Hi! Selling some leftover 1911/hi-capa parts from previous project builds to make some funds, so I can buy more excess parts to stockpile🙃. All parts are in new-to-good condition, and aiming to sell them ~60% MSRP. Price includes Paypal fees, and postage is an additional £4 (I will cover Royal Mail Tracked 48 for any purchases over £40). Please refer to the attached photos and the details below. If you have any questions please feel free to shoot me a message! I'll also try to keep the list updated as parts sell or new parts come up. Navidrex Paper Micarta Faux Ivory Grips - £45 Custom order from manufacturer using high-end paper micarta. Texture is smooth with a slight off-white color to mimic ivory/bone grips. Fits any real-steel spec 1911 frames such as Marui 1911/MEU Nineball Steel Thread Protector - £8 Supports 14mm Negative (CCW threading) outer barrels Altamont Cocobolo Grips for 1911 - £45 Fits real-steel spec 1911 frames (ie. Tokyo Marui frames) DP Fiber Optic Front Sight for Hi-capa - £10 * Comes with red 2mm installed, and an extra green 2mm replacement + 2mm Cowcow green & red fibers. CNC aluminum construction. The 2mm fiber is absolutely massive as you can see in the pics. JLP Booster Front Sight for 1911 - £14 * Comes with red 1.5mm installed, and extra green 1.5 mm replacement. CNC steel construction. The open-top style design allows for a really bright sight picture. Airsoft Masterpiece Aluminum Heine Rear Sight - £35 Feet are polished to make fitting smoother without scratching the dovetail on the frame. Airsoft Masterpiece Trigger Bow for 1911 (x1) - £20 EA (one sold, one left) Much thicker construction than the Guarder options, it has less flex than the lighter aftermarket parts. One ring has polished sides for smoother action. Cowcow Lightweight Chassis Replacement for 1911 - £10 New and unused. Guarder Stainless Spring Plug - £20 Bomber 10-8 Performance CNC Aluminum Flat Trigger - £8 Unique flat-face design with overtravel screw hidden on the inside for a truly flat trigger.

Right side grip has a cutout to support hi-capa style ambi safeties. Hi-capa bushing conversion kit (stainless) - £50 SOLD Allows you to use a bushing barrel instead of the bull-barrel on 5.1 Hi-capa's (the Hi-capa 5.1 slide is slightly shorter than the 1911).

Hello, Up for sale is a steel slide and parts set from Guarder for the TM Gen 3 G19. Included in the sale is: Guarder G19 gen 3 CNC steel slide Guarder steel dummy ejector (plunger has been polished to look stainless, and ejector has been permanently secured with green loctite) Guarder G19 gen 3 CNC steel outer barrel Guarder G19 gen 3 steel luminous 3-dot night sights Guarder G19 steel slide-stop Guarder G19 polymer backplate The original finish has been carded off as I wanted to mimic the now discontinued shiny tenifer finish on older Glocks and smoothed out the matte-black guarder finish with a brass brush and polish. It's more of a shiny gunmetal grey vs. the original matte black now, I've attached some assembled examples and comparisons with a brand-new Guarder steel slide G34 so you can get a sense of the difference in colour to the Guarder finish from the factory. There is minimal wear-and-tear from use as it was a collection piece and never used in a game. There is some wear from break-in and holster wear near the muzzle, but as you can see from the usual wear points like the barrel and inside of the slide it is still in fairly new condition. If I had to estimate it would be somewhere around 10~20 mags total ran through the gun overall. Otherwise it was oiled well and kept in storage. The kick from the heavy slide and the steel-on-steel noise from racking the slide is incomparable to its plastic or aluminum counterparts. I really enjoyed this build but I've since purchased a different slide I want to try on my g19 so letting this go at a discount so that other members can enjoy an affordable steel Glock build. Selling for £180 including Paypal fees and Royal mail tracked 48. Please feel free to shoot me a DM if you have any questions and I'll get back to you asap. Thanks£170

Can't decide which I like better - competition sights or an RMR mount. Which do you guys prefer? P.S. Anyone have any good recommendations for a holster (repro safariland model etc.) that would fit an RMR mounted like this plus an X300?

