Marui M4 Sopmod Battery Question

[Talonclaw117]

Could someone please explain how the battery sits in the stock on this gun? Would I be able to change it without hassle into a CAR-15 style stock, or would it be easier to get the socom version? Cheers!

Is it a crane stock? Crane stocks have their own special type of battery. Otherwise it's probably just mounted inside the handguards and you can then replace the stock with whatever you want.

The Marui Sopmod (assuming you mean the newer recoil version) has a proprietary battery in the stock - Rather than wires it clicks into the stock with the connectors being part of the stock/buffer tube assembly... The idea is you don't trap your wires when adjusting the stock.

 

I'm not sure how you'd go about changing it to a Car15 style stock, but it's definitely possible with some fiddling.

It pretty much depends on how you want to customise the front end, but the normal space for an M4 battery (the buffer tube) is full of springs and weights in the TM recoil guns, so it's either a battery in a big, chunky kind of stock, or in the handguard. I'd recommend the SOCOM personally, if the style of stock is your main concern then it's certainly the best option by a long shot, and there are a fair few options out there for handguards that will store a battery (other than the generic U.S. issue style).

Get the socom, easier to replace batteries, if you want to use a rail in the future, use a 2 cells lipo
