leadly's TM Hi Capa 4.3 build

[Steveocee]

Maybe 2 mags per fill if you're lucky? Should manage that if you don't rapid fire them.

Pistol reloads are so wholesome. I'm heading up to Halo Mill soon and plan to run only gas.

 

[leadly]

Well a short detour on the way home from work last night to see Kyle from Hi Capa Hub.

It's all @Steveocee fault!

Chucking in a red trigger to make it look less like I haven't got my UKARA yet! ?

Waiting for some.3D printed bits to come in. Hopefully a nice alternate slide for skirmishing and a magwell in black!

Looking good! I’m getting increasingly jealous of you lot… got to work at 8 just in case the postie was early, he was not

 

[Steveocee]

Red looks so clean. I could literally justify one of these slides in each colour.

 

[Alimcd]

I heard one of you two had something similar…

I honestly didn't think it'd fit when I tested it last night! I'm sure a dab of oil and some back and forth action will sort it!

Mate, that's well fucking nice!!

What did you infill with? Steve used nail polish, I was going to use my kids acrylic pens!

This stuff is magic. It was recommended by one of the guys on here, Alex Hill?

I need to clean off the excess and brighten the slide back up but it’s nearly done 

 

[leadly]

Finally got the knack for it after a few messy failed attempts with the acrylic pen!

Just need to go round the edges with some nail polish remover on a cotton bud to tidy it up a bit!

I see you went for the same option as me on rear site. Annoying little noggin isn't it? Dremel got mine off in 5 mins lol

 

[Alimcd]

@Steveocee Your image isn’t loading for me for whatever reason. What did you dremel?

Underside of the AIP rear sight. I've heard there's a video coming out at 7pm tonight that shows you exactly where ?

Just got back home and now all I can see if the fact my rear sight is squewiff

 

[Alimcd]

Gonna have to take care of that tomorrow.

May also have something special on the way that I hop will fit in the AIP sights

Sounds interesting ?

 

[Alimcd]

Bah, I bought ones that were WAY too short. Found a retailer that sells Tritium Vials for fishing, thought gold sights would look pretty cool on the gold capa.

So far, fairly unimpressed, ignoring the length issue the 2mm dia vials are very dark

 

[Alimcd]

Summary, the 2mm vials aren’t worth the effort. I’ve got some yellow FO rods on the way to match the slide. 
 

Glowing sights would have been cool, but it wasn’t to be. Shame as you can get them in Purple, blue, green, red etc to match your slide

Glow in the dark 3D print filament works for glowing sights but meh.... it's much of a muchness. Takes away from the practicality.

Or get fire support to fit some tritium ones for you
