    THIS ADVERT IS 'UNCOMPLETED' - THIS MEANS THE ADVERTISER HASN'T BUMPED THIS LISTING, BUT IT COULD STILL BE WORTH CONTACTING THEM.

    • For sale
    • Used

    Paid £49 for this last year. In fact I bought two, since I have two hi capas. However I have decided to let one grip go. I have never skirmished my pistols. In fact I have never taken them outside my house. I have become more of a collector than anything else. I have to advertise the grip as "used" since I put it on one of my pistols for a while, but the only mark on it is on the thick end of the pin which holds the hammer spring unit, because this has to be tapped out for a hammer. It doesn't look bad. See picture. Otherwise the grip is as good as new. It comes with safety, trigger unit, hammer spring, spring housing, plunger and pin, and two screws to attach the grip to the side of the frame. The screw to connect the base of the gun to the top of the trigger guard is not included. The Guarder hammer spring is very strong - too strong in my opinion. It stopped the slide setting the hammer. So I replaced it with a TM spring and all was well. I will include the Guarder spring in the sale in case you want to try it. But I advise against it. The grip is very comfortable a perfect fit on all TM hi capas. I didn't need to do any modifications. PLEASE NOTE: Although I have included two pictures of it on a pistol, this is only so you can see how it looks on a hi capa. THIS ADVERT IS FOR THE GRIP ONLY. I AM NOT SELLING THE GUN. With postage it cost me about £55. I am selling it for £25 collected - plus £3 posted.

    Bought recently from Hi Capa Hub. Comes with a pin to attach to the grip. Designed to fit TM Hi Capa grips, but I know they also fit Cow Cow grips, and probably many others. I had been unable to make my mind up over whether to get black or silver. Wasn't sure which colour would best match the configuration of my customised hi capa. When the black one arrived I realised I should have gone for silver. So I now have to buy another magwell, and I am selling this to recoup a little of the money. It has literally been put on a grip for two minutes to check for fit, and then immediately taken off. It is as new and of very good quality. I paid £36 and postage took that up to about 40. I would like £20 plus £3 postage.i

    Regarding lanyard loops you might also consider a low profile black magwell with a hole for attaching a lanyard. This for example. https://hicapahub.co.uk/collections/magwells/products/5ku-airsoft-surgeon-cnc-aluminium-magwell-sti-black There is a hole at the rear which you can see in the second photo. You may not like magwells, but I find the low profile ones improve the feel and looks of a hi capa, especially if you go for black. They also conceal part of that big chunk of plastic at the bottom of the TM mag. Or you could just get a Guarder tactical mag. I imagine they will fit the DOR as well as the other TM hi capas, but you would need to check. Here is one on one of my TM 5.1s: Oops, sorry. The Guarder doesn't have a lanyard loop. My mistake.

    I am putting up pictures of the slide, ejector (didn't realise it was a separate piece until I disassembled it) and outer barrel of my WE Glock. The modification to the outer barrel was done by me. It delays the common problem of the WE barrel snapping after a while. It was bought from KY Airsoft in Hong Kong in full OD green quite a long time ago, and has never been used. I recently decided to go for a two tone look and make the slide black. Following a link from Rocketdogbert, I am sending these parts to Chris at Supreme Coatings. You might think that a WE doesn't merit such expenditure, but for me it does. The thing about almost all pot metal pistols that I hate is the cheap paint which wears off so easily. I don't mind wear on a gun as long as it looks natural. And since I am a collector of pistols who likes to fiddle with them and put them on display, the cost is worth it to me. When I get the parts back I will upload pictures. Sorry for the poor quality of the before pictures posted here. I will try to take better ones when the parts come back.

    Would be for me too.

    That is very nice. Just out of interest how do those M10s shoot?
  7. emilianoksa
    Thanks. AIM TOP is a new one for me.

    Would you take BO2 - part of the original or ONE series - over any of the Edge series? The original oem was E&C which is generally well thought of, and some have said that although the Edge series is easier to change a spring on, the build quality is not as good as the original ONE series guns. Does anyone know who the oem is for the Edge series?

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    Thanks for the tip, but these slides seem to be for TM Glocks only. As for Guarder WE G series slides, I haven't been able to find any reference to them. Guarder appears to cater for TM and KJW owners only.
  11. emilianoksa
    Just a quick one. Do the firms offering a cerakote service, require you to remove the factory finish and polish up the metal before posting it? Or is that generally part of the service?
  12. emilianoksa
    Thanks. I'll see if I can find one.

