Hi Capa Upgrades

[mogaly674]

Hi,

I have a TM Gold Match and wanting to run it on HPA.

So I'm after advice from the collective as to best upgrades to enable the Gold Match to preform better on HPA. 

It will be my first attempt at upgrading a pistol and running a pistol on HPA.

Any and all advice welcome.

Mo

How do you mean "perform better"? If you just mean perform more consistently than 144a or green gas in the winter, you genuinely don't have to do any upgrades at all on a TM Hi-Capa to run it on HPA with as long as you keep your pressures down.

As it's your first attempt at running a pistol on HPA, it may be worth seeing how you find the performance with the Hi-Capa running stock at ~80psi before looking at any other upgrades.

If you run a shorter stroke, you'll want to look at upgrading your recoil & hammer springs for example at which point you may want to do your nozzle also so you can run a slightly higher pressure.

By the time you get to ~90psi, the plastic slide will be a major limitation so that will need to be replaced with a metal one. You can also look at a new hop unit and inner barrel for improved range and accuracy.
