Earlier in the week Mike and I traded AEGs, I gave him my Echo 1 416 and he passed me his Echo 1 M14 SOCOM.  It was a good trade and both parties got exactly what they were looking for. 🙂  I ordered a few parts from eHobby Asia on Wednesday and got them today, damn that was really fast!  Anyway most of the parts were internal upgrades since Echo 1 QC is err questionable but anyway I was able to install almost everything aside from the M14 gears.  Seems like Echo 1 or whomever it sources for M14s use version 2/3 gears instead of version 7 (ver 7 spur gear is smaller) so I wasn’t able to install those but everything else has been pretty much replaced internally.

I’d like to change the outer barrel assembly from SOCOM to full length but that can come later.  Hmm I’ll probably have to get a new Prometheus inner barrel too but meh I can worry about that then. 😉 Anyway here’s a quick picture the rifle, I think the Aimpoint will be more useful than a rifle scope considering the engagement distances in airsoft.  If I play spotter/sniper I always have the CA M24.  Next up a sweet paint job…
