you cannot mount a silencer to a SOCOM M14 because the end of the barrel is not threaded.
there are many upgrades you can do to your gun: springs, tightbores, gears, motors, piston heads, cylinder heads, spring guides, hop-up, battery, etc.....it all depends on what you want to achieve and how much money you want to spend. M14's are more expensive to upgrade generally than other guns.
and yes, we ship virtually anywhere in the world.

That really sucks about the silencer. That was what I really wanted to get. Oh, well. Now, Actually I just ordered the gun yesterday, but wanted to know what I could do to upgrade it. Now, what would you recommend I do to the gun, and how much would it cost?(And what it does) Thanks.

Now, what would you recommend I do to the gun, and how much would it cost?(And what it does) Thanks. you should've ordered a full length M14 if you wanted to put a silencer on it. as far as upgrades, cost depends on what result you want. how hard do you want the gun to shoot? how much money do you have to spend? one of the very first things you're going to want to do, is get rid of the crappy battery and charger that comes with the gun, and get a high-grade battery and charger to power it. a good quality battery makes a huge difference in gun performance. quite frankly, i'm very confused as to why you bought that gun. why would you buy a cheap chinese gun, and then want to spend money upgrading it to make it better when you could've just bought a brand-name gun to begin with? if you had spent $255 on a G&G M14, you would have a very high quality gun, already upgraded from the factory, with nice internal parts, and other bonuses like a 6.035mm tightbore barrel already installed. plus you'd have a longer warranty too. instead, you spent maybe $100 less for an Echo 1, and it will cost you far more than that $100 price difference in order to upgrade it. heck, just a tightbore barrel is going to cost you $50, and improved internals are going to be lots more. and you have to factor in labor costs for doing all the work, when if you had bought the G&G, you wouldn't have to worry about any of that.

(Reason that I got the Socom version over the regular one was because I wanted a shorter gun.) Wow, I didn't know any of that. I am new to air soft. I looked around on web sites and the gun got a good reviews, so I thought it be ok. Now, that I know that. Next time I buy a gun I will look for higher quality gun.(I don't do much of competitions. I play with my friends mostly.) Well, Thanks for the help.
