elanaiba Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yes yes yes yes please please please shimms shimms shimms. Noreally, I need some of those shimms, and by the looks of it... not 1 or 2 but something to cover about 1-2 mm of space. The shimms here http://www.wgcshop.com/wgc2008/main/produc...catid=&cat= would most likely work. But good luck finding those!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OK Im confused now, those are not the kind of shims I imagined I'd need!!! Without sounding like a stupid needy child can anyone illuminate me with a diagram of what it is I'm going to need!!??

dynamic_e Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 WHere can you get a cot down outer barrel? Lack of 14mm CCW Die stinks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elanaiba Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Both PDI (X-fire) and Laylax have ~10.5" barrels out - for CQB-R style carbines. Their kinda hard to find though: http://www.dentrinityshop.com/pr_details.jsp?pid=14298 - in stock here apparently New products from laylax: http://laylax.com/products/detail.php?product_id=4341 - more solid barrel lock "nut" ?! No problems with mine... http://laylax.com/products/detail.php?product_id=4342 - selector plate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 whats the barrel lock nut thingy? good news on the selector plate, no probs here but i was going to have to machine one for my single only mod lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elanaiba Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 ok the half nut in question goes under the actual barrel nut, in the groove of the barrel. The barrel nut exercises pressure on it and locks the barrel into place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Number5 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Ok, so, I'm going to have to ask you all to forgive my ignorance again, but will this barrell nut then, not only provide better 'barrel stability' but will it allow the instalation of aftermarket rail systems (being much better and larger? than the silver OEM barrle nut?) without leaving barrell wobble?

Richard Y Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 still dont know what it does translation M4 next generation will be the basis of the body to secure the Outer Barrel of the gun "barrel base" will be required to be tough to get a large load of heavy bombardment by the tasks and desorption from the outside. M4-based next-generation hard barrels are made of machined steel, will significantly improve the accuracy of Outer Barrel mounting strength of the surrounding normal parts to replace. Tightening can be stronger than that by using a special wrench, you can get a sense of improved rigidity and durability of Chile and temper. I dont understand my sopmods solid as a rock, why does it need improved rigidity? ill wait till it reaches the shops and a we get a product description. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I'm thinking of picking up the TM M4 CQBR thing? Any differences in reliability or power between it and the original SOPMOD? Anything I should know? How are people's' M4's doing generally? Cheers, Ben. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok me using the term "barrel nut" was a mistake. Its a barrel clip or something. The new Laylax one looks identical in shape but maybe stronger. See original in this pic I'm also sure its same shape as the original and wont solve the "aftermarket rail/barrel nut issue" because in the pictures on laylax site the are using what looks to be the stock barrel nut in combination with it.

Richard Y Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) hi ben no difference, really they are identical apart from a 100mm shorter barrel both inner and outer i do believe! Preemptive Welcome to the sopmod club! I think even those with carbines or CQB versions or sopmods all generally refer to them as sopmods. mines still going strong! kicking butt! just in the process of building a new lipo battery for mine, an 11.1v this time. heres another version i found a while back I'm thinking of picking up the TM M4 CQBR thing? Any differences in reliability or power between it and the original SOPMOD? Anything I should know? How are people's' M4's doing generally? Cheers, Ben.

L4byr1nth Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Heya, thanks for the reply! I'm planning on selling off most of my other gear - I only really use my VSR anymore, so it doesn't make sense having all these AEG's lying around. Rather just have one that does everything I need it to, and I refuse to buy a Systema PTW! Anyone have any idea if there's anywhere I can get one in the UK? I know places like FireSupport have the normal SOPMOD, but I'm only really interested in that CQBR version. I'm not UKARA, so importing one would be a pain in the *albatross* for me. Ben.

Richard Y Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 hop units ten times better on this over the systema one and its 1:1 scale and the weights 3.2 kg, dont get me wrong the systema ones feel so nice but ill take mine any day for half the price.. in my mind as the ultimate aeg.. And at the end of the day we there to play the game and this thing plays it well hehe, i sold up all mine guns for this a year ago, the gun to end all gun purchases i called it.. i treat it like a real workhorse and it just keeps on ticking! Dont think its out here yet im sure it wont be long, youve got two options either phone firesupport up and get an ETA on the CQB version, as they are always having to order new sopmods. Or buy a sopmod and fit the shorter PDI cqb outer barrel and a inner barrel to match... The later would be a quicker solution, unless firesupports round the corner with there next delivery... It was on the same flyers as the G36k which is now coming into stock so im sure the cqb isnt to far away.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Thanks for the info, I might shoot FireSupport an e-mail. Now lets hope I can sell all my guns! Ben. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elvis Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I've played for the first time with my TM m4 socom. The looks, the feeling, the sound, the shooting and the bolt stop. I can describe it in 1 word: Awesome! Now I was wondering, does it make a big difference for upgrading it? For beeing a stock aeg the range was pretty good... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 yeah the hop units prity great as is ! imagine after some upgrades! then welcome to our world of bliss and joy... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 The hopup units on these guns are ridiculous. Very positive adjustment, very consistent performance and an amazing seal despite the 9 foot long nozzle. Im very pleased with the MILDLY upgraded performance of my 350 fps blaster. Easily pegging head shots at 120 feet no problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morb Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) got my CQB-R yesterday from redwolf. Haven't fired it yet... hope it'll be as good as the 'normal' m4 sopmod first thing i'm looking for is how to attach a sling to this thing... prolly buy a new one... suggestions? Edited February 9, 2010 by morb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elanaiba Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 What sling are you using/looking at? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morb Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 For the moment I have this 1-point cheapo sling without a mount So I'll probably have to replace this one. I want to use a 1 point sling as it's the easiest/fastest for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 i use the 3 point blackhawk sling for the m4 its quite good theres a few rear sling mounts avaaible now, and some people even widened a normal mount to fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dynamic_e Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Anyone have a set of the socom hand guards kicking around that they want to get rid of? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elanaiba Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I suggest buying a set of G&P or similar handguards - much better looking than the Marui ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morb Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I guess the Freedom Art Swivel Ring for Marui SOPMOD M4 would fit the cqb-r as well? Is it any good? As for the sling, should i go for the magpul pts ms2 sling? (clone) I guess it'll work with the mount? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
