akiraspeedstar Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Why not just put a DD rail and longer outer/inner barrel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 i may do yet! they guy i got it from lied about just about everything about it, its costing me a fortune to fix it. Recce sells for a lot Recce replica though im not sure if it has the same sexy sales appeal. It needed a new lower reciver, stock tube, hard stock peice, theres 1 missing battery, the other doesnt work and currently the ris is broken too. Suffice to say i payed to much and got a lemon. But i shall breath life back into this monstrosity, Im really tempted by your idea actually. Never really been an outsides person dispite that epic m16a3 i built, i ll have a look on some sites for a front end which might fit. Maybe turn this into something we might claw me back some cash. at this point id be happy breaking even. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 ok so running with this and doing some searching, even though im technically meant to be at the workshop doing guns Check out that RIS i cant seem to find anything Exactly like it Ive found the barrel.. http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/dytac-16inch-mid-length-outer-barrel-assembly-for-marui-m4-ebb-black.html and a 4x ACOG to site on top. and stock http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/gandp-m4a1-le-tactical-sliding-buttstock-black.html maybe i move it somewhere between recce and i am legend. I checked the madbull site they dont do anything exactly like the RECCE RIS unfortunatly it appears to be unique. looks like this is the closest. http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/madbull-daniel-defense-lite-rail-9inch-picatinny-handguard-black.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Banshee_Will Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 The RIS on the recce rifle is the DD RIS 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnakChan Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) Actually, no...it's more like the DD AR 15 lite, not the RIS 2. Edited November 16, 2011 by AnakChan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Yeah that looks more like the lite rail, I have the Madbull MK18 rail and its not that skinny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 On the Recce its the 10" DD lite rail https://danieldefense.com/rail-systems/ar15-lite-railtm-10-0-mid-length-extended.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Suddenly i'm thinking what's wrong with the Marui stock SOPMOD rail.....? And then i see the delta ring spring attachement on the Marui rail and am think how ugly that looks.... The recce sure does look sweet..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Richard, who sold you a lemon, hopefully no one from this forum or on Z1? It's shocking how dishonest people are...!! On a side note, Received the M100 and M110 springs so thanks for those... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hard laylax stock peice on it was broken too, no firefly hop rubber when i opened it up, so thats two highlights of the sale gone. Broken lower, broken ris, broken stock tube threads. Motor pinion striped. and it was all loose as *fruitcage*. Missing battery pack and adaptor, and the other doesnt work. Promises of the missing RIS peice and battery when he gets round to it. My mates picked it up and said you paid what for this... But i knew there would be a broken reciever and pinion, but the rest all came as a bit of suprise. If i can sell the 8 mags separate and eventually get and fix and sell the two battery packs and put a lot of TLC into this gun and send it of for a decent spray job .. i may break even... maybe.. I knew the guy too, hence why ive struggled to get a refund and im ending up having to settle with some cash back (not arrived yet) and the promise of those missing items at some point, oh and it arrived in a gun bag.. no box, delivered in a bag. Suffice to say it was a pretty bad deal, no point dwelling on the lemon, time to make some lemonade Lets face it if i didnt take it on no one would, and it would have either been passed around as spares or left in a box some where.

Banshee_Will Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Gutted that you got a bum deal. But if anyone can fix it you can. I will take two of those spare mags. Send me a price via PM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Whoa, I'd only spend like $50 (us) for that gun and I'd still fell like the other guy was getting the better end of the deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Rant on >>>> I'd be mortified to sell something like that to anyone... why can't people just be honest upfront... what's wrong with the world!! Grrr >>>> Rant off But yes, if anyone can fix it, it's you Richard... after all you are "Baron von Sopmod"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hatchet Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 They've only been out a year and a bit haven't they? How'd he wreck it so fast?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elanaiba Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Any idea when the new ARS recoil weight will come out - I suppose it will come with a new buffer tube, and don't want to buy an old style one if thats just around the corner. Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Makes me wonder though, I remember the older one being 400grams and solid brass right? The one I see on Echigoya now has the suspension system and is 350grams, which is the weight of the second one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnakChan Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 AFAIK, the final design is as per my post here. You can see in the last pix, they had already made so many of those :- http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/158786-initial-impressions-of-the-tm-sopmod-m4-aeg/page__view__findpost__p__2492037 However before they got there they tried quite a few different designs :- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Any news on the new/enhanced reciever extension/recoil unit? I'm waiting to do all my mods at once so if I can wait for that setup i will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 yeah isnt there a whole new recoil version ? i aint gunna buy any surus units untill i know whether or not some fancy new things coming out with lots more recoil lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Same here, I actually recently made a nice sized order from Echigoya, though I didn't order the recoil unit because I don't want the old one haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnakChan Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 That enhanced SURUS or whatever it's called is still not out yet. I'm not sure how far they are with their patent. AFAIK, I have only played with one prototype and don't know if they have more. i.e. how far along they are into mass production vs concept, I don't know. P.S. I'm stating my opinion, i.e. I'm not trying to sway sales either way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Folks I've just received my prommy cylinder and am thinking i've been given the wrong one. The one I have is labelled Prometheus Stainless Hard Cylinder for a Marui AEG Type A 451mm to 550mm. However on the packaging it says Version VII which is Version 7. Is this the correct cylinder for the sopmod or the EBB gearbox? Also there are no ports on the sides of the cylinder but it is ribbed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) Technically speaking the version 7 is 1mm longer than the normal normal version 2 A type. What this means is try and fit it, its either going to fit and be a better tighter fit than normal, or youll have trouble closing the casing, if thats the case turn it on its end and rub it once or twice on a peice of sand paper agasint a hard flat surface. Most sites and places dont see any difference between the two products... hence why they have no problem sending out one as the other. Not everyone is as nerdy as me when it comes to internals. I dont blame them, most of the time gearbox shells are off spec and loose any way so probably all the time no one notices... Also when installinga normal one in an m14 it fits and works its just a fraction loose. No detrimental effects.. Theres usually one rule IF a company has taken the time to come up with a product dispite what the general internet does theres usually a reason, dispite how tiny the difference. Take the scar piston, it fits and works in the AK recoil gun BUT there is technically a specific AK piston which will do a more proffessional job.

TK4235 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Ok, i'll stick it in and see what happens.. I just got concerned coz when one does an internet search you get different photos coming up... some have those 2 ports on the side, other don't... it's all confusing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 yeah two ports would be b or c type or something ... its a generic pic full or A type has no window / port for both version 2 and 7. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
