Mad-Larkin Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 and turns out the lack of burst is due to my &^*% army sopmod clone body on my tm. It's allowing the selector plate to move over the top of the button on the spectre and not actually depress it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carsten Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hey folks, is there a way to install an ambidextrous safety selector to the Nextgen?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 No - not unless you buy a NexGen gun that was sold with an ambidextrous selector originally. Those are (AFAIK) the SCARs, the HK416s, and maybe the G36s too? Guns that didn't come with an ambidextrous selector assembly (the non-HK416 AR-15s, the Kalashnikovs) cannot be retrofitted with one.

Mad-Larkin Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I'm a lefty Carsten, so having the safety on the far side of the gun from my thumb is a pain, but with practice ive found it doesn't slow me down at all. I'm able to pop it to full with the top of my hand if necessary, keep it on semi mostly though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What's the limitation? Is it the gearbox or just the receiver? Otherwise you could presumably pick up a 416 lower and do it that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JCheeseright Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 There's a couple of extra parts (cogs to actuate the selector switches) and I'm pretty sure the gearbox shell is different, sold my 416 a while back though so I can't check.

Richard Y Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) the lower is 2mm wider to allow for 1mm either side of the extra selector. the gearbox shell is the same as the m4. Its the pistol grip which holds the ambi cog in place at the back. theoretically it could work on an m4. but you might have to overcome the lack of space issue. probably sanding to get 1mm back. And obviously the right side doesnt have the part the gold pin would "click" into and also the stopper to manually stopper it being turned to much.

Carsten Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 @Mad-Larkin Just to clarify, I'm not a lefty I was just curious if it would be possible to upgrade the M4 since the Army is upgrading, too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly would love ambi selectors like my scar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I'm a lefty, and I wish the NexGens all came with ambidextrous selectors. If you're going to have to change the design of all of the parts anyway, which the Recoil Shocks basically do compared to the typical V2-based gun, and therefore you're not forced to have the selector assembly maintain backwards compatibility with older designs, why not design the ambidextrous selector in from the beginning? It's a real disappointment, to be honest. I keep hoping that someone (Prime or similar) will start making billet CNC'd aftermarket receiver sets for the Recoil Shocks, like they already do for the WA-pattern GBBRs, and that those receivers will include ambidextrous selectors, and it keeps not happening. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Tried a Guarder Infinite Torque in one of my SOCOMs... *fruitcage* awful, I've never heard an electric gun *fruitcage* howl and scream so much. No matter where I adjusted it, horrible. No discernible increase in semi response and the auto rate went through the floor, it was like firing a GPMG with the gas closed down to the point just before it runs away on you. Kind of cool in a weird way having the sort of steady thump on full auto but it just felt really wrong. Stock motor back in, much much happier gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sacairsoftsn00py Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Stock pistol grip, gears, and motor base plate? Brand new motor? Really odd as the past two infinite motor installs (in a RECCE and a 416 Devgru) with those setup yielded with excellent results. Quiet/smooth and snappy. ROF with a 7.4v did not increase the ROF by much. I did have to screw in the set screw farther into the base plate. Stock everything save for a spring upgrade.

TheFull9 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 MIAD with the metal base plate, stock internals, brand new Guarder. Works a treat with the stock motor but perhaps not with the UT it seems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sacairsoftsn00py Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 That would explain it. Magpul grips turn these things into mehhh. Stock motor in Stock grip. .. butter. Stock motor in miad...mehhh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Can't say my findings correlate with regards the stock motor. Didn't work at all with the standard base plate but with the metal one I get the exact same performance whether using the stock grip or a MOE/MIAD. Same with all 3 SOCOMs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sacairsoftsn00py Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Ah. The upgraded base plate. Issue with the original one was it wont let the motor back out some. It always stuck the marui motor too far into the bevel gear. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Y Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 yeah probably the maid and metal base plate combo. Could even be a bent com shaft on the gaurder motor. I had one once arrive and the pin gear shaft was pointing at 30 degrees off where it should have been. maybe it was dropped or stood on or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blam360 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 is there a special way to take off the end cap on the buffer tube? trying to swap out the recoil spring but the cap aint budging. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SixtyNiner Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I had to heat it before it would budge. That thing nearly gave me a nervous breakdown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad-Larkin Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I didn't have too much trouble with mine. Best tool for it I found was a metal ruler lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 video link below about 24mins in, and as above if you have the older style end cap which doesn't have the o ring and instead uses loctite you may need to heat with a lighter before it will come loose. http://youtu.be/hv8_FqCn_Ho?list=UUIHcndZaGIOO8l4FVv0JQtQ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VIPER-GR Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 ? strange thing happened yesteraday, as i was trying to put the lonex 5.9mm bushings with lonex gears for next gen, it was tight as hell, even with shims or not. When i put the magic box bushings, magic all moved freely as it would.Keep that in mind guys. Also the original cylinder head was loosing compression at the base of the metal rod? where the nozzle goes. Another one as i tried to unscrew the original piston head according to the eagle's videos i had to remove the little cap in order to have access to the screw. I did that for 3 different pistons....
