akiraspeedstar Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Well this was an eventful and fruitful 3 days off form work. It looks like I'm once again a SOPMOD owner, the kid who purchased my gun didn't tell his father how much he was paying me and wanted him to return the gun. Unfortunately for him, I already spent $400 of the $1100 on a KWA MP7, spare MP7 mags, and some other mics. items. So all I offered him for a refund would be the remaining $700 and the guns that he gave me (that I fixed, they were in pretty bad shape) and he'd give me back my gun and everything I gave with it. In the end he said I could keep the sniper rifle for the trouble and accepted the $700 and the now fixed WE 1911's. Now that I have a MP7 on it's way for CQB activity, I'm thinking about turning my CQB-R from a MK18 MOD1 to a DMR setup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 heres my Sopmod "dressed" like the British Army L129A1 , its had a new spring fitted , baring spring guide , 6.3 tight bore and is putting out a very nice 349FPS on .2s and 330FPS on .25s ; What outer barrel are you running?

druid799 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) it's a dytac 16 inch . Edited March 1, 2012 by druid799 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Nice, that's the one I was looking at but I didn't know how it'd look. Is that 469 barrel sticking out past the outer barrel? Edited March 1, 2012 by akiraspeedstar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Furk me you must have eyes like a s**t house rat too see that ! Lol . yup it sticks out about a cm or so . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Stock Spring + Prommy Doubles Torques + AMP High Torque Motor + 11.1v 15c Li-Po = Instant trigger response. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I can't make up my mind.... 1) Keep my MK18 MOD1 look and add a KAC Suppressor or Gemtech G5 to hide a 407-455mm barrel or 2) Add a 16" Barrel, bi-pod, and a small scope for a DMR look with a 407-455mm barrel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Brief update, went back to the EG1000 as the AMP High Torque was having gear mesh issues with the Prometheus gears, finally tried my new ORGA MAGNUS 6.23mm barrel and Firefly Namazu flat hop combo, still on the stock spring and piston I was getting 300fps with the wide bore I only went down to 293fps but gained 20% (by estimation I'll need to properly range it out next week) range while maintaining a flat level "laser" like flight path. I need more punch and heavier BBs local players are too used to being pelted with .25s at +400fps to notice the love taps from my Marui.

GingaNinga Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Glad to see our 6.23mm Magnus is starting to catch on You should try our 125M spring as well. This will bring you back up to nearly 328 fps (or more) and will improve you distance a some more. My RECCE is currently being rebuilt with the full ORGA Magnus package for testing purposes. We have been extremely busy with custom builds so it isn't done yet, but we are hoping to get some video this weekend. It will include: - Magnus 6.23mm inner barrel (150 or 180mm length) - Magnus widebore cylinder and custom piston head - Core piston - M125 Spring - Namazu flat hop - Dendenmushi nozzle - SHS gears We have to use the 150mm barrel to keep it Japanese complaint (1J) so the longer barrel you ordered might explain why you didn't see as large a drop off in power as we usually experience in our builds.

Megalomaniac Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I did order the M120 spring that ORGA offers for the TM EBB, waiting on a new Prometheus piston head to get here as I managed to drop mine while building the gun and cause it to crack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GingaNinga Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I did order the M120 spring that ORGA offers for the TM EBB, I now know your secret identity I managed to drop mine while building the gun and cause it to crack. Bummer! Looking forward to reading your future updates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wootley Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Evening all, A mate of mine has just ordered a TM M4 Sopmod but wants to run a lipo battery in it, been trying to come up with some options on Google etc but not really turning anything up. Does the rifle need some type of adaptor to connect the lipo, if anyone has any links or advice it would be most useful Also any idea on what measurments the crane stock is from a battery point of view, what will actually fit?

SixtyNiner Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 After several months of umm-ing and ahh-ing I've finally gone ahead and bought a SOCOM today - along with a G&P Troy MRF rail, CTR stock and a bunch of smaller bits and bobs. First impressions are good and build quality is much better than I was expecting. Looking forward to messing around with this gun and getting as good as my PTW ;-) If I were to use a 11.1v Lipo with this gun would a plug and play MOSFET be okay, or do I need to use a micro-switch trigger? I really like a snappy trigger response… Wootley: Check out the TM RECCE Rifle review on Arnies, there is mention there of a Lipo adaptor for the TM stock. Or Eagle 6 make Lipo batteries shaped for the Marui stocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wootley Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Cheers Sixty, I did read that but the adaptor is not available in this country and the seller is out of stock and won't ship to the UK Checked the Eagle 6 site and they only do one battery priced at £119.99 and out of stock Any other ideas, what are you running in yours?

You'll either have to buy that adapter from Japan (which is out) or one of those LiPos from eagle6. The other options is to just desolder the stock battery system and solder on a deans connector. It'll be possible to fit a LiPo into the crane stock but nothing larger then a 7.4v. I've tried and was unsuccessful in finding a 11.1v that would fit into the crane stock. If I were to use a 11.1v Lipo with this gun would a plug and play MOSFET be okay, or do I need to use a micro-switch trigger? I really like a snappy trigger response… A MOSFET would be fine, though adding it to a SOPMOD will be a *badgeress*. For the SOCOM it won't be so bad since it's front battery wired, but for a rear wired gun you'd either have to front wire it, add excess wires to the front just for the mosfet, or shove the mosfet into your stock, which would limit it's movement. AWS is coming out with a drop in mosfet that replaces the whole trigger assembly in a couple of decades. On a different note, does anyone want to buy a Brand New ARS A.S.A.P. style sling mount for the SOPMOD, SOCOM, & RECCE? I'll sell it for $35 shipped (to the US).

wootley Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 How hard is it to desolder the standard system and just wire in a deans connector, is that what you did on yours akira? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Take off the stock, take off about 2 screws, desolder 2 wires, pull out the power bar, solder on deans connectors and you're good. I did this since the OEM batteries aren't worth the price at all for performance and reliability. I'd take pictures for you but I just sold and shipped out my gun today.

wootley Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Ok thanks for the info, I''ll be sure to pass that on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SixtyNiner Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Thanks for the advice Akira. I have a SOCOM so will be trying to fit a Lipo and Mosfet in the handguard. If that doesn't work out I'll resort to a PEQ box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Speaking of FETs which ones are people running as I'm get sick of waiting for the AWS FET. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If that doesn't work out I'll resort to a PEQ box. You should have enough room in there, especially since the SOCOM outer barrels are machined down a little at the bottom for more space.

Hope your going to up-grade your internals big time mate , a 11'er will shred a standard Socom (not internet hearsay I actualy saw the after effects of it , not prity) .

Megalomaniac Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I ran mine on an 11.1 prior to upgrading and the piston is still perfect as are the gears, I ran a few thousand rounds through it mostly semi, with limited full-auto. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SixtyNiner Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Druid: It'll be Prommy all the way once I've made a few orders. Has anyone fitted an ASCU MOSFET? I'm guessing it might be a problem as it has some sort of micro switch trigger. Any other MOSFET recommendations? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
