I'd say at least the same if not marginally better . wether that was down to weather conditions I don't know or not , but I shoot all my guns in the back garden (I have woodland behind me so no nosey neighbours to complain ) garden is 41mtrs long and there's a 7ft block wall at the end just about head Height there's a red house brick in it so perfect firing range ! first use 'quick fiddle ' with the hop and I was consistently hitting the brick round after round . So yup I'd say the range and accuracy was there !

NO ! I like being a member of an 'exclusive' club :-) I was in the same UKARA boat as well Rich , had to go through a hell of a palavour to get it , really a pain in the a**e the way some retailers won't sell unless your on the swindle list , I could have produced a list the length of my arm to cover my defence to buy ! But I digress as I said to 5 I really fee it's a step up from it's pre-seders (M4 based , I've never fired either the AK or G36's) and with the three I have now (the Scar for modern , Socom 'old school' M4 and my Sopmod as my CQB) until TM bring out new models , M14's or what

And all paid for with the sale of a couple of un-used AEG's ! was looking at my collection couple of wks ago and thought to my self "I'm not going to use most of these again" I just love my TM EBB's so much my other Gatt's just leave me feeling flat so arn't going to be used again so I sold some off ( no way I could have afforded it eny other way !) . Have to say as well mate I've only had it a few days now so only had a small play around with it , but if the TM EBB's are the next gen of airsoft guns then this is next gen 4.1 . To me it feels crisper and has more of a snap to it than my Socom

my new baby , running it on a 7.4v 2200 20C lipo , took a wee bit of mod"ing to the stock but fits realy well now .

i use one of the 7.4v 1900 20C"s from componant shop , fit realy well and work a treat in my socom . http://www.component-shop.co.uk/html/airsoft_li-po.html

Nope no real preference mate , I'm not looking to 'full on' up grade my guns , So I think the promy would be a bit of a waste to be honest , just looking for somthing a bit better than the stock ones . I'm really happy with the performance the guns came with so just looking to ' tweak ' them a bit . If ya know what I mean ! Cheers Rich your a good un .

Rich , will you be having any V3 spring guides back in stock any time soon ? I'd rather give my money to eagle6 than another shop (seeing as your the one who's pushed the boat so far along ! )

This is the one I used on both of mine , as you said it does need dremmeling but fits and works fine as long as you take your time 'fetteling' . http://www.airsoftpark.com/product_info.php?products_id=2469

Is good news if your stuck with one with crappy TM markings on it ! (I have one with and one with out colt markings)

Nice pic's atomic , I like pictures like that when your forming your own load out , so when 'Norris no it all' chirps up "oooohhh that's wrong , you don't want to do it like that , you want to do it like this ! " er no heres the reference picture ! no frills Nice and simple .

funilly enuf i have one on mine ,

Eny chance of a bit more detail please mate , had eny thing been done to the Socom prior to running it on Lipo ? reason I ask I've been running my Socom on a 7.4v 2200 lipo for about a year now with absolutely no effect on it .

I've used this site for foam , really good , you can get a quote on line with them as well . http://www.efoam.co.uk/indexm.html

Nice find Mr Pants , just ordered a P42 for £50somthing Cheers matey your a star !

True enuf but posted for were you could get a lipo that'll fit comfortably in ris units if wanted .

A team mate (Stewpidbear on here) has a TM sopmod Ris on his socom and he got a split 7.4v 1200 batt from vapextech that fits it nicely .

Echigoya have them , $29 each BUT it's another $21 P&P ! http://echigoya-guns.com/guns/index.php?route=product/product&path=58&product_id=312

I have both mate (sopmod&socom) the sopmod has all the bells and whistles on it ; PEQ , torch , AFG , reflex site and single sling point at the base of the stock . the socom is old school , no torch , laser or any bolt on's bar an Acog on the carrying handle and a bog standard two point sling on it .

need to check a bit more mate , we DO use gympy's on the ground in sections .

Corona and posting don't mix , had intended to say it protects the wires but some how I posted this gibberish sorry !

Cheers Ego , was hoping for a reply from some one with experience over time . Banshee , as oppressor said it's from under the buffer ring , stops the wires getting shredded when you un-screw the stock so better get it back in sharpish !

Right then chaps , acquired a stock sopmod second hand a couple of mths ago but due to having a crash on my motorbike a few days after getting it I've only fired it for the first time this wk (batteries were in the attic and gun down stairs , both legs FUBAR'ed so couldn't get UP the attic to get them ! ) any way there both up-graded 9.6v 1600 batt's and after charging them and sticking them in the gatt to test it , it's got a hell of a rate of fire on it compared to my socom witch has had some work done on it (the spring was changed so it's doing 315ish and I think the gearbox was re-shimmed

Big smiles all round ?

am liking the patterned and single colours together , think it looks better as it is rather than ALL the gun painted .

Thanks Rich , am dressing my Socom like a Canadian C8 so need OD furniture , rather not krylon the existing furniture like to get a new set in OD , so I still have the option of going back to black if I wan't .
