BigAl Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 The scout rail was initially developed to be used with magnifying optics. It was developed by the late great Col. Jeff Cooper of Gunsite Fame. The idea was that you could mount an IED (Intermidiaate Eye Relif) Scope or pistol Scope on the front rail wich would allow you to quickly target game or an armed enemy without obscuring your field of vision. It was initially for use on bolt guns and proved popular enough for Steyr to Produce their Scout Rifle. Later with the prolification of ris rails on everthing people started to mount reddots further forward for the same reasons. Link to post Share on other sites

davedawg123 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 How does the range/hopup compare? I would think TM's hopup is superior to CA. Link to post Share on other sites
msx361 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Yes Yes info please. Reassure me that i've still got the best m14 on the market please Link to post Share on other sites
Abelius Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 At least the stock should be superior to the shiny and ugly TM one. Love my TM nevertheless. Link to post Share on other sites
Wulfgar Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Is it possible to put a mount base on a SOC where it would go on a standard M14? Link to post Share on other sites
evilliboba Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Is it possible to put a mount base on a SOC where it would go on a standard M14? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes. They only difference between the two is the barrel length really. Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt_Lemi Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 My TM m-14 Socom the cloth on the front is a Russian style camouflage used by WW2 snipers... it has a clip on the bottom that I can attach part of a camo net too, but I left it out for the pictures Link to post Share on other sites
Slash' Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I'm really not a fan of the SOCOM-DMR thing - SOCOMs are meant to be more mobile and manouverable over the standard M14 - It just don't seem right gosh dayng it! Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 something like a Hurricane 551 Eotech? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yup. But you'll need to pick up some sort of comb raiser like those developed for the M1D 'Sniper' Garand. Unless you prefer chin-wields to cheek-wields. Link to post Share on other sites

The man has a point. My dad just got the socom to be my support man when im using the m14 (high fps so single shot only). That way we can share mags if needed. Not that i need support Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt_Lemi Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 To be honest, I didn't want the SOCOM... It was a Christmas gift... I had asked for the M-14 Wood, but the purchaser of the gun didn't realize there was a difference... bless her soul ... but having read up on the SOCOM, and seeing it was a gift, it seemed like a more reliable piece, didn't stop me from dressing it for scouting missions etc etc... and it works nicely ^^ Link to post Share on other sites

Skyrunner Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I love all these M14 SOCs that I see with the normal M14 flash hider, is it possible to put a normal M14 flash hider on a G&G SOC 16? I must get some pics of my baby up! Link to post Share on other sites
1cem4n Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 it should be as long as it's 14mm CCW. anyways, I love my M14 SOCOM and I'm seriously contemplating whether to leave it stock or not cause it fires so well. The only problem is thick bushes but otherwise, i outrange most people. I think the SOCOM is a lot better when you want to stay hidden because I think the M14 regular is too long.

suicidalsnowman Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I don't think G&G use a normal 14mm thread, the one on my M14 definitely isn't, you probably need to get one specifically for the G&G M14. Link to post Share on other sites
