Elvis Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 How hard would it be to convert a G&P upper to fit the Sopmod? I would like an m16a2 upper... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scuffer Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Guys sorry to do this, I need to open up a SOPMOD - I'm currently reading my way through this thread, but are there any good takedown guides which will help me in the short term while I work my way through all the info in here and elsewhere.

Boba_Fett Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Just ordered a Tanio Koba barrel for my SOPMOD. But it seems the Firefly Rubber bucking soft is sold out all over the world Someone got a hint? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oppressor Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 From where did you ordered the TK barrel? What price ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boba_Fett Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I orderd at firesupport. They still got some in stock and the shipping is fair compared to "over-seas" shops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elanaiba Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Oppressor, firesupport.co.uk should ship cheap and fast to Romania Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vader Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) About the Madbull Mk18 Ris II, is there a difference between the madbull and the socom gear version? Because two friends got the socom gear version and both rails did fit without modification. As far as I know there are two barrel nut thread types, a smaller one and a bigger one, where the Marui Sopmod has the smaller one. I tried the G&P URX II rail (which has the bigger thread) and of course it was a bit loose, but still did fit when I tightened it enough. So I'm a bit confused now, when I read that some peoples RIS II rails dont fit, because that would mean there is a third kind of thread size!? I already read a few times that the RIS II wont fit, as well as that it does fit (to the standart AEG thread which should be the same as the Marui one, the G&P threads being the exception). My problem is that I want the FDE version and all Socom Gear versions are out of stock (which I already know that they fit), but the question is whether the Madbull version is really different. I was under the impression that Socom Gear just rebrands the very same products that are produced by Madbull, but maybe I'm wrong. Does anyone have acctual measurements of the threads or had experience with both the Madbull and the Socom Gear version? Edited March 4, 2011 by Lord Vader Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheFull9 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 *snip* That surprised me as well actually I have to say. I don't own any SG/Madbull rails but I can say for certain that the thread on the TM receiver is definitely the TM standard spec, I've run various barrel nuts on to my SOCOMs which also fit just fine on all my other guns which are the standard spec. Also, from what I've been told madbull puts the standard threading on to their rails, and in fact I'm pretty sure the Recce uses a madbull handguard, so I'm not sure why there's a fitment issue myself.

elanaiba Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Well maybe it was just my example, I'll have to see if I can find the box to see if it was the madbul or the socom gear (pretty sure it was this one). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vader Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I asked my friends again and it turned out they have the madbull version after all, at least the box said madbull. So I'm going to order it now. Still can't imagine that the socom gear version is different, but well. When I got it, I hopefully can confirm again that, at least the madbull one fits.

elanaiba Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Well i had mine for over a year, they might have adapted in the meantime. I remember exchanging emails with the manufacturer, and they were unsure whether it would fit. On one hand they said - it should fit - but on the other they said they heard there's something peculiar about Sopmods threading. From what I tested both the VFC KAC URX II and the Kingarms Larue Stealth rails fit ok Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robi Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 usully pressing the bolt-release button is very easy, but in snatches i have to push the button hard. Am I the only one with this problem and how can I solve it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 'Snatches'? You mean just occasionally or in phases? There isn't all that much material linked to the bolt release paddle to be honest, either it's the little piece on the magazine that's getting a bit stuck or the small metal links inside the lower that're binding up a bit. If you fire it with an empty mag so it locks then take the mag out is it still hard to press? That'd eliminate one thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scuffer Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Any one had any issues regarding the front receiver pin being rediculous tight and un-movable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 you have to get the reciever in the right position, even if you think it is. put the gun on its barrel and push down on it to get the reiver into the upper. then push the pin in at the same time. dont hammer it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I've always just hammered it with a big drift to be honest, no problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 just watch with hammering as if the lower and upper are misaligned you could push outwards the lower reciever and as you can imagine the cast metal doesnt bend, it will just crack all the way along. Ive had several people buy lower recievers off me for that reason, expensive mistake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 In all honesty, with my guns there's nothing to align, there's zero back/forth movement between the 2 receivers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boba_Fett Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 So, just installed the Tanio Koba barrel. Had to enlarge the Hop Up Buffer ruber to make the TM HopUp bucking work. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Accuracy looks like that of the Madbull barrel. Just tested it with different sorts of BBs. Next step ist testing the range during a game Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Next step ist testing the range during a game Can't say that I had that problem myself but I used a guarder clear hop rubber when I put in the TK. In fact, I found the rubber/barrel combo to be a better fit than my previous offing of a standard 6.03 and firefly rubber, resulting in the energy output rising by 0.15J (which I found quite unusual as the fps should and usually does drop with the twist barrel). I can't say that I noticed any massive increase in range as I always found the sopmod hop to be as good as it gets but I did notice an improvement in "groupings", especially with 0.25's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
