You can still buy them from Airsoft World? we’ll have to see how it goes - Asian airsoft companies are famed for ignoring trademarks and license. I haven’t seen anything in the news about it but maybe I’m not looking hard enough.

Those sights are tidy 👌🏽 those the same Proarms sights with the new tritium rods in?

So a while ago I got a GHM9-G and it’s been an absolute laser. bought the MP9 conversion which arrived last night 👌🏽

saw this. i was going to do some videos and how to’s but i struggle for time to film and time to edit. so far is disassembled mine down to springs and screws and reassembled. Daunting at first but it makes sense now.

Same upper, but different lowers. GHM9 Gen2 👌🏽 GHM9 Gen1

G17 Gen 3, 4, 5: Mags inner barrels hop rubbers hop tensioners (ML I-Bar) G17 Gen4, 5: recoil springs hop arm G19 Gen3 and Gen4, G17 Gen5 Hop unit That’s about it. Basically everything else in the Gen5 is different. Even the pins in the hammer mechanism are different.

so got the GHM9 MP9 lower and a few mags. the LD mags are crazy light. I reckon they’re as light if not lighter than my prowin glock mags. it feels like they’ve improved the trigger mechanism and also the bolt travel. It’s generally an improvement. i now have two lowers and a G series bolt that I can keep and interchange 👌🏽

Standard glock 17 barrel length is 97mm.

looks good! Initial price will be the decider for me. The current auto loaders at +£100 are just too expensive for my taste.

(£270+£400)*0.7 = £850 🤔

@Galvatron but it’s the super rare “preditor” edition of the CM16 range. That *must* double its value right? still doesn’t get you to £850 second hand though 😂

Had another one in Elite Midnight

you probably want a gen3 or gen4 frame done? Have a look at Boomarms and ArmsAholics for pre-stippled frames. Having tried a few - IMO ArmsAholic are the best. But boomarms offer a large variety of stippling - for example for a Wilson combat frame boomarms do it. No one else does right now. If you essentially want a Salient or agency arms style job done, I’d recommend ArmsAholics.

A bunch of bits arrived from HK to test. more JDG magwells, cowcow guide rod angry gun RMR mounts. the JDG magwells are frustrating. They look great, but you have to take a dremel to the inside of the Magwell so that it doesn’t compress the Magwell. If you don’t, it grips the Magwell making it hard to remove the magazine. CCT guide rod arrives pre assembled and all you have to do is install the short strokes if you desire. Easy to install. Angry gun rmr mount is solid 👍🏽

That’s about right - the fishing lure tritium vials you get are about 1.6mmx5mm. You can sometimes get watch specification tritium vials from Switzerland which are brighter. They tend to be a lot more expensive but it’s still cheaper than buying pre made tritium sights.

£15 on eBay and a bit of super glue, you can convert those sights in tritium sights 👌🏽 I can’t remember the hole size, I think it’s 1.6mm.

For me, there’s core things I look for at any site (maybe not entirely applicable given I’ve read your post for a second time more thoroughly. Decent/present marshalling. Amicable and honest regular players. Other things I look for are:p Addressing of bottle necks: For example stair cases and long corridors are absolute meat grinders and not fun for anyone who doesn’t have a foothold. Lots of these problems can be solved with intermediate barriers that favour the team who’s disadvantaged. Innovative or humorous games: I've played a few sites with fun or different objective based games. For example, retrieving objectives from a helicopter or having to carry a mannequin from one point to another. You’ve got to be careful not to make it too complex as some of us listening to the brief have the attention span of a goldfish. Layout: sort of inline with the bottleneck point - sites need to have multiple access routes. Having multiple stair cases to an objective gives teams options for tactics. If it’s just one route in and out, it becomes a meat grinder. one of the best sites I’ve played at recently was the Fireplace in Milton Keynes - the site is very small. But set out as a multifaceted kill house, so in all circumstances, the site can be opened up or closed off to funnel players or free up movement.

