Good morning.
I'll get to the point from the get-go as I usually end up writing a mini novel.
I am going to be putting together my own, from the ground up, pistol as my 'project' piece.
I have an Army Force Kimber metal slide and body coming. It is an upgrade for a Tokyo Mario M1911 (Kimber) GBB.
Now . . Here's where I need to be absolutely sure about the parts.
The internal and external parts for this TM Kimber M1911 are different, depending on where I look.
Some sites and people are saying that as it's based on a TM M1911, that the parts from a TM Hi-Cap 5.1 pistol are all 100% comparable. Simple drop and go switch over from the 5.1 and into this pistol. Other sources are saying that it is NOT the Hi-Cap parts that fit.
I have 3 Springfield 1911 A1 MEU's and have taken all down to 100% parts and back together again. I know what I'm doing with a 1911 and as such know the fun that comes from WE 1911, TM 1911, KJ 1911, etc etc having slightly different parts and fits and THAT'S why I need to do this right and get the right info from the start. One sight says a double stack magazine is used and another one says it's a single stack.
To that end;
Which TM pistols' parts list am I looking to use to order from please? Hi-Cap 5.1, a Warrior?, a TM R28?
I'm not being lazy by asking, I only want to do this right.
Thanks for any help / advice you can give
Tabi.
