Initial Impressions of the TM SOPMOD M4 AEG
akiraspeedstar replied to Gunfighters808's topic in Rifles (AEG)
When I used to order from Redwolf years back they'd do the same thing upon request. With my experiences they came off clean without any issues. -
What I find funny is that 90% of the time you can find RS Magpul products for cheaper then PTS haha. Like the B.A.D. lever is about $20 for the RS and most sites have the PTS model for $50+.

I bought my gun from PowerEdge Hawaii, which is the retail store for PowerEdgeUSA. -

There's always a risk of customs seizing the gun should you not remove the trades. That's one reason I bought mine locally as I bought it for $500 with a free gun case and the trades intact. -

I bought my gun from PowerEdge, though I got it from the retail store in Hawaii. -

Sometimes I wish I bought a SOCOM instead, but I got a good deal on the CQB-R (also they had it in stock at a local store). -

Hmmm...I guess so, oh well both of our B.A.D. levers do what they're made to do haha -

Interesting, for my B.A.D. lever it would rarely work even after I bent it and I had to take a file to get it to operate correctly. This is after bending and filing and you can see how close it sits up against the body when a magazine goes dry. There's still a bit of space, but just the slightest touch and it's up against the lower. Also yeah, that line is also on my catch as well and it does look like a cast mark. -

Yeah pretty much like my BAD lever, I jus sprayed a light coat of satin black over it and it looks as good as new. -

Did you have to mod the BAD lever? I put a real steel version and had to bend it slightly, then file down a section so that it wouldn't touch the body. -

Hey could you guys post up your mods and FPS? I'm going to be placing an order soon for parts and kind of wanted to see what everyone else had. I was considering purchasing full Prometheus parts (piston, piston head, cylinder head, air nozzle, spring guide, gears, and 6.03mm barrel). Then either a m100 or m110 spring from eagle6 to finish it off. Hoping to keep my gun under 400fps, as that's the average limit for most places here (except for the occasional no limit games). -

Due to the battery and accessories options? Or performance? To my understanding all of the m4 ebbs are exactly the same internals wise, with the only exeption being 3.5" of inner barrel length (SOPMOD/SOCOM vs. CQB-R). -
I remember those, me and my friends were hanging out in the garage waiting for my other friend to come with te beer, we turned off the lights and tried to walk around in the dark. Needless to say we were ramming into everything and tripping over every little object haha.

I originally purchased a complete ACU loadout and before I even used it once (other then to take a picture), I sold it. Really wish I had listend to my friend, he was trying to talk me out of the ACUs. Anyways finally got a full Multicam setup instead, excuse the bad picture quality (old cell phone), and the half *albatross* gimp photo modifications.

Anyone else use a Madbull Gemtech "HALO" Supressor? Didn't seem to work at all with my flash hider, so I had to take a file to it and notch thr left side so that the flash hider would be centered and the Supressor would install. -

Yeah, I used two crescent wrenches and a towel (to prevent scratches) haha. -

I've owed my CQB-R for roughly 2 months and FINALLY fired it for the first time today haha. I don't think I'll be able to go back to a standard AEG ever again, I can't wait to actually get some game time with it. Oh also I'm guessing everyone else already knows this, but if you want to use a real steel B.A.D. lever, you need to bend it a bit so it doesn't come into contact with the lower and disable the bolt stop function. Here's a pic of how much I had to bend it so that it would still be as flush as possible, but operate correctly. -

The bolt stop is a very simple setup, so if it's not functioning it shouldn't be too hard to diagnose the issue. -

Richard is with Eagle6 right? Unsure if it was he who responded to my email, but they told me they'd ship out of the UK (I'm in Hawaii and they said they would). -

I emailed them in regards to this, they're aiming for a 2011 release! Sweet! -

Thanks Richard Y, I was wondering why the opening was there but all I coudl see was the inner barrel. Part of me thought I just had to tap it with a rubber mallet, good thing I decided to wait for a response first haha. -

Anyone here ever get the front sight off of their SOPMOD? I've seen a few with flip up sights and have attempted to contact them with no response yet. I removed the two bottom pins and the pin for the gas tube but it still won't budge at all. My previous M4 (CA) had a screw at the bottom of the sight but it seems this one doesn't.
