Those color combos are pretty sick! Could you let me know where do you get the limcat slides? I've been meaning to get in to a full-on Hi capa build but can't seem to find decent slides anywhere..

@Steveocee Hey bud, is this some sort of teaser? I can't seem to see any of the images you uploaded?

Honored! Glad that there's people who enjoy the content. Please feel free to show off your own pistols as well! Really looking forward to some inspiration from other users too

Airsoft as a hobby is like amateur stock trading - impulsively buying and regrettably selling stuff.

Thats sick. Are Western Arms still manufacturing stuff? Many many moons ago I used to have a heavyweight LAPD swat 1911 from them and remember it kicked even harder than Marui's with guarder kits.. Never should have sold it

Heard she got a... PSA : Clean steel parts before you put them on. I've noticed a lot of people just open the packaging and assemble without any cleaning. Steel airsoft parts tend to have a lot of rust caked on the finish right out of the box. Guarder seems to be the worst with this as they...

Yes! I use 242 but 243 seems to be pretty much the same strength but just with better oil tolerance.

Don't forget to show off some pics when you're done! Also, do the AM hi capa slides come with a notch inside the slide for a 1911 style barrel bushing? Been contemplating buying one for a while..

Agree with the replies above. Any TM in plastic stock form is generally pretty good. I've owned stock and metal-kitted versions of the TM Deagle and 1911 and they're great fun to plink with. But I would also add that both the Marui deagle and 1911/meu are older designs (decades I believe?) there...

Guarder has improved a lot in quality from their earlier productions, but I really would emphasize this ? There's a big "luck of the draw" component when it comes to Guarder. You could get lucky and get perfect fitting parts, but sometimes guarder parts don't even jibe with other guarder...

TRP in it's final form. Unfortunately had to sell it to balance out funds from a recent purchase. Took some pictures to remember it by before saying farewell? ------------------------------------------------------------------ Had stainless fever for a while and went buck-wild on creating an...

Yeah loctite is pretty amazing stuff! Don't use it on really small screws with small screwheads (don't ask me how I know?‍♂️). But I use it on all my 1911 / hi capa metal slides with loose sights. As loctite cures it expands a bit and sort of fills in the gaps. It's somewhat "flexible" too, so...

Get a small tube of Loctite blue (NOT red) threadlocker. It comes quite handy for a variety of purposes including setting sights. Clean the sight notch and the sight, put a tiny dab of loctite, install the sight and then let it sit for 24 hours. you can set the slide upside down on the sights...

made-to-order set of magwell-cut grips for a Springfield Pro build. Closest to the real thing I could get here in the UK.  Should darken up nicely to a deep reddish brown like cocobolo once it gets a few coats of tung oil Real-steel reference I'm going for. Still waiting on the magwell to...

My Tactical and Practical setup. Which one's your choice? And by practical I mean practical shooting; which makes it completely unwieldy and unpractical. Both weigh in at around 1kg? Olight courtesy of a fellow forum member Glock has been short-stroked with the slide stop filed back 14mm so...

How about a comp? I think it would look extra race-y with a comp sticking out? Especially with the 6 second mount. The TM hammer assembly is pretty durable, so why not spend that money on a threaded barrel (~20 ish) and a comp (~10) I have a similar issue and was looking for an answer on this...

Don't be like me... Be patient and think it over twice, thrice, four times? If I recover from this damage I might go for a full Vincent Hanna loadout haha.. Has anyone shown up to game day with a suit before?

What are the chances of this...? About a month or so ago I wanted to start a new project build of Al Pacino's 1991 in heat, then Nova comes out with the EXACT same kit for 3 times what I had in mind It has to be some glitch in the matrix or some sick joke. Contemplated all day and just went...

Ah ?‍♂️ that makes perfect sense. (Very shitty educational diagram by the way, helped it make sense a lot)

Thanks for confirming! I figured that would be an issue.. Just being picky I guess. A tighter fit slide somehow equates to quality in my mind, but like you said really doesn't improve much performance wise.
