I have worked on several airsoft Glocks, both TM and WE and have never had a problem replacing the hammer unit back into the frame. For some reason the TM Glock 19 has presented me with no end of difficulty. Sometimes the hammer unit goes in, but most of the time it takes ages and only goes in part of the way before catching on something. If I concentrate on getting the rear of the unit to fit by pressing down on it, the front then refuses to go down, however much I rock it backwards and forwards, or up and down to find the sweet spot. It shouldn't be this difficult. I thought it might be the Guarder frame I bought for it, so switched back to the factory one, but it didn't make any difference. What am I doing wrong. Is there a particular angle at which the unit should be inserted?

Is it true that due to its shorter length, the 4.3 is a little more robust than the 5.1, that the 4.3 slide lasts a bit longer and there is a little less wobble on the frame? Or is that just wishful thinking? I have been told that Guarder cast hi capa frames are best avoided due to poor tolerances and fitting problems. But there is such a shortage of 4.3 from other manufacturers, that Guarder is often the only option. Are they worth a gamble?

Where is all the weight on the TM Beretta PX4?
emilianoksa replied to emilianoksa's topic in Gas Guns
Thanks pal. -
The hi capa is heavy because of the metal frame, the 1911 because of the metal grip inserts, and the M9A1 because of the grip inserts and a metal weight on the inner barrel. What accounts for the weight of the PX4? It is one of Marui's heaviest pistols.

Many thanks Tommi.🙂

Quick enquiry for which help would be appreciated Is there a UK skirmish site for which the initials are FGL?

.Bought this a couple of years ago, but never skirmished it. Shot a couple of times at home and at an indoor shooting range. Yes it is a WE Gen3 but I have had several WE Glocks and rate them higher, second best only to TM. Even though it was hardly used and in mint condition I have never liked the thin cheap paint used on most airsoft pistols, and so I decided to have the slide, outer barrel and ejector cerakoted by Supreme Coatings Then I put a RA-tech Maple Leaf complete hop up kit with brass wheel, I key, tight bore inner barrel etc. into the gun. Then, as I have done with nearly all my pistols, I test fired it and then put it on display and forgot about it. Buying guns and not using them much and then eventually selling them is like an illness I have. The cerakoting cost me about £60, and Maple Leaf kit another £40. Can't remember what I paid for the gun but it was about £109 I think. - certainly not less. It looks very nice, hops well and shoots accurately and comes with one leak free unmarked magazine which shows how little use it has had. Never thought I would ever sell it. It is available with a Chinese clone (paid about thirty quid for it from Hong Kong) of the popular X300 pistol light (shown) which looks good, appears to have a decent beam but hasn't really been used, and fits well, and or black SRC pistol case (average price online £16) in as new condition, at extra cost. I'm afraid I can't find the WE owners booklet - it is more of a leaflet actually, and not much use apart from the parts diagram, which can be downloaded for free from several websites. Gun and magazine ONLY in WE box - £110 posted Please note that the above price does not include the gun light or case, which are extra For gun light add £15 For case add £5 Please supply name, postcode and UKARA number if interested.£110

Comes with original box and all its contents which I have never used and one TM 4.3 magazine (it looks better than the 5.1 one). This gun has never been skirmished. It has only been used occasionally for plinking at home. Excellent condition. There are a couple of light marks on the frame (the TM paint is very thin) and rear sight, , and a small mark on the bottom of the slide, invisible unless the slide is disassembled. The gun is fitted with the following custom parts: Gunsmith Bros aluminium Springfield Armory slide in BLACK with black guide rod plug. Elite aluminium 5.1 non tilting outer barrel threaded for silencer or tracer unit in BLACK Guarder black tactical grip with Guarder internals - I found the Guarder hammer spring too strong and so replaced it with the original TM one. The Guarder spring is included separately. Two piece stainless steel black recoil spring guide by Gunsmith Bros Elite Custom 6.02 mm uprated inner barrel AIP uprated loading nozzle AIP 120% uprated recoil spring Uprated Cow Cow Technology hop rubber Black elite airsoft metal trigger Metal hammer protection pad Price drop. £170 posted Please let me have your name, postcode and UKARA number if interested.£170

I was hoping it might be something like that. Thanks for the reply.

There are differences between the hammer units and their internals on these later Marui Glocks and the earlier G17/22/34. On the later guns there is what appears to be an extra spring. It looks like it needs to be tucked in somewhere, but the problem is that it sticks out horizontally from the rear, and there doesn't seem to be anywhere for it to go. I am not confusing this with the spring on the earlier hammer unit, which is also present on the Gen 4 and is bent back and held in a slot of one of the units components. The bottom of this page shows the hammer unit with the spring sticking out. When I removed both my G17 Gen 4 and G19 hammer chassis from their frames they both showed one side of a spring sticking out, just like in the picture below. https://boomarms.com/products/guarder-frame-spring-set-for-marui-g17-gen4-g19-gen4-gbb-series Perhaps somebody could kindly explain to me why this is the case. Why does one side of the spring stick out? I haven't tinkered with the hammer unit at all, and yet the spring is out on both my Glocks.

Detonator do a slide and barrel kit, but it costs a bomb (no pun intended), and you would probably have to import it from the Far East at even more expense. Presumably you would then need some stronger internals - springs, nozzles, recoil rod and spring, etc. and I haven't seen anything available in that line. Best to keep it as is and use it as intended with 144a. Even with a plastic slide and low power gas, It will outclass almost all metal guns with higher velocities. It will last much longer too.

