TK4235 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Lol yeah that's me in my avitar but I haven't got my TK, life kinda got in the way but I still have my armour and intend getting it finished to spec at some point. Your sopmod sounds like it'll be spot on. Mine should remain stock till it breaks..... But I say that every time. Kenny check out the ukgarrison bro... Re the sopmod I was not really gonna do any upgrades other than a TB, until I started reading this thread..... that sucka sucks your bank balance bro... It's all the advice from the guys on this forum that have helped... so a big up to you all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honzo Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 richy, my stock tube on my m4 sopmod keeps coming loose (i bought an ar wrench tool and tightened it to tight-as-can-be). However, it just comes loose again after a while. Should I be applying any type of adhesive to make it stay? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elanaiba Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 It's interesting that since I bought the Laylax buffer tube ring / castle nut I had zero issues with the buffer tube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

weekenny Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Cheers TK got a login for there already I think shall have to get back on. Socom ordered from Echigoya was going to add a locking ring and some mags but then I'd have been charged full shipping only problem with the free shipping offer you can't add anything.

Kunlun Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Got these parts coming in for my SOCOM: Prometheus cylinder head Prometheus spring guide Prometheus nozzle Prometheus piston head Magic Box piston ( Apparently these are ######? :/ ) Already got: PDI 6.05 barrel Eagle6 spring Dean connector with lipo Any remarks/recommendations? Maybe get the Prom piston instead? I got the MB one because I couldn't find the Prom piston in stock :/ Edited September 15, 2011 by Kunlun Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They do free shipping to the UK... Superb! How much did you save there? I've never shipped an AEG from HK......mmmmm Would be interested to know what UK customs slaps on and also the so called parcel force fee (which you don't have to pay!!!)

I got the MB one because I couldn't find the Prom piston in stock :/ As you are going mostly for Prommy parts, i'd go the whole hog and make sure all the internals are the same. Then you at least are guaranteed compatibility..I'd also get a prommy cylinder too if you really want to, however there really is nothing wrong with the Marui cylinder....

weekenny Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Aye TK it would seem so, I checked shipping would have been around $75 so 50 quid saved. I've had a mixed bag from customs its just your luck. When a team mate and I both bought gas guns a week apart on my card only one got any charges. Hope I don't get hit as a TM recoil shock for a little over 300 notes is great Quote Link to post Share on other sites

akiraspeedstar Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Received and installed some new parts yesterday, much thanks to RichardY for the how-to video on Youtube, I haven't worked on an AEG in a good 6-7 years. Pretty soon I'll finish up all the Prometheus internals and possibly that new hard recoil system when it comes out. - G&P Knights Armament Style Flash Hider - It looked a lot more like the real steel version in the picture - Magpul PTS MIAD Grips - Very true about the plastic base not working with the gun, attempted all adjustments and it just wouldn't work, I got a metal base plate coming in hopefully tomorrow. - Eagle 6 M110 Spring - Eagle 6 Recoil Spring - Prometheus Spring Guide - Prometheus Cylinder Head - Prometheus Air Nozzle - Lonex Anti-Reversal Latch - Dark Earth SOPMOD Crane Stock - Didn't like the look of the VLTOR stock Edited September 15, 2011 by akiraspeedstar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Akira, what fps are you getting with this setup now? I presume you have no TB installed? Totally agree on Richardy's eagle6 sopmod videos... they are darn good and a very good reference point... Edited September 15, 2011 by TK4235 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Haha like it ! In that case hopefully the yen not HK dollars would have given it away :-) Was a long day in the office.... lol On a side note, my prommy TB came in today... took about 12 days to arrive from HK and cost £38 delivered...

Unfortunately I have no idea, I don't own a chrono (yet), at the next game I'll ask to use one of the other players chronos. As for the tightbore, I have a 300mm Prometheus 6.03 barrel installed.

As for the tightbore, I have a 300mm Prometheus 6.03 barrel installed. With the eagle6 M110 and your upgrades I expect the fps will be between 330-350fps, well that's what i'm hoping for as I have the same upgrades as yourself waiting to be installed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Doesn't a M110 normally put you around 350-370? Figured with the barrel it'd e around 370 which is what I was aiming for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad-Larkin Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 yup, maybe more with the tightbore. the m100 is around 330. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Oooops my Bad... that was a typo on my part... yes the eagle6 M100 should put it around 330fps... the M110 around substantially more 350-370fps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 That's a good price for the barrel, I think TB, locking ring and recoil spring will do mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