Hi, Selling my coveted grail pistol as I need to free up some funds It is a TM MEU based 1911 fully upgraded with a rare, custom-order guarder kit along with fully steel/stainless external parts and upgraded internals. It took a lot of headache (and money) to get it spec'd out exactly like a RS Springfield Professional 1911, sans the magwell which no company was producing a steel option. Hopefully if you're into 1911's you would appreciate this is the original 1911 model that passed the FBI HRT trials, and also was the base for the well known MEU pistol's late variants. Even if you don't care about that stuff, it's a beautifully kitted out pistol nonetheless, and as far as I know the only one in the airsoft world that sports the original Professional look. Really sad to let this one go but hopefully it can find someone who can also appreciate the true value of it ( or anyways is more financially comfortable than I am at the moment ). The gun comes with the pistol itself and 2 magazines. If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll get back to you asap. Price is £450 - includes PayPal fees and postage As always, I've listed the full list of upgrades below - split into upper and lower assembly for convenience. Upper TM MEU base gun Guarder custom order aluminum kit for MEU (S.A. Pro model) Guarder Loading nozzle & valve Guarder lightweight nozzle housing Airsoft Masterpiece stainless barrel bushing Guarder steel front and rear sights Nineball vsr-10 purple hop rubber Guarder steel spring plug Guarder steel slide stop reinforcement (internal) Guarder steel dummy firing pin and pad Guarder stainless recoil spring guide Nineball dyna piston head Nineball 6.00 power barrel (112.5mm) Guarder steel outer barrel & chamber (nowlin .45 marking) AIP CNC brass hop adjusting wheel for hi capa Lower Guarder steel mainspring housing for MEU (black) Nova Springfield ambi thumb safety (stainless, Cerakoted graphite black) Navidrex mahogany grips (custom order, square magwell cut and finished with tung oil) Nova 3 hole CNC aluminum trigger for MEU Guarder stainless trigger bow Guarder stainless sear spring Guarder steel hammer for MEU black Guarder steel hammer strut WIITECH CNC steel mainspring plunger AIP CNC steel hammer sear AIP stainless firing pin lock Cowcow IP1 stainless disconnector Guarder steel valve knocker Guarder steel hammer & sear pins Guarder steel grip safety (black) Guarder steel magazine release button Guarder steel slide stop (black) Guarder stainless plunger tube (black) Guarder stainless plunger pins (black) Guarder steel grip screw (black, finish is worn) Laylax (nineball) "AERO" purple gas routes for mag (x2) 2x TM MEU magazines£450

Loving the shooters belt from Deadly Customs! Got a lot of recommendations from the forum members here and went ahead with this option a few months ago. The holster and pouches are for my Glock but too lazy to get it out of storage for pics - so just shoved a 1911 in (and it fits!) Really wanted to go all grey on the magazine pouches but they seemed pretty hard to get so had to substitute the Kywi for black. I saw some competition shooters in the US use Kywi's up front, and pouches with a bit of an angle towards the rear, so tried to copy that setup. Clockwise - DC universal Glock holster (QLS), DC dump pouch, DC shooter's double stack pouch, Kywi double stack pouch

Took almost a year and a lot of planning to source everything, but finally finished my grail build - the Springfield Armory Professional ---------------------------------------------- Fun fact : The late-model versions of the MEU such as the Tokyo Marui or Guarder replicas are based on this version of the 1911. The USMC took base model Springfield Professional models and modified it to fit their own requirements. These included things such as adding the lanyard loop and forward slide serrations. The photo below of an actual MEU pistol shows how the slide sports the forward serrations added by the USMC's armorers, which was cut over the "custom shop" lettering from the Springfield factory. Another interesting thing is that the slide and frame seem to be a different color. This was because the frame was the original "Black-T" finish from the factory, while the slide was refinished/parkerized after cutting the front slide serrations. I really wanted the original professional model (RS example, left), but the only similar option available without the front slide serrations was the Guarder Bureau model (RS example, right). They both are essentially the same gun, but the latter was a marketing ploy by Springfield after they won the contract for the FBI HRT's sidearm. They slathered a bunch of FBI lettering and even used FBI in the serial numbers to really let you know this was a cool gun chosen by the FBI. After about 40 or so of these were manufactured and sold as the "Bureau Model" the FBI put a hard stop for their name being used in branding. Due to this, these were extremely rare, and the RS ones can go for 5,000+ USD; I assume that Guarder chose to produce the Bureau Model instead of the bare-bones Professional due to this rarity and backstory. But still, I really wanted the original model since both the USMC's MEU and the FBI's "Bureau Model" both were based on the Professional. Which brings us back to the fun fact in the first photo: The MEU is the Professional model, with forward serrations added - This gave me an idea. If the forward serrations were skipped from being added on Guarder's MEU slide, it would be exactly what I wanted. So I pitched this idea to Guarder, with fingers crossed that they would accept something like this. And by some miracle, they accepted to do the custom order! And here it is! The only airsoft SFA professional. It was such a long project to complete I now can't exactly remember why I wanted a Professional in the first place, but extremely happy on how it came out. Everything is correct to original Pro model specs, but I never could source the magwell.. Any SOA fans out there? While researching for this project I found that Jax teller's main sidearm was also a Professional