Comes with original box and all its contents which I have never used and one 4.3 magazine because it looks better with the tactical grip. This gun has never been skirmished. I have had it a while and only occasionally shot it in my garden. Any marks on it are due to me handling it a lot, adding and changing parts. The sharp edges on the frame are showing wear because the TM paint is very thin, but I like the look, and there is a mark on the bottom of the slide, invisible unless the slide is disassembled. The gun has hardly been used. I bought it brand new stock, test fired it and then sent it to Mike Cripps at the Elite Shooting Centre. He added custom parts, and I later added more. It comes with the parts listed below: Gunsmith Bros CNC aluminium Staccato slide and recoil spring plug in BLACK. Elite aluminium 5.1 non tilting outer barrel threaded for silencer or tracer unit in SILVER Guarder tactical grip with Guarder internals Elite Custom 6.02 mm uprated inner barrel AIP uprated loading nozzle AIP 120% uprated recoil spring Gunsmith Bros two piece stainless steel spring guide Uprated Cow Cow Technology hop rubber Aluminium black trigger AIP metal hammer protection pad Price drop £160 posted.

Thanks for confirming. And yes I would consider a heavier trigger an improvement.

Thanks to you both. The G17 Gen 4, G19 Gen 3 and 4 have a larger ring to fit over the separate frame pin that TM puts in its latest Glocks. Thanks for the offer Mr. Dogbert, but my spring has been stretched and so I cannot get an accurate measurement off it. I have decided to go along with Mr. Magnon's suggestion re. the Guarder spring kit. I cannot imagine that TM produced different springs for each of their later Glocks which have the additional pin through the frame. They builds to a standard so they are more likely to use the same of the same parts in each model of a pistol.
-
I managed to damage mine when transferring the frame internals of my G19 into a Guarder frame. I have tried just about every online store including those in the Far East to get a replacement - either TM original or custom - with no success. Could anyone tell me if the regular TM trigger bar spring for the G17,22,34 can be stretched to fit the G19, or if the Glock 17 Gen 4 spring from TM or Guarder will do the job? Would fitting a stronger spring (150%) like the Guarder Glock 17 Gen 4 spring, create problems in a stock TM Glock? Would I need to replace other parts eg. the trigger bar itself , with upgraded ones?
-
Thanks Jim. How hard was it to fit?
-
Very nice. Is that a TM 1st generation model or the later one?

Cleaning up the frame pins holding Marui pistols together
emilianoksa replied to emilianoksa's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Thanks. Are they toxic only when wet, harmless when dry? -
When removing and reinstalling pins with a punch to replace parts or to fix things, the black frame pins tend to lose their finish and get shiny at both ends where they are visible. For me they ruin the appearance of the gun. Can anyone suggest the best way to tart them up a bit at each end ie. blacken them, or better still make them go a dull grey. I have been considering the following: Giving them a coat of paint or ink from a permanent Sharpie. Dipping them in white vinegar and water to give them a black oxide coating. Some of my pins are stainless and some not. This should be OK with the non stainless, but I have heard that, given long enough, even the stainless ones will turn a dull grey if left long enough. I would appreciate any advice you could give me.
-
Could somebody please tell me what these are made of: alloy (pot metal) , mild steel, hardened steel or stainless steel. I need to order some replacements and have measured the originals. I have been able to source replacements jof the correct size from a UK engineering firm. I would prefer the stainless steel but wondered if these would cause excessive wear when going through holes in pot metal internal parts, the trigger ring, front chassis and hammer unit. I magine mild steel might be better. Or does it not much matter?
-
Very kind of you. I'll bear that in mind.
-
Thanks. I looked at Impulse but they didn't have the parts I want.

I have fitted three Guarder frames to three Marui Glocks - a 22, 34 and 17 Gen4. Two were fine and one needed quite a bit of sanding. The fourth ( 19 Gen 3) has been an absolute ball ache. The holes were badly aligned and I managed to screw up two out of the three chassis pins. The top of the frame was all over the place. I tried to sand it flat and thought I had suceeded but the slide jammed and it took me an hour to get it off with a plastic mallet, ripping up the base of the outer barrel in the process and losing a slide stop spring I will probably never find. In fairness I should point out that the Marui top pin on the 17 Gen 4 (the one that secures the trigger screw) was also a bugger to drive out. Turns out it had nasty spiral tool marks on it. So it isn't just Guarder. It has become extremely difficult to source Marui parts. Even Eagle Six is not particularly well stocked these days. Even some big Far Eastern shops have shortages. Is it possible to get replacement parts direct from Marui if you are outside Japan? I imagine not. I am considering measuring my buggered up chassis pins with calipers and sourcing dowel pins from a UK engineering firm. Has anyone else ever done this? I imagine the TM ones are made of steel. In future I will stick with TM frames even though the ABS gets shiny in no time. I had been considering a Guarder CNC slide and barrel set but after my experience of their quality control I am now reluctant to risk it.

Should imagine the only difference between the gen3 and gen 4 variants would be the grip patterns, and the larger mag release button and additional backstraps of the gen4. The production dates between the two versions was small by normal marui standards, and both have the new bbu which makes me think the changes are cosmetic only. Compare parts diagrams online. If the gen4 outer barrel has the same parts number as the gen 3 outer barrel they will be the same. Or ask a retailer.

Anyone care to talk me out of a ghk Glock17.
