The Crunchy Bunny Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Yeah I took out the grub screw. I couldn't find my moms hair dryer so I put my muzzle in very hot water for a few minutes, and tried to get it to turn and it still wouldn't. I ended up marring up the castle nut. what do you guys use to get the castle nut off? I tried channel lock pliers and all that did is mar up the nut and surrounding flashider material.

davedawg123 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) I usually heat with boiling water and use pliers. To prevent marring, I use electrical tape or any rag I have laying around. Edited May 9, 2008 by davedawg123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cam Keo SOC16 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Here's mine: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris North Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 CYMA SOC16, with a KA bi-pod of some sort, and standard Marui mags. Pretty standard right now, and this exact same rifle has been seen in in this thread in a very similar configuration. I still want to get a scope mount, and a better battery, and possibly give it a CoD4-style digital camo paint job (just cause I think it looks cool). I'm also thinking I might want to try to find and fit a standard M14 heat shield and get rid of that rail. This gun's provided me with a bunch of little surprises. Didn't expect the rail to be too far ahead to be able to mount a scope, and I didn't expect that I'd have to mod the Marui mag to get iot to work (As the mag catch is too long. I could've modded the catch, but I wasn't sure how it would turn out.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 thanks for that pic soc16... got one with slightly better lighting? sorry to be picky its great though! north: you can remove that mount by removing those hex screws, but note, the point of that rail IS to be far foward, for quick aquisition optics, like reflex sights -Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Delta.One.Three Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I would like an update on the G&G flashider question, were you able to get it off eventually? I have the same one... is it the socom version? I wanted to take it off to attach a silencer on mine, but wasn't sure. As for the rest of you, what kind of vests do you use to carry your m14 mags? I was looking at getting an HSGI Weesatch, but wasn't sure... I need something somewhat light, (in weight and color) I use multicam, and really like the open-topped mag pouches so I figured the Weesatch would be good, any other suggestions? and can I get some pics of the gun+gear?? BTW... God DAMN!! I <3 the M14!! SOOO sehksay! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Well, i didn't try again, I haven't had time. But, I plan on trying again later today, so I'll update then. As far as mag carriage, a Weestatch should work. My Guarder Weestatch holds M14 mags fine, one per pouch. I'm sure the HSGI would be the same way. Here's pic, It's kinda old though, but the only thing that's changed is I got a Condor utility for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cam Keo SOC16 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Sorry mate, that's the best picture I currently have, as my SOC16 is at a squad mates house for Upgrades. HSGI holds 7.62 mags just fine. My only recommendation is to get magpuls or such because they can be a pain to pull out otherwise, as they slide down sometimes.

Delta.One.Three Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Thanks for the quick replies, much appreciated! I will order my weesatch as soon as I get my next paycheck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Potter Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Lets keep this alive. Any new M14 items you bought?? I am getting a silencer on the 24th :-D! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PianoBlack Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I bought another Blue Force M14 sling for my Socom 16 and it's really nice. Also, how many people here use the ring front sight? I see a lot of standard front sights, but not a lot of hooded ones except for maybe mine. -Vic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

reaper16 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I have a question that has been bugging me for some time Are the EBR's issued with the silver "bodies"? and if so why? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reaper16 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) Double post. might as well use it Anyone have an experience with the echo 1 soc 16's? Edited May 19, 2008 by reaper16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BP-anon Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 The old ones are AGM (if i remember correctly), and the newest version is a Cyma. Just get the Cyma for a heckuvalot less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ezek_GrayFox Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Silver bodied EBR's are issued to Navy and PJ's, black bodied are issued to Army Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cassius6303 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Double post. might as well use it Anyone have an experience with the echo 1 soc 16's? Okay, I'm a noob here (and to airsoft in general) but I've been doing a lot of research in that time. I picked up the echo 1 soc 16 last month and I gave it a pretty good working the first time out. What did you want to know? What I do know: - It chrono'd way over forum limits. Actually, we chrono'd it against an upgraded TM M14 (which also was above forum limits) and the soc 16 ran about 20fps higher. - It's pretty darn accurate. - And it's REALLY quiet in semi mode. Took out a team of five without giving away my position. The only real problem I noted was it would occassionally jam in semi. However, that may have been my fault by not fully pulling the trigger every time. (Help here would be appreciated....) I'll have a chance next weekend to fully test my theory.

gunaholic336 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Silver bodied EBR's are issued to Navy and PJ's, black bodied are issued to Army EBR's are issued in the Army? I guess you learn something new everyday I always thought it was more of a navy gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoE.Solidius Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I do not think they are issued. Its like EOTechs you must buy them with your own money but have the permission to use them. I highley doubt the ARMY issues them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
