PARAIceman Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 What is the proper method for releasing the spring tension after firing the gun? I have looked at the vague picture on the Star website, and I have tried sticking a small allen wrench in that hole, but nothing happens. Am I supposed to turn it a certain way, and will there be any noise or anything so I know it worked? Also, has anyone figured out how to mount a sling on the SOPMOD?

No Mercy Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) do NOT use that I have heard that it will strip your gears, from the previous owner of the gun, who shipped it to me borken (stripped spur) He said he used it all the time Try to just shoot 3 shots off (single) before you put it down and to mount a sling, get some para cord and tie a ring somwere in the plastic cover near the front to the rear, tie another ring around one of the metal holes of the cheek rest thats how i did it Edited May 21, 2006 by No Mercy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hk_chick Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) i never had any problem using the hole for releasing the spring tension. push the allen key into the hole, and wiggle the end towards the rear of the gun.. you hear a sort of whooshing noise.. and its done.. dont poke the allen key in to far. edit: the above wisdom actually comes via situpking - he just couldn't be arsed to log me out & log himself in!

zulu342 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) Does anyone know where I can get spare parts for this gun? The part that holds the outer barrel in place (the piece you need to remove to insert the battery) was damaged during shipping. The hole that the screw goes in is cracked so the screw no longer tightens. Here's a picture of this problem: http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g294/weaselgx/DSC01992.jpg The barrel wobbles like crazy now since this part is loose. This looks like a pretty bad design since all the weight of the barrel is placed on this one small screw. Any suggestions? Thanks!

IronWolf Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Does anyone know where I could get a low capacity or mid capacity magazine for the SOPMOD? I have so far only seen high capacity ones for sale. I would like to get a real capacity mag or another 90 round mag like the one that came with the gun. Are you guys familiar with either of these magazines? http://www.tokyo-model.com.hk/trade/productview/1965 http://www.tokyo-model.com.hk/trade/productview/1966 They look identical to the Star 90 round mag and are different from the G&G and TM mags which look different than the Star. Do you think either of those mags would work? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think they are for the M14 made by Tim Chan for Airsoft Club, they've been around for quite a bit longer then the Star m14 SOPMOD so i'd doubt they would fit. Their is a member on these forums called OikOik , he has owned both guns so i'm sure he could tell you if they are interchangable with one another , hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zulu342 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) So I've contacted almost every large airsoft store and no one has any spare parts for the Star M14 SOPMOD even though many have made multiple requests to Star for parts that will break on the gun. Their requests to Star, as well as my requests, are largely ignored. Haven't heard a single thing back from Star. Great customer service! So if anything breaks on your $700 gun, you're on your own. This is the part that I need: Here's the damage on mine: (Cracked hole mount) So with this *suitcasey* customer service I've received from Star (no response to anyone), I don't recommend their products.

DualWieldNate Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Unlucky mate, I just lost the screw that goes in there and am trying to find one to fit.... Good luck in your search mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I ended up just drill and re tapping it, further up Also I own BOTH the Airsoft Club M14 and Sopmod, Mags do interchange Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where did you get your AC mags from? I have thus far only seen them on that one site I posted earlier, do you know of anywhere else to get them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