That color combo is really nice. Shame that Guarder seems to have stepped away from making OD frames for the gen 4

Looking for a steel black mainspring housing that has an integrated magwell as shown in the attached pics. I believe Guarder and Nova produce these but I'm having a bit of trouble sourcing the new parts, or having the retailers re-stock this item; so looking to see if I can find one used. Please send me a message with details if you have something similar. Willing to pay up to MSRP depending on the condition, and don't mind some wear. If you need something to replace the part with I can also include in sale a stock TM m1911 or MEU mainspring housing that you can use in place of the sold part. Really hope I can find this here as it is the last piece I need for a custom build I am going for£100

Another jigsaw puzzle Guarder G19 - steel edition! ---------------------------------------------- Really like the forced barrel tilt and 15mm cylinder that was added in the G19 design. What I didn't really like was the velvety matte black finish that came with the steel slide, so I took a brass brush and some polishing compound and carefully carded most of it off. Not sure how this will affect the corrosion resistance (if there's any left at this point), but really like how the slide is a lighter shade of grey than the frame much like the real steel models prior to the new deep black nDLC finish. Referenced pics of heavily used police trade-in Glocks that have a worn-in tenifer/frying-pan finish and tried to match the dark grey and metallic sheen. Not quite 1:1 but still like how it turned out. Now to get some more weathering on it by using the sh*t out of it🙃 This is the Guarder finish that comes as stock. Guarder calls it "P-process" but I've read that its some form of QPQ finish. It's a flat black/dark grey and the texture feels almost parkerized. If there's any metal experts out there please educate us on what this finish is. Below is an RS example of a heavily worn police trade in gen 3. The light grey hue is more from the reflection at certain angles On a side note, a company called RST does produce a true-to-spec tenifer finished steel slide for Marui G19's (seen below) but for the price (£100 vs £1,000) I don't think you can really do better than Guarder..

Here we are again! Selling my guns just to buy more guns Trying to gather up some funds for a G19 build, so I'm looking to sell my G18c. It started life as a Tokyo Marui G18C, but at this moment there are no TM parts left on the gun other than the hop bucking and the trigger pin. The idea was to optimize the full auto fire rate as much as I could, and the modifications are heavily focused on achieving that goal. As a result the full auto speed is insane, emptying a 17 round magazine at around .5 seconds. I don't have a chrono to get the exact RPM but definitely much faster than the plastic stock version. The gun has extensive performance upgrades and has matching fully steel & stainless internals to keep up with the high cycle rate. I've modified the slide so that it will lock back when empty while short stroked, and I would recommend using "power-stroking" to release the slide rather than using the slide stop for the slide stop notch's longevity. I've also modified the frame by (1) removing finger & thumb grooves, (2) undercutting the trigger, and (3) scalloping the magazine release area. I haven't gotten around to stippling the grip yet, so please take this off my hands before I ruin it with a botched DIY stippling job 🙃 The gun is great working condition with the occasional wear and tear. It has really snappy, responsive shots on semi, and is ridiculously fun to gas up and just mag dump away on full auto. Please find the list of upgrades below. As always I've tried to organize the list into a somewhat readable format but if you have any questions please feel free to send me a PM. I'm looking to get around 6~70% of what's on the gun. Price is £550 - Includes Paypal and Royal Mail Tracked 48 *** Olight Baldr Pro R is not included. But can include in sale for £70 (Can sell separately for £120). Olight SOLD Comes with original box, picatinny rail & Glock rail adaptor and magnetic charger. Sports dual brightness settings with strobe mode & green laser. Upgrades list: Upper Guarder 7075 aluminum CNC slide Cowcow stainless guide rod Cowcow recoil buffers (w/ extra spares) Guarder loading nozzle & valve Guarder lightweight BBU Guarder lightweight aluminum auto selector (internal) Gunsmodify steel CNC SAI fire selector (external) Laylax aluminum non-tilting threaded outer barrel (11mm negative) 5KU aluminum stubby comp Gunsmodify CNC steel hop up unit Nineball 6.00 power barrel (112.5mm, stock length is 97mm.