Firesupport sell E&C glocks - you could drop them and email and ask? They might be able to look and one and give you a definite answer?

Yes - nice one! I forgot to mention pro arms do a good set of tritium sights. detonator do photo-reactive sights as well. They also do a set of Tarran style fibre sights. wiitech do a whole variety of aluminium sights. I bought a pair and I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality given they were so cheap.

Since January, I’ve been doing a lot of research on the TM G17.5 and now have 4 of them. As a result, I’ve been buying and trying new things on the market. I thought it might be useful for a thread with the parts available and what works, what doesn’t. Here are two that I’ve finished. The other two are still waiting on parts. The only upgrade part I’d say is required, is an uprated hammer spring if you’re running green gas. All of my G17.5s light strike when running green gas/propane. The stock slide is carbon polymer so *should* manage fine with green gas. uprated hammer springs: Guarder - not sure Cowcow Tech (CCT)- 120% The CCT full spring set is about £15 from Empire. Pro Arms also do a spring set but doesn’t include hammer spring. Everything else is pretty much optional. I’d also recommend upgrading the piston lid and nozzle return spring. CCT do a piston lid CCT and Proarms do nozzle return springs. Both are good. The Proarms pack is better value for money IMO. Slides that I’m aware of Detonator (all drop in, no modifications required): G17 - standard G17 - boresight solutions G34 - TTI Detonator also do a couple of limited editions specific for the South Korean market… but you’d need a mate in South Korea to buy you one and ship it. Proarms (all drop in apparently - not tried them though): G17 - FDE/black cerakote Wii-tech: G17 - standard - steel or aluminium (both with steel barrel) - G17 - tactical - steel or aluminium (both with threaded steel barrel and 6.03 TBB) note: the aluminium slides were drop in. The steel slide I’ve been sent does not work and Wiitech are looking into why. Mafioso: Full steel G17 kit - required modification to the TM BBU to work. Guarder: Not yet released but the steel slide kit looks promising. 5KU: Aluminium standard slide kit - haven’t tried but heard 5KU quality has improved recently. Outer Barrels: none of the aluminium threaded outer barrels worked with a metal slide and tracer for me. But I’m sure I’ve seen people on Reddit using theirs with a tracer. The aluminium barrels work with the stock slide and a tracer. Detonator threaded outer barrel Proarms threaded outer barrel C&C tac threaded outer barrel w/Roland style comp. Other Accessories: JDG do a very cool magwell. JDG also do magazine extensions for V2 mags. Bomber do a TTI style magwell. Guarder, CCT and Wiitech do aftermarket recoil rods guarder does the serial number delete plate. it sounds like Guarder might be doing steel internals and also a nylon polymer aftermarket grip. MOS sight plates Detonator - version for RMR/SRO. works well, good fit. Bomber - Version for RMR/DPP/ACRO. Can’t comment on the ACRO or DPP but the RMR is a good fit. Angry Gun - Versions for RMR/DPP/ACRO. Can’t comment on the DPP but the ACRO and RMR are good fit C&C Tac - RMR only. haven’t tried but looks similar to the angry gun version 5KU - RMR only. haven’t tried but their quality has got better recently. Revanchist - RMR only. Probably the most disappointing of the lot to be honest. Fits well. But very basic design compared to all the others. Iron Sights detonator: Photo-reactive high sights. tarran style fibre sights. pro arms: tritium high sights. They’re quite expensive… but when have tritium sights been cheap? wiitech: Aluminium low sights aluminium high sights with a couple of different options. Things to avoid: I’d recommend avoiding Gunday. I bought a set of sights and Magwell off them. The sights can’t be fitted without drilling extra holes into the slide. The Magwell requires modification to the frame… if anyone else has feedback, it might be good to feedback here to help people avoid lemons or buyers remorse.

to be fair, I have a cherry Red Cherry G17 gen3, so midnight brown is quite conservative 😂 yeah. You can’t control how quickly they get through the orders.

My latest Marui G17.5. cerakoted in Midnight Bronze by West Laser 👌🏽
