TheFull9 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 So fixing this is definitely going to require the gearbox coming out of the lower receiver? That's the one thing I'd been diligently avoiding so far.. ah well. I'm a bit annoyed to be honest because all I've ever touched is stuff on the upper and this thing has barely seen 1k rounds through it. Plus that mechanism is fairly well protected by the surrounding of the GB shell and the lower I'd have thought, first thing I've had go wrong on any of my TMs though so it can be forgiven.

Richard Y Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 its a werid one, it just sticks in the contacts. Try banging the side of the gun it may jog it loose enough for a quick fix, it if it doest it a lot, youll have to go in and just open them up a little, even try polishing them a little to make them smoother. tm addsa lot of grease around that area for a smoother action.

TheFull9 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Cool, well I'll be following your very handy video and taking my GB out of the lower next time I'm home and getting this sorted, cheers mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caelas Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Evike is aggressively pricing the SOCOM, look at the difference! http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?products_id=33794 http://www.airsoftextreme.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=364_67_534&products_id=4249 I had to pay 525$ for my SOPMOD... this seems crazy.

Richard Y Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 300 dollars has to be a mistake , buy it up ! Buy hundreds that's cheaper than in japan lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
naff44 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 thought id add some pics of my marui next gens as i havnt really showed them off yet first up is my sopmod next my cqb-r in tan i know its not a sopmod but its still marui and its still recoil! oh and did anyone say Eagle6 lipo?! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 ahaha nice work, loving the pics.. Guns are looking good, more than happy to see an ak pic, they are extremely underated with the sopmod getting the attention. oddly likeing the tan one, i didnt thing i would but looks nice! Watch that sling mount in the first pic they have a tendancy to work the locking ring loose might be worth a 1 a month check up just to make sure its tight, precautionary only and all that.

naff44 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 thanks for the advice rich, im planning on changing the locking rings in the near future but i will keep ontop of it wit the checking the ak is amazing, as all of my marui recoils are, but with one of your springs fitted and a 7.4v lipo in there it really comes alive! like you say very understated, but im actually looking for a 74n now to complete my armoury the cqb-r i was worried about clour wise before it arrived, in all the pics ive seen it looks real plasticy but when i opened the box i was really pleased with how it actually looked in person, just gotta wait for my new optics and rail covers to arrive and im all set!

That's a crazy price! I notice they are now "out of stock". So I guess they were either clearance items or it was a mistake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnakChan Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Someone either has just bought a boat load (and I'm looking at Richard here ), or Evike just read this thread!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Ahaha nah not me, my monies tied up with 100 other things. Wish I could that was cheaper than what it cost them. Evike recoil giveaway lol . I unfortunately don't order much from the states there's a massive customs charge on well anything. It's much more reasonable from else where, I guess they still think the exchange rate is actually good. I guess we can all dream of tm reducing there guns to that sort of price.

Caelas Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 My guess is that they only had one or two, perhaps that they found in the warehouse, and priced it at 300$ to get rid of them. That or they messed up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oppressor Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I need a swivel for my gun but don't know which ones fit. I think these 2 will fit OK, but they are expensive: Freedom Art Swivel Ring for Marui SOPMOD M4 ( Ver. 2 ) & Freedom Art Swivel Ring for Marui SOPMOD M4 any cheaper alternatives that will fit the SOPMOD ?

Isamu Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Cheaper alternative is getting a GBBR one and file it with a dremmel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 these ones are good http://eagle6.co.uk/shop/ars-magpul-asap-style-sling-mount-for-sopmod-recoil-series.html ready made to fit the sopmod, cnc cut etc etc plus they dont put any strain and offer attachment from all sides Quote Link to post Share on other sites
naff44 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 will you be getting any more of these in again richard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Lol at some point on the long list of bits I'm trying to stock might be quicker ordering through echigoya they stock them too. I really need to bulk order some Sopmod packs and im getting some sexy new hi torque motors in soon. Just right for the Sopmod. The elements pinion was a little wide it wouldn't fit with out some dremeling which I can't expect every one to do, so I've had to source an alternative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arne71 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) I have two V2 recoil rifles. On the first the bolt lock mechanism has never worked. When the magazine is empty, the rifle continnues to fire. Btw all my magazines are set in 82 rd mode. When I received the second rifle I noticed that the bolt catch stood erected from the receiver (like it should) when the rifle had an empty magazine inserted. However I haved not fired this rifle yet, as I`m waiting for my airsmith to wire it the way I want it. I have switched magazines between the two rifles, but to no effect. Status quo for both rifles. This leads me to belive that the problem lies with the rifle and not with the magazines. Any solutions for this problem? Edited January 11, 2011 by arne71 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kithooton Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi all, Sorry if its been said before. But wanted to know if the SOPMOD OR CQB-R will fit the Daniel Defense DD Omega Rail RAS 7" Madbull Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 If the mags don't activate the cut off properly on both guns either both guns bolt lock levers arnt moving properly or the mags need cleaning. Mine work fine even with 0.28. If it does I just clean the mag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Easy way of starting the process of elimination, just stick your finger in the mag well and see if you can push on the little actuating lever for the bolt lock, if it's stuck then there's your problem. Sounds the most likely thing to me seeing as the mags make it work properly in your new gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arne71 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thank you CKinnerley! Looks like you have located the problem. Is there an easy fix? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BerserkDS Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Check for anything being lodged, try removing your upper receiver properly and check for anything unusual Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hatchet Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) @Hatchet: Isamu is correct, they haven't really changed the 'system' of the HU take down. It needs a bit of force since the stock TM innerbarrel and the HU rubber sit very very tight inside the HU unit. You're not wrong! Spare hop unit turned up today already in bits, so I can see how it comes apart/goes together. Stuck a normal systema hop and an AK length barrel in it and it is tight as... well, a very tight thing indeed. Think it's going to need silicon spray to get it in there properly. Edited to add - In a shocking outbreak of common sense, I loosely chucked it together beforehand and discovered the barrel is too long *before* I spent 30 mins wrestling with a hop. Madness I tell you! Edited January 13, 2011 by Hatchet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
