[I am going to regret asking but... Vorsk parts VM9 pistol]

You could try to find the equivalent WE part on KYAirsoft.  See how similar it is.

Welcome ✋

I think it may be better/easier to find a rubber replica.

Bought at RIF from them in 2019.

Arrived fine

You misunderstand me. I used to use 1,1,1, Trichloroethane to clean stuff in an ultrasonic bath when I was an apprentice. Before a) it was banned or b) airsoft was invented. Also - you really shouldn't used Trich in an ultrasonic cleaner, it's flashpoint is really quite low!

Ah gotcha 👍

We used to use it in an ultrasonic cleaning bath. 😟

Interesting, I wouldn't have thought it to be that effective to clean inside. Assuming the orientation of the barrel to be flat in the bath

Yeah, my PTS mags won't fit but I have a shorty and full size STANAG that are fine.  Not sure of the make but I think they're CYMA

[Hello]

Welcome ✋

 

Should still be some interesting things to read around here somewhere 😃

 

 

[Everyone we want a TM HiPower;]

Just fondling mine again 😜 and it does increase the weight quite a bit but at the grip of course.

In case you want to compare with other pistols its 813g with mag (no BB's which would add weight 🤣)

(Real steel is only 1kg)

BTW,  P99 is now fixed 😃

 

[CSI XR-5 futuregun AEG]

Yeah it will take most AEG STANAGs

I handled the WE hi-power for the first time at the site shop on Saturday. Prior to this, I was considering taking the plunge, and despite all the warnings of it's mediocre functionality, well, just owning one. But after handling it, just no. Flimsy lightweight thing that feels like it's made out of metal barely thicker than a heavy duty roasting foil.

Was there a mag in?

Its a bit more weighty with a mag but yeah, I wish we could get a decent one.

My XR-5 is awesome! 😁👍

Mind you it was tweaked by the previous owner who was a tech. 😉

Hello airsoft friends!  Are these good RIFs to buy to win at airsoftwars battle maps?

 

 

The pistol has 1.3 jewels, just like a watch, and the advanced future riflegun has pure polymer bushings in its bearings so should run very smoothelely!

Maybe 'COMPLETED' confuses some people 🤷‍♀️

OT: But Im still getting silly questions and low ball offers for items that are clearly marked as “completed”

There is an option to 'Hide' (delete) completed adverts.

Depends if you want to keep them to remind you of the sale details.

What's a race gun???

A gun that only shoots certain people 😄

[Pistol recommendations]

I'd say the 1911 is the least suitable for actual games due to the mags reduced gas and BB capacity.

[Inner barrel rotates within hop unit]

I'd try the PTFE tape first.

 

 

[Inner Barrel Cleaning.]

Multiple uses 🤣

 

Note: "External use only" so no good for cleaning inner barrels 😄

 

 

[Inner Barrel Cleaning.]

Yeah, Isopropyl and Isopropanol are the same chemically just different names.

https://www.chemicals.co.uk/blog/isopropanol-same-as-isopropyl-alcohol#:~:text=Isopropanol is also called isopropyl,between isopropanol and isopropyl alcohol.

 

They'll both get you equally high 🤣

 

 

[Inner Barrel Cleaning.]

Snap 😄

[Inner Barrel Cleaning.]

No

Bit of thin cloth with Isopropyl and twist as it goes through slowly.

Stop when it gets to hop (slight resistance)

Clean hop end with Q-tip 

 

I only take the barrel apart when I polish the inside (which I've done on a couple of rifles and a few pistols)

...I didn't push my luck and buy the MK3...

Did you get the P35?

Its exactly the same design as the MK3

 

Personally I like KJWorks and wish they would produce a Hi-Power MK3

[Everyone we want a TM HiPower;]

The slide is fine but the hop adjustment is incredibly basic and annoying to adjust. (Not a deal breaker as at least it stays when set)

The biggest problem with the current WE version is the valve knocker design that will snap VERY easily when a magazine is inserted (Uncocked).

Most pistols have a hinged knocker that folds up when a mag is inserted.

 

Make sure to rack the slide to cock the hammer (and striker) BEFORE you insert a mag!

 

 

[Everyone we want a TM HiPower;]

All I did was rack the slide and not overly forcefully.  That part is quite thin and made of really poor quality pot metal.  (afterwards I broke a part of it on purpose to see how strong it was)

I've already bought a replacement from KYAirsoft.  (Postage was more expensive than the part of course)

I also plan on strengthening it a bit with some JBWeld

 

Maybe next time I'll make a post to see if anyone else needs parts and we can put them all together into one order 😉

Sorry to hear.  I hope you left appropriate feedback
