I like the WE platform , easy to work on, parts are obtainable and affordable and there is a good range of models (when available) Imo it’s a good stepping stone into GBBR’s.

More of a mini jigsaw puzzle than custom but the only TM part of this TM G19 is the magazine body 😛

Do you have a military vehicle 🤔

Pesky hop-ups ruin all the fun 😛

Scopes on scopes here 🙃

not in my experience

I ment more the process of taking the lower apart and getting it back into the guarder frame , it’s just a bit fiddly . Filing a tab off a soft bbu is easy (to me ) in comparison . if you are slow and methodical with a clean work area and properly fitting tools it’s really very simple , if you are heavy handed , in a rush and trying to use the tip of a butter knife on screws then you will struggle .

Even if it performs well that is crazy money for a clone that when it fails you may have no one to go to with the way sellers pop up and down on Ali . you’d be better off getting something from Vortex or Holosun from a registered dealer or as said above a used genuine Eotech can be had for less (I would avoid eBay though unless you know the seller ) . Optics Warehouse often have used ones come through at fair prices .

If you are worried about doing a slide which is very simple then I’d not even entertain the lower . just my 2p.

Ok .

A little Silicone grease for orings is best .

I’m not entirely sure how compatible the WE slides are with TM , but if you are saying it’s cycling to a fashion then I’ll take your word for it . my guess , and the cheapest starting point (and you’ll likely need one anyway ) The nozzle can’t keep up with the speed of the slide so it’s just always forward during firing , you need a stronger nozzle spring .

@Skaraany links please for the RIS III rail ?

Great info @Darkmikey22, thanks for taking the time to share it

no iron sights ?

lmao , I did exactly the same thing … but I just can’t justify it . At the other end of the budget VFC are bringing a full metal officer sized pistol to the table very soon (if not out all already ) it appears to be blank and trademark free so perhaps some custom engraving might in order . I did also see a mention somewhere that it may be TM compatible ? .

A little more H&K appreciation

that’s a great build , i like that a lot

no , I don’t believe it is

Nozzle sticking in the hop unit or really sluggish ? Is the the bolt travel back and forth quicker than the nozzle can ping back with it , Strip the bolt carrier group and make sure everything is well greased and check the nozzle return spring would be my first port of call .

yes .

Built this up last week , all stock TM internals apart from an upgraded recoil spring and it was running ok but the nozzle return couldn’t keep up , and the hop rubber (original , estimated at 10yr old ) was gash , fitted a maple leaf inner & hop rubber and a nozzle return spring from an AAP01 and it’s running like a boss . New gas routers and mag valves on the way too so hopefully it’ll make a reliable warm weather plinker . And just for picture porns sake , 😛 hello , you replied while I was replying with the Sig the Beretta is a TM in a Guarder kit , original finish and modified pachmayr grips ( not by me , the front section has been cut out , rear section not installed) they’d normally come like this
