the ongoing Ukr-Ru Conflict

One of the most known platforms from them, is the DVL-10 Saboteur, mainly due to his presence in  Escape for Tarkov.

They updated all of their models in 2025, to modernize and standardize all the platforms they were previously providing.

Lobaev products range :

- SKL ZOV
Brand New Semi auto AR10 platform, we will talk about it later.


Also known as POF Revolution DI in the USA, wich make me think that lobaev is entering the civilian american market via POF USA.

Designing

In January 2025, I started with the TSVL M3 and M4 designs.

The goal is to make a TAC41 mecanic, drop-in, inside the chassis, without modifications, or proprietary parts (as much as possible).

Fully printed, it's looking like this :


After the TSVL, i did the DXL-3 Longstrike.

When i discovered that they had updated their models.

I redesigned the SVL-2 Antimatter and Berzerk.

And of course, also the SVL-3 Retribution :

All the previous chassis i showed here, are using the silverback mags, and magwell/feeding ramp (STK-032)...
Time to change that :

The SVL-4 Sevastopol in .375/.408 Cheytac is placed in the middle of the large caliber platforms, between the SVL-3 in Magnum Calibers and the SVL-5 in .50BMG :


(We can see that the handguards are now ARCA specs for the SVL-3 and SVL-4)

Custom mags are indeed required, since TAC41 mags are "338 specs".

It's fairly easy to design it, while keeping the receiver of the TAC41, like i did for all the previous one (Lobaev's, MRAD, Surgeon, Alpine, Steyr, etc...)

And after some hours in CAD, it's one more design that can be added in the collection for me :
-Accurate mags, with all the markings
-ARCA handguard (wich was not available on the first version of the SVL-4)
-New Stock since it as longer LOP than the SVL-3
-New lobaev AR spec grip (compatible with all milspec ar grip)
All the features to transform a TAC41 into this beauty...

The SVL-4 and SVL-5 share the same stock ;

I can keep the stock i already did for the SVL-4 and focus on the whole receiver.
But i will come back to the SVL-5 later.


At the same time, i'm finishing the SVL-1, wich is based of VSR10 this time.

This build is based of a Well MB03 VSR-10.

First thing i do is replicate the Action Receiver of the MB03, the goal is to match the exact same spec, and barrel thread.


And then some CAD times to make the whole bodykit :

SVL-1 Wolfhound (short barrel) / SVL-1 Urbana (long barrel)

and SVL-1 Saboteur


There is also a PRS version that is used for competition in russia


Featuring a fixed stock, and an ARCA interface front end, with Mlok for weight and bag ability.

 

Some more closes-ups.


The real mag :

And my printed iteration : 30rds mid cap AICS mag (no lips)

Very nice once printed.

Adding the receiver markings :

SABOTEUR

And WOLFHOUND

first mockup without internals :

 




Thoses "wired" renders are specially made so you can see the complex geometry, and hope it will help you understand the amount of work needed for such accurate chassis/works...

And of course since it's made for 3Dprinting, it's optimized for this usage, but can also be made in CNC, for a bigger cost.

And for those who thinks they have the right to criticize something they are completely uncapable of doing, i am still waiting for you to do such things in the same timeframe as i do them ;)