    The little pin that connects the trigger to the trigger bow. Not sure whether to call it a roll pin or split pin, or are they the same thing? I bought an Airsoft Masterpiece trigger which comes with its own pin. Unfortunately it is a little too thick to go through the holes of the TM trigger bow. I dropped the original TM pin and can't find it, so I am stuck with a roll pin which is a little bit too thick. I have considered putting a round file into the holes on the TM bow to widen them a little. But this may not be a good idea. It would be easy to widen the holes a bit too much. Of course I would buy a couple of TM replacements but they aren't available anywhere. So my other option is to source suitable split pins on the web. Since these pins are tiny and easily lost, and I can't be the first person to have lost one, I wonder if any hi capa owners who have had a similar experience know the size of split pin I should order. I imagine it is m1.5 but I don't know.

    Thanks for the warning.

    Will a Guarder Glock 17 slide fit a WE G17 frame? Will it accommodate the WE outer barrel, blowback unit, and sights? I was going to buy a replacement WE slide but then noticed the Guarder ones aren't much more expensive.
  16. emilianoksa
    Thanks to you both for the replies. I thought about the cerakote solution, but then the price brought me down to earth. It's a lot of money to spend on a pot metal gun. More than the price of the gun itself. I find myself being drawn back to TM black plastic.

    I watched a video of a man who had a TM 4.3 for 6 months. He skirmished with it, probably quite a lot, and kept it in either a kydex or plastic holster - kydex if memory serves me right. The frame, which is painted alloy, had enormous wear (ugly and unnatural to look at) , but the plastic slide looked OK. All metal pistols seem to lose their finish quickly, even if they are not repeatedly holstered and reholstered. I wonder how well the finish on TM all plastic guns wears. Metal guns are clearly painted. What accounts for the black finish on plastic guns? Is the finish only skin deep or are the guns cast from black plastic, which is plastic all the way through. I sold my TM M9 and have regretted it. I have been thinking about replacing it. I don't skirmish much, and so have little need for a holster. Should I buy a metal M9 from KJW, KWA or WE, for the realism or another TM? In fact you have to look very closely at the gen 2 versions of the TM9 to realise it isn't metal. The finish is excellent. I don't mind signs of wear as such. All pistols wear but gbbs with cheap black paint wear in an unnatural way. They generally look bad when the paint comes off and lose realism.

    I always believed the LCT guns had propriety mags.

    The V2 may well be a good gun. But VFC has poor parts support.

    The olive drab is a factory paint, not a diy job. The gun is a WE G17 finished entirely in OD, purchased from Hong Kong. KY Airsoft was the only retailer selling it. Later I began to think it would look better with a black slide. The gun has never been used and is as new. Thanks again for all the replies.
  21. emilianoksa
    Yes, I know you are right. No shortcuts.

    Another quick question if I may. I've been on the Halford's site and it says that their primer can be applied to existing paintwork as well as bare metal. The slide I want to paint is not red, blue or any of the other bright colours that people without a defence have to buy. The gun is a genuine rif, but the slide is painted olive drab. I want to change it to black. The gun has hardly been used and the paintwork is in as new condition. I know that removing the OD paint with solvents and wet and dry is a bigger pain in the arse than actually doing the painting. So is it really necessary? Has anybody on the forum sprayed primer directly onto a painted surface? If so I'd be grateful if you could tell me how it turned out.
  23. emilianoksa
    Thanks for the replies.

    Is there any reason why Halfords car spray paint would be less durable than Krylon? I know that all paint wears off over time, and especially the factory finish that airsoft pistols come with. I am assuming that both Krylon and Halfords will give a better finish than the stock one, provided the surface is properly prepared, primed and sprayed with a bit of skill. I just wondered if the car spray was just as good, if not better, than the Krylon.

    This advert is COMPLETED!

    360 degree rotational polymer paddle holster. There are attachments available for fiting to molle, drop leg, etc. But this advert is for the paddle holster only. Designed to fit WE Glock with the Surefire X300 style torch and its clones, including Nuprol's own. I didn't realise I would no longer be able to skirmish when I bought it, so it has only been checked inside my home with my WE G17 and a cheap Chinese Surefire clone. The Glock 17safety lever is detachable and a smaller safety lever is included for those who use the Glock 19. It has never been worn to play airsoft. In fact it has only been checked for fit and then put away. £17 posted
