Richard Y Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 after trying the magic box stuff and not getting on well with it, poor fitment etc... i really really wouldnt recommend anything other than prometheus parts... either fit nice fitting proemtheus parts or leave it with the standard TM parts. I just hate when companys make these parts for the sake of it, they dont check for fitment etc The prometheus stuff isnt just stronger you pay for a better fit, and they usually will do something like offer a better seal, or faster operation, when you buy other brands, all you get is "made out of metal"... Tm or promy... its a crime fitting anything else on guns which are well .. expensive.. With regards the firefly stuff, i really do love the hop rubbers and flat nub system, so i would be willing to give there nozzle a go also... i like there stuff they think outside of the box.

AnakChan Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hey guys, now I'm not certain if I'm reading this right (from the Arms magazine Dec edition), but in Laylax's page on their next gen parts, it says MUR Type 1 . Unfortunately the pic they put up is somewhat generic and they coupled it together with a regular AEG lower receiver. Which makes me wonder if the wording is wrong or the picture is wrong. The RRP is Y25,000 (approx USD$306). Street price would be cheaper. Meanwhile, their piston is still a picture diagram, not a photo - so I guess the piston's not available yet.

Richard Y Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 MUR type 1? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnakChan Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Yep, Vltor's MUR-1 upper receiver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 and laylax is producing a whole upper receiver ? interesting.. i guess they got tired of waiting for others to do it. i was really hoping g&p would pick up the torch, im fitting there m16 front end kit atm and its nice but a pain in the *albartroth* if its not made specifically for the sopmod. Its interesting as well that they arnt doing the lower as well! since thats the part people break the most! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Why uppers and lowers are soooooo expensive...? for that price you can almost get a full gun... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnakChan Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 ...my GBB Prime receiver cost me about USD$800 ...'cos i had to buy the Prime Magpul full receiver, then buy a separate Prime MUR upper. That Laylax one, it better be CNC-ed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Anak, wont tell you what I think about your spending habits Myself, for that price i expect the upper to be made of vibranium and mixed with pure win and awesomeness but have to admit that if the price was actually for a complete upper/lower/tube could fool myself to buy one set Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elanaiba Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 If its just the upper receiver, its more expensive than the freakin' RS upper !? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 So it seems.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 had a crack at fitting the new front end and full stock tonight.. still got a way to go then final fitting and assembly but its at least looking like its going to happen now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elanaiba Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Did anyone find a way to fit Magpul Ranger or L plates to the mags? Considering the magazine internals are held in place by a screw going through the magazine floorplate, it seems to me we have a no-go or a big adaptation work... right?

Isamu Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 I fitted an ACM Ranger with very little modification to stock lowcap, just made the ranger's screw hole a bit wider in order to make it line with the mags internal hole, screw it and.... done Looking good richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caelas Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 My stock is becoming loose already, recommendations of where to order a new lock? I'm in the U.S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 i think ill have a couple spare on wed. Give me a Pm then and ill let you know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caelas Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) Thanks, appreciate the help. By the way, what weight BB's do you all suggest for a SOPMOD, I have been using bioval .23's and get good results, but I think going down to .20's or up to .25's might yield better results. Edited November 13, 2010 by Caelas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Depends on your FPS, I use bioval 0.20(have a bit of overstock right now) with a 340FPS setup and results are nice but 0.23 o 0.25(depending on the bb speed you want) may give you better results. If you run your gun stock, stick to 0.20 or 0.23 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caelas Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Stock setup at the moment, I am going to rewire it to the front, add a PEQ box, and a new stock, and start upgrading the internals with promy parts. Buying some .2's right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caelas Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Sorry for the double post, can't find the bloody edit button, could SOPMOD owners please tell me what sling setups have worked for you, I am trying to settle on a configuration at the moment.

AnakChan Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 If its just the upper receiver, its more expensive than the freakin' RS upper !? Reckon that's expensive ? I'm about to order TM's lower receiver and buffer tube only and that's coming up to USD$240 . This is pot metal of which over time will wear on me again. So in restrospect these prices are very consistent. On the other hand, if people do think it's expensive, there's always the option just looking and not of not buying .

Hatchet Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 CQB-R turned up today, guess I'm in the club. Much prefer the EMOD stock on it - space for a couple of CR123's, mount point for QD stud and the entire battery assembly is covered by the rear buttplate, rather than being part buttplate, part battery like the sodmod. Just trying to determine if there's a way to use existing lipo battery (which just fits) without having to do a rewire. I'm a little reluctant to start messing about soldering on a brand new gun...

biribiri82 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Got my first aeg, a sopmod coming through the post soon and having read this whole thread has been very informative and from i can see its best to buy and add the following to make it less prone to failures: Prometheus gold connector bar First Factory hard stock block First Factory hard locking ring First Factory wrench So is there any more bits that i should add to the list to make it more reliable? Also has any one had any experiences buying items from Echigoya (http://echigoya-guns.com/) overseas. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caelas Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I replaced the TM stock with a classic army, and use a butterfly battery instead of TM's rather awful stock battery, I would think about that as an option. I am looking at using the Irene Adaptive sling with a QD mount and an RIS mount, Is that a viable option? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
