Yoroiden Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Im looking for a certain picture, maybe somene remembers it and has it saved on their computer. - Star M14 Sopmod - User called Keysersoze or something similar - the lower bas painted brown and the upper chassis was tan. - I think he had an Eotech 552 sight on it Lost my old files and I recently bought a Star Sopmod just to imitate that particular gun. I happen to own that very gun, I'm the 3rd owner after Keyser sold it. I'll see if I've got his pics of the gun in either my files, or if they're still archived on one of our local forums. One of the owners between him and me stripped the paint off and re-finished it, though I've still got some traces of that brown/tan paint in some corners of the body.

vietnammarine Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) I have bough another 2 secondhand WE M14s recently - total 7 now. To my delight, one of them has trademarked receiver (looking quite good) so without hesitation I have used it for my Nam M14. Also it seems newly installed ML Diamond rubber has set it and I can reach people above 100m again with 0,50 BBs and app.110-115m/s muzzle velocity.

I'm finishing a late 90's early 00's DCU load-out and this would go great with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm finishing a late 90's early 00's DCU load-out and this would go great with it. I had a lazy Sunday yesterday and decided to spraypaint my SOPMOD M14 base on that picture. I painted the lower chasis brown and the rails sand/tan. I left the gun itself alone, since the charging handle and bolt/bolt cover do not move on the Star M14's, so paintig it would have been either a real PITA or sloppy. I think it's not necessary either. I'm very happy with the result, I've wanted to do this ever since I saw Keyser's gun. I added rubber rail covers on the side rails, a tan grip-pod and a replica Trijicon Reflex. Still need to paint the magazine in dark grey. I don't think I will weather the gun, as it's a wall hanger for me and I don't want to ruin the resale potential of a somewhat expensive but almost unknown gun.

vietnammarine Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Yeah, it's funny how there is much, much, much more airsoft ones than the original Troy Rock SOPMODs made for Navy trials against EBR. I think that's actually also the reason of low spread and kniwledge on this M14. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

judgeman Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Hey can anyone give me a tip or two as to how to get the castle nut off so I can remove my flashider? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 On the marui there is a small allen key bolt either in the top or bottom that meshes with the castle nut. Its at an angle should see it from the front. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Happy to see the finished M14! What happened with your woodstock? As I remember you planned a wood one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
judgeman Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 It cracked at the grip and shredded my hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
judgeman Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Bought myself a Springfield Armory front sight. Gonna spend the weekend doing my (least) favorite thing, you guessed it, cutting and filing dovetails. Dremel + file + rage = *fruitcage* my life ÷ Hopes and dreams X I'm horrible at real math = maybe a pretty M14. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
judgeman Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) National Match front sight. Not my best work, but it's all getting replaced with legit Springfield Armory here eventually. Edited June 8, 2017 by judgeman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bloodsword Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Why do you disassemble it for painting? I only cover the hop up and barrel end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) Because I only want to paint the stock and heatshield. Also, Im getting markings engraved, so the gun needs yo be disassebled either way. This is my project: I might paint it OD first, since I already bought a G&P Brown heatshield.

I am an idiot: turns out you open the battery compartment simply buy sliding and then pulling the whole stock end out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
