PureSilver Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 The RECCE upper is actually slightly different to the SOPMOD upper. Oh? How so? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan le Fou Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Sub standard, the threads have started to fade and the barrel nut has started to deform. dafrack? oO That's disappointing. :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pdubyuh Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Oh? How so? Indeed, I am intrigued??? I wanted to convert my Recce into a MK18 and was advised that the ris etc was a pig to get off so i just bought a new upper, barrel and the correct RIS and built a MK18 out of the recce lower and the new upper (its quite good as I can still swap back to the recce upper if required), I didn't notice any difference between the sopmod and the recce?

bladerunner168 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Whilst I haven't looked too much into detail, the Dytac barrel's fit perfectly well on a SOPMOD upper and is dead center as Airsoft standards go. If you install same barrel onto a RECCE upper, it slants to the right by about 7.5mm. It could just be the URX4 RIS, I definitely need to try other rails on the RECCE, was thinking a Madbull FDE Troy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pdubyuh Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Ah thats weird as I bought a normal sopmod upper for my Mk18 conversion and my Dytac barrel has a bit of a wobble this bit http://eagle6.co.uk/shop/catalog/product/view/id/630/s/tokyo-marui-outer-barrel-support/ was built into the barrel already ( I bought the expensive cnc'd one as I thought i'd need it, I guiuess I have a spare now !) it need some form of shim under that part or maybe a bit of the barrel at the base chopping off ? lord knows???

TheFull9 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 So many nice recoils... hopefully once I've given my 3 some implants and face lifting they'll be up to a similar sort of standard. For now, here's my SR as it currently stands. Cannot decide for the life of me if I should go to a black grip/stock, I'm leaning towards yes but I'm just not 100%. Looking back I really should've gotten a picture over the other side of the gun, this is what happens when you shoot outside and it's cold. Rush things. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 That's a nice clean gun. Black might look pretty nice. If not I'd at least go darker, rather than lighter, on the tan.One thing I don't understand: why the pressure switch on the light? It's mounted in an awkward position that doesn't seem to offer any advantages over the far simpler solution of just mounting the light on the left side with a thumbcap switch. I've gone back to this on my guns because it seems just as fast with a lot less junk hanging off my rifle. You can see it on my latest AK in the AK thread.Maybe there's some fancy weird new shooting stance I don't know about where your fingers are curled over the top of the barrel in a way that makes sense, I dunno. Genuinely curious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Tape switch on top can be activated from both sides using the fancy new shooting stance, where the thumb of the supporting hand wraps over the top. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ivan le Fou Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I wish they had made a real long MRP. Like 13". Edited February 7, 2014 by Ivan le Fou Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner168 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Is it just an issue with the barrel nut? The RIS itself is not too bad, but the barrel nut (the first one that goes on to secure the barrel to the upper) is made of a particularly weak grade of pot metal.

Yeah @Katotaka nailed it. Kind of surprised you've not seen it to be honest, I'm far from the first person to use that setup. When you use thumb-over-bore (as I always do for shooting and airsoft) that configuration gives you easy access to the switch from whichever side you're shooting, the thumb of the forward hand is always resting on the tape so you just press in and you've got light. The 11 o/clock mount + thumb cap is obviously popular these days because you can just hit it easily with a fairly conventional grip, but it's not as easy to get to it when you're shooting from the other shoulder and my gun spends its' time fairly evenly split between shooting arms when I skirmish.

RSM Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 CK, I'd go with black pistol grip and black e/p-mags with tan magpuls Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yeah, I think that's the right call. Probably skirmish it with TMAGs but it's not exactly a big job to switch magazines around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen it before, just never had the chance to comment with the person who had set it up that way. Anyway, makes sense... I just really prefer as few possible snag points as possible after a not-cool incident of a tree branch trying to take off with parts of my gun, and the pressure switch spending the next several hours flopping merrily in the breeze like a sad little johnson on a St. Bart's beach.

hwagan Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) I previously had my MRP set up so the push-switch for the light sat right on the tip of my thumb just in front of a Gaspedal; It was absolutely perfect for my usual left-hand operation, but I found when I played CQB I couldn't get to the light on a right-handed corner, which was a big PITA. I've since chucked the switch on the top rail and I can now get to it with either hand, so it definitely works better for me personally. Anyhow, I've switched photo-service in an effort to see if I can get some nicer pictures up, or any at all for that matter. All that's left to do now is a different muzzle device as I got bored of the AAC 51T, and find someone who knows how to witchcraft up a 3D modelling thing to get a copy of the MRP Piston block made up so I can change it over to the piston version.

badwitchproject Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've not painted an AEG since Bush was president, so I felt slightly nervous doing this and moreso posting. I think I overdid it with the pattern but made the mistake of covering up some shiny areas on the torch that I plan to fix with my airbrush shortly. Just needs the foregrip and it'll be ready to go. I'm using the elastic bands as a temporary measure but if someone could make a recommendation on how to hold the aimpoint cover back I'd appreciate it.

DeltaZero Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Here's my PTS RM4 Scout awesome rifle and the kick is fantastic. It's an AEG but it doesn't shoot like it! I've got an 11" Noveske NSR rail to put on it just need to sort out the wiring. Was hoping to put a Midwest Industries SS Series Gen 2 rail on it but I just cant see how I'll get the 3 cell 11.1v Lipo pack inside there!

bondkiller Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 My primary weapon system. WE GBB M4A1 lower with full Colt trades, Mk18 upper for indoor/CQB and 3-gun inspired DMR upper for outdoor/field play. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DeltaZero Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) High Speed? It's lay on his carpet split in half! Nope that's not mine, mine is the post above on stone slabs outside.. And thanks Sigma, I really like the carry handle on it, I think that's what gives it the classic look. I had a clone Trijicon SRS on there but in this British weather it just keeps fogging up so I went back to standard irons! Tried to keep this one minimal compared to all my other AR15 variants. Only adjustment is the MOE rail with Scout light, Crusader Surefire muzzle break and an ACS-L to replace the MOE stock.
