White_Death1 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Tm seems to be masters of plastic casting and casting in general,I have never seen better casting work than on a TM,comparing it to other cast products,not in airsoft alone. I'm still a bit wary of recoil shocks,I want to wait a few years,however silly that may seem,for them to prove their reliability. I hear the guy who made the M92f went to work for WE when he was ordered to commit ritual suicide for making a *suitcase* gun. (Not hating on WE,just making fun of them. Their glocks are bloody fine guns) Link to post Share on other sites
Baddbaz Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Real sword , type 97 has better casting , but the tm is a close second , But real sword have an advantage to start with , norinco factory parts .. I just wish tm would use better plastics / polymers on their guns . Hate the shiny look after a few months use .. Link to post Share on other sites
White_Death1 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Yeah,i hate Shiny TM plastics. It's very strong but the finish is not great. A nice coat of Krylon usually helps. My VSR lost it's rubbered finish only after two years of use,the new VSR I have is 6 years old and is shiny to a toy like look. Link to post Share on other sites
hiawatha Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 The socom would be the easiest route, i agree. Had some field-play with my friends this weekend. I switched alot between my TM scar and ptw and as said before in this thread, travel time actually is a problem if you want good results :/ While the TM goes almost as far and accurate as my ptw, the travel time really is holding me back. My friends and i actually experienced a far better result from my part with the ptw and 130 cylinder. They all said that the loud sound of the Scar always send a warning, and the travel time gave them the time needed to put their heads down. Still alot of fun using it though Any experience with heavy tuned TM;s ? Link to post Share on other sites
appslapp Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 No problem tuning up the next gen...in our team we have m4/scar (next gen) from 90ms to 120ms. Most of the guys switching from PTW to Nextgen here;) Link to post Share on other sites
hiawatha Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Good to hear Apslapp! Looks like my ptw is getting taken from me this weekend, so time for another TM Cant deside wich one though, or if i will keep my heavy. Been given the chance to buy a sopmod with 8 original mags for a good price. Is wich aftermarket barrel should i look for if i would make it into a Cqb-r. Maybe cut the barrels and just put the flashider further in ? Link to post Share on other sites
hiawatha Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 PTW sold and getting some more recoils Quick question, does the EBB Pmags fit the 416 without or with little modifications ? As they are the same price and they seem to work as good as the stock one (?) i might just get a bunch of those Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I haven't heard of any problems with the Recoil Shock PMags and the HK416D. I think the 'HK416D' OEM magazines are just the regular Recoil Shock STANAGs painted black, so the magwell dimensions are probably identical, and therefore whatever fits the other Recoil Shock AR-15s will fit the HK416D too.

Recoil shock 416 mags are different in dimensions but are very similar to STANAG mags comparison shown in this video(2:45) Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Quick question, does the EBB Pmags fit the 416 without or with little modifications ? Fits fine without mod, I can confirm that first hand, however, if you happen to come across an old batch of next-gen PMAG, then you'd find that they don't always engage the bolt catch, but anything you buy from now on would work flawlessly.

hiawatha Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Thanks guys! Now the last thing i must decide is if im gonna get the recce in tan, or the hk416 :/ Also getting a seond hand sopmod Link to post Share on other sites

hiawatha Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 The 416 really gets some love! =) is it the awesome design and ambi selectors u love so much?? =) Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Well it's just a newer gun, they are increasingly better made, that being said, I recently had access to a socom and a sopmod, the sopmod had completely different finish compared to my 4-5 year old sopmod, so they are improving the products even if the models were old. To be honest though, the 416 will save you money, because it's an HK416 afterall, there aren't too many external parts you could / would change... unlike the AR... I've owned 7 handguards for my stupid sopmod since I first got it... not to mention pistol grip and stocks (if you have front wired) $$$$$ Link to post Share on other sites
druid799 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 What blobface said , I really really don't want to know how much I've spent over the years on different stocks/front ends/pistol grips for my sopmod's and socom ! (Would probably leave me feeling quite ill ! ) Lol But then saying that I've gone and bought this 416 and think "perfect looking gun , don't want to change a thing on it " AND now I'm looking at the different army's around the world to see who uses it to see which load out I want to go with it ! (Find my self being drawn towards a Norwegian loadout ) , can't win ! Link to post Share on other sites

hiawatha Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 If madbull just released a Geissele rail for it this would be alot easier! Theres something with the slimmer design of the standard m4 wich i like over the 416, cant put my finger on it exactly though :/ Actually im also considering the ak-102, since the sopmod and 416 are rather similar. Something appeling with the combo it would make, AR, AK and Scar. Shitload of mags though Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 The HK416 is *suitcase* hot, and you know it Besides, Rail covers make it seem a lot slimmervs.It's only as beefy as you make it Get the HK416, you won't regret it. Link to post Share on other sites
