Going old school. Last build before summer.
Also my my favourite Glock mod. Clean and easy. Glocks was Sexy AF whitout rmrs and lights
Miss the 90ies
G17 gen2 with steel slide.
Built on a TM
I agree entirely.
Not keen on rmrs on any pistol, but certainly not on a Glock.
I also have the Guarder Gen 2 frame, but on my otherwise stock Glock 22.
What brand is your steel slide, and was it an easy fit?

Why do these seem to be permanently out of stock in the UK?
I can't believe there is no market for them.
But then, what do I know?

Thanks for the reply.

They have been available for a while now, and although they have received mixed reviews, most have been positive. At least one owner on another forum was impressed enough to get rid of his WE Glock after buying one. Others have said they are unlikely to have reasonable longevity.
I assume they are forum members who have bought or at least tried one. After all they are so cheap many must have taken a chance on them, and parts are readily available.
I have heard that the ones in the UK have trades too.
Any owners on here who would care to comment?

I'll second that with recommending a Hi Capa.
Can stay standard or go any direction really. They are excellent pistols.
I went a bit silly with my TM Gold Match.. literally not a part original left inside or out 🤪
It is fantastic for CQB.
Very nice build.

Love those Tanaka revolvers.

I wasn't keen on hi capas when I started airsoft, but I have come to regard the TM ones as probably the greatest of all airsoft pistols.
They have the best trigger of any pistol and are the easiest to disassemble and reassemble. There are not that many internal parts to worry about. Metal slides, outer barrels etc are readily available.
The only thing I don't like about them is the grip, but that is easily fixed. I prefer to fit Guarder tactical grips which make the hi capa look more like a regular 1911 and less like a race gun. But if you like the race gun look, you can pick up a Cow Cow grip for not much more than twenty quid, and buy a nice magwell to compliment it.
I have had loads of pistols over the years, and I love Glocks, but the hi capa has been the most reliable and the best performing. The FNX 45 was pretty good but I never got used to the look of it.

The Nuprol, and Amomax holsters were made to fit the TM Glock 17 Gen 3 which is copied by the WE Glock 17, so they will fit. I know from personal experience. But some don't like the style.

Other options would be adjustable hard holsters from Amomax and Swiss Arms.

Well had a surprise in the post ( well chucked in the garden..)
I'm not going to complain.
Guarder?
Where did you get it?

Just lots of negative views on other forums and some on youtube, because they are cast and not cnc. The Knuckles hi capa bloke for example advises people not to buy them.
But then forums are often full of negative views on products.
Nice to hear some positive ones on here.
Thanks to you all. I'll probably give them a try.

Thanks. Good to know.
What outer barrel did you use in it?

I have gone for the likes of Gunsmith Bros/Airsoft Masterpiece metal slides for hi capas in the past.
There are so many warnings against buying Guarder ones because of the fitting issues that I have never considered them. And then there is the business of using the same manufacturer for both the outer barrel and the slide, and Guarder tends to use tilting steel outer barrels. But maybe a non tilting barrel from another maker would actually work with their slides.
The problem is that, apart from the ones with race gun cut outs, there are very few 4.3 metal slides on the market.
The one I like the look of most is actually a Guarder one, and there is rarely a shortage of Guarder stuff. Some retailers ask as much or more for them as they would for a premium cnc slide, but in the Far East they are cheap.
The one I like is this:
https://boomarms.com/products/guarder-aluminum-slide-for-marui-hi-capa-4-3-springfield-dual-ver
Of course with postage and tax it will work out a good deal more expensive.
Has anyone ever had a good experience with a Guarder hi capa slide.

Thank you very much.

Is the silver finish on the Dual Stainless frame as fragile as the silvery grey finish on the 5.1 Stainless.
Or does it come off just as easily?
I never skirmish my pistols or keep them in holsters, so how well would the Dual Stainless stand up. I want it so that when they become available again I can replace the TM plastic slide with a silver metal one.
If it scratches easily I would probably be better off sending the ordinary black frame on my standard 4.3 for cerakoting.

Are the Tokyo Marui Glock 17 nozzle and piston head a straight fit into a Guarder bbu?

Boomarms MOS plate and SRO clone freshly installed to the TM G17 Gen5
Nice.
Is that a replacement plate only, or a completely new slide?

I have a complete set of internals for the TM Glock 19 Gen 3.
It's a long embarrassing story but I tried to put the TM frame internals into a Guarder frame. I have done this before with Guarder Glock 17 Gen 2 and 4 frames and encountered little or no difficulty. However the Glock 19 frame was anything but a straight fit. When I finally got them in, the slide stuck and I had to hammer it off. I tried again - first removing material from the inside of the frame and trying the slide again - and again and again and again, finally damaging the Guarder frame and breaking the TM slide. In the end I gave up, put the parts in a box and sold the magazine.
So what I have now is a complete set of internal parts including bbu, outer and inner barrel, front and rear sights etc - everything except a slide, frame and magazine. I still have the original Marui frame which has a slight mark next to one of the assembly pin holes that you would probably not notice.
Now, as I understand it, I can sell the parts without requiring a defence of the buyer, because they are only parts and not a rif. However I am thinking that it might be best not to include the TM frame, in case the authorities regard it as a part too far. I mean if a buyer could get the gun to work, he would only need a slide to have a full pistol.
So forget the frame. Can I sell all the parts together to anyone whether they have a defence, or not, or should I sell them in smaller batches? It's no big either way for me but they are no use to me and so I thought somebody else might be able to make use of them for a small sum. If it
I recently received a metal hi capa slide from Hong Kong which was delayed in customs. They asked me to complete a customs declaration form for firearms and threatened to charge me for storage. I wrote back to them explaining that I was importing a small metal part (an empty aluminium shell about 15cm long, 2cm wide and weighing about 80 grams) to replace a plastic part on an airsoft pistol already owned and had bought in England and that it was all perfectly legal. Eventually they relented and released the item on payment of 41 quid.
This experience has made me a little nervous about what the law is, and just how well the civil servants know it.

Thanks for the tip.
I will look into the nineball option.

That's right.
I know they make non tilting barrels for hi capas but I didn't realise they made them for other pistols. And as you say the non tilting barrels work because they sit lower in the action and the slide makes little or no contact with them.
I know this is in Spanish but the bloke in the video below like the appearance of the Guarder Sig P226 kit but encountered lots of different problems with the fitting which he could not resolve eg. he ended up using the plastic TM outer barrel and ditching the Guarder steel one. He liked the look of the kit but would never recommend it to anyone. He says it takes a lot of work and still doesn't function properly.

Frankly I do not like tilting steel outer barrels on gbb pistols.
If I wanted to put a Guarder (or other) aluminium slide on a TM Glock would I have to have a metal outer barrel, or could I continue to use the Marui plastic one?. My pistols don't get any hard use. I never skirmish them.
I believe KWA use plastic outer barrels on their guns even though the slides are metal, so it must be feasible.
