I have had one of these in the past. It consisted of the hop casing, Maple Leaf rubber, metal dial, hop lever, I key and inner barrel. Now I am considering buying another. Can I forget the hop casing this time, and just get the inner barrel, rubber, dial,hop lever and I key. Will everything fit into the WE hop casing? I ask because I seem to remember the brass coloured RA tech hop casing was a bit longer than the WE one.

Never skirmished. Test fired only indoors to check that it functioned. Comes with Guarder nylon fibre Gen 2 frame and serial tag fitted. Boxed with all TM accessories. The Glock 22 is an improved version of the TM G17. It is essentially the same but has a metal insert in the slide to protect it, and a metal insert in the magazine release. It does not have the bigger bbu of the most recent Marui Glocks. However if you want to put an aluminium slide on it, you have more choice than with the Gen 4 version at present. The Gen 2 frame is without rails and finger grooves and has always been my favourite. The Guarder magwell is made of nylon, looks good and is easily removed. I think it cost me the best part of twenty quid. The original TM frame and serial tag are also included. The Guarder frame cost 40+ pounds and is much nicer than the TM ABS one. Transforms the look of the gun. I don't mind the Marui plastic slide, but I don't like the plastic finish on their Glocks at all. Looks great. As new. Tested with 144a gas only. If interested please let me have your name, postcode and UKARA number.£110

Black Vintage Infinity hi capa slide
emilianoksa replied to emilianoksa's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Thanks for the reply. Fair enough. However when I browse the web, which is all I have to go on, many do not seem to be aware of the improvement in Guarder slides - except for the CNC offerings and the steel slides which are a lot more expensive. I am no expert but I have been able to fit Gunsmith Bros and Prohandgun slides to hicapas in the past, and I know how to use wet and dry and a file. So maybe I should give it a go. Some of these Guarder slides go for not much more than fifty quid in Hong Kong. I would appreciate your comments on whether other brand outer barrels would fit a Guarder slide. -
I I have been looking for one of these for a long time, and Airsoft Masterpiece may or may not do another run of them - one day. In the meantime Guarder appears to be the only alternative. Not only is one advised to steer clear of them, but they are overpriced in the UK - almost as much as CNC offerings from other manufacturers. And the Guarder outer barrels are made of steel which I regard as neither necessary or advisable for use with an aluminium slide. Maybe a non tilting aluminium outer barrel from AM or Gunsmith Bros would work with a Guarder slide, but I don't know. In any case getting a Guarder slide that will fit a Marui frame with minimum work or take a TM bbu seems to be entirely a matter of luck. Should I take the risk or just live with my disappointment?

Sorry. Double post.

Thanks for the information.
-
Thanks for the replies.

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?

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. https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/nuprol-eu-series-pistol-retention-paddle-holster https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amomax-Retention-Holster-Black-Airsoft/dp/B07W14HYXY Other options would be adjustable hard holsters from Amomax and Swiss Arms. https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/amomax-per-fit-universal-holster-for-80-pistols?fv=17021&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiYOxBhC5ARIsAIvdH51Tna6rYugHmggHZZBe7RNEbY5j-Nh_3MjoVMg0GDivXE0ohqMq9SAaAkSJEALw_wcB https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/swiss-arms-adaptx-level-3-adaptable-holster

The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Guarder? Where did you get it? -

Hi Capa are my favourite pistols, and I've had, and still have several. I fancied one in a silver finish for a change and purchased this two weeks ago. Great gun as they all are but I have discovered that silver isn't really for me. I put 144a gas in the mag to test it, and apart from that, haven't touched it at all. Never opened any of the usual accessories or even opened the booklet. It is as I received it. With postage the gun cost me about 154 pounds. I am selling for 100 pounds posted. With the cost of postage and Paypal fees I will be getting about 85 pounds out of the deal. If you are interested please let me have your current UKARA number, name and postcode.£100

I thought oil based lubricants were not recommended for airsoft guns. Or is that another myth?
-
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.
