    I bought an IKEA Uppspel glass door cabinet with powder coated metal pegboard back to display one or two pistols: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/uppspel-glass-door-cabinet-dark-grey-90507636/ The problem is that it is a black/dark grey pegboard, and I can hardly see my black pistols when they are mounted and covered by the glass doors. So I have decided to spray it light grey or even white. Would I be better using the Krylon Colour Max primer followed by Colour Max white, or would the one coat Fusion be a better alternative? It won't be like spraying a gun, just a metal sheet which will not suffer from wear from friction. My guns are all Maruis, and I was wondering if they might be damaged over time by any substance in the paint that, even after it had dried, would affect the the plastic frames and slides. I have just noticed that the Krylon Colour Max also appears to be both a paint and primer. Is it really a one coat solution like the Fusion? Or would I be better steering clear of Krylon and getting an alternative brand?

    Thanks again.

    Thanks. Would the plastic slide be able to run on a metal lower?

    Can anyone tell me if the TM P226R looks more plasticky than the later E2, or are they about the same.

    Looking forward to hearing how you get on.

    Thanks for the replies. Yes, for occasional use at home or on an airsoft range only. I never skirmish pistols. I was aware of the shortcomings of the early Beretta 92s, but it is good to hear that people are still happy with the performance of other Maruis with the smaller bbu volume.

    I know there have been improvements to the later Marui pistols, but are there any of the older guns that are still worth buying? I have been thinking about picking up a Sig, but I imagine most people would advise me to buy an FNX45, Glock Gen 4, PX4, HK USP, Springfield XDM etc. instead. Problem is I don't like the appearance of some of these brands. I like the look of the old Sig.

    Thanks for the reply. What you say makes sense. And thanks to you too, Lozart.

    If I wanted to give an airsoft pistol to one of my children - all of whom are middle aged adults by the way - none of whom have ever skirmished, would this be completely legal? I emphasise this would be a gift and not a sale. In the unlikely event that the gun eventually ended up in the hands of somebody unkown to me, who used it irresponsibly eg. showed it in public, would I as the original owner be liable?

    Chinese of course, but their rifles are said to be pretty good. They are said to be TM clones but with a different bearing - triangular rather than circular. There are several different models, all competitively priced, and they appear to come with trades. I have heard that some of their internal parts are made of steel. Can anyone comment on the quality/value of these pistols?. Where would you place them on a scale with WE at the top and Raven at the bottom?

    Silicone oil for O rings and plastic on plastic or plastic on metal slides and frames. Teflon grease or oil for metal on metal. I use Superlube Synthetic with PTFE to grease slide and rails. If it migrates it will not damage or weaken plastic parts. Dry cloth or cotton buds for muck, but when the gun gets very dirty you can use Isopropyl 99% alcohol, which shifts grease and crud effectively and evaporates completely leaving no residue or smell. Isopropyl alcohol is also the go to for inner barrels. It's the only thing you should put down an inner barrel, apart from a dry piece of cloth or tissue to pull out the dirt.

    Surprise to me. I didn't know KJ Works did an M9 with a polymer slide.
  14. emilianoksa
    Are those rubber prop guns lightweight or do they have a bit of heft?

    Never skirmished. Test fired a couple of times only in my house and garden. Only used with Abbey 144a. A couple of tiny marks on the magazine (unavoidable) but apart from that the gun looks as new. Even the box looks new. Essentially this is the same pistol as the TM Glock 22, but with a longer slide and outer barrel, a different rear sight and extended slide lock. As such it has a couple of improvements over the Glock 17 - metal insert in mag release, metal insert to protect plastic slide and thicker trigger bar. I bought a Guarder nylon fibre Gen 2 frame for it, but had to take a little material off the base of the grip so the magazine would seat fully. Unfortunately I took off a little bit too much at the front, and so bought a Guarder nylon magwell to cover it. This frame from Guarder will also fit both the TM Glock 17 Gen 3 and 22, but not the Gen 4. I then decided to put the internals back into the original Marui frame, because it is Gen 3 and has a rail, unlike the Gen 2. The magwell also fits the Marui frame. The Gen 2 frame comes with its own screws and a Guarder Gen 2 serial number plate - not shown. Pictures show the gun in various configurations - in Gen 2 and 3 frames and with and without magwell. I'm selling it boxed in its original Gen 3 frame, with all accessories, one magazine, an additional Gen 2 frame and a magwell. Nice gun but I have too many Glocks and one needs to go. If interested please let me have your name, postcode and UKARA number.

    Very stylish. Is that the Proforce one licensed by Sig.

    Marui plastic externals vary from gun to gun. Some look more plasticky than others, but on the best the finish is outstanding. And you don't need to worry about paint flaking off like it does on most metal pistols. Of course cnc aluminium externals are a different thing from the painted pot metal mass produced guns, but you get what you pay for.

    Thanks for the reply. Looks great.

    I am interested in gold outer barrels for pistols, but I have heard the finish on them is more fragile than it is with other colours. I don't know if it makes any difference whether the barrel has been or anodised. But I've heard that even the gold barrel on the very expensive Detonator kit for the HK45 wears off quickly. Is this true? Does anybody have any experience of Airsoft Masterpiece gold outer barrels for hi capas?
  21. emilianoksa
    I've read that custom metal outer barrel and slide for TM pistols should come from the same manufacturer, or they may not work well together. This makes sense with tilting barrels. However many hi capa metal outer barrels are fixed. Since they don't move, does this mean they can more easily be matched with custom slides from other makers.
  22. emilianoksa
    Well I finally decided to get one and find out for myself. And I am very glad I did. Yes there is very little rattle on the 4.3 compared to the 5.1. The gun is also much better balanced. In fact I think it is the best of the hi capa variants.

    I've discovered that the latest TM Glocks have two springs in the base of the hammer unit instead of one. And they can be bugger to reassemble.
  24. emilianoksa
    That is true of all TM pistols. But the PX4 is still considerably heavier than a TM Glock, Sig, HK or M&P.
  25. emilianoksa
    Thanks for the reply. No. I've tried that as well.
