Making the Novristch Ssp1 a Little Less Shameful

Already been coerced...

5.1+HPA+0.36’s felt like I’d entered a cheat code.

Make sure you stick some tissues in your bag for when people cry over getting shot with a HPA pistol with an M4 mag lmao

I picked up an AW drum instead of the M4 mag adaptor. I think, once Kyle starts stocking them, I’ll grab a primary adaptor but until then I’m happy rattling away with my drum mag! 
 

It’s amazing how little of your body you need out of cover to snap some shots with the pistol, it really did feel like an unfair advantage

What kind of distance were you engaging from? I'm playing NPF next weekend which is quite an open field with long engagement distances. Tempted to stick my primary in but distance bothers me.

 
Honestly, I was getting better range out of my speedcat than my M14 (450/0.2) with the same 0.36 Geoff’s bbs. The M14 is on my bench in bits to work out how/why!

Outranging the AEG crowd for sure. The increase in speed and mobility and being able to keep my frame covered were the biggest advantages 

The Speedcat was registering just under 260fps with 0.36’s at about 95psi

It’s been a while since anything happened with my Hi-Capas. I’m almost tempted to say I’m happy with them.

In reality, of course I’ve got stuff on the way, but UPS is just giving Kyle the run around for now.

To assuage my boredom, I thought I’d try a couple of these. AIP Limcat Mag bumpers. Now my obvious Airsoft Autism can cool it’s jets again that the mags are “correct” - Limcat bottoms and STI trades to go with Limcat slide and STI frame. Got some Infinity ones on the way for my SV mags

It's a nightmare! I've even put him in touch with my brother in law who works in UPS logistics to try and get it pushed through for him.

Several items on that delivery I'm waiting for as well lol

I went back to the van earlier to check my messages in between games and saw! The Battlecat 4.3 is finally happening

Had an awesome game today, my Capas were behaving beautifully. The AW drum mag I bought seems to have a slow leak somewhere, nothing a bit of grease can’t solve

 
New slide, frame and some 9ball routers enroute. UPS finally let Kyle have his stuff

 
Hi there, I recently bought a novritsch ssp1, I wish to change the slide, may I know what's the brand and the model of the slide you use for this ssp1? I hate this slide because I can't use others red dot sight except the default red dot sight from novritsch original site

It’s an Airsoft Masterpiece Springfield style. There are two places in the UK for AM parts, Hi-Capa Hub and Elite Shooting Centre.

As I discovered, the Novristch doesn’t strictly stick to TM standard, so you’ll end up having to change or modify another couple of parts to get it all working. 
 

If you want to give an AM slide a go, here’s what you’ll need to do:

•The SSP1 uses a 4.3 style rear sight which won’t fit on any 5.1 slide. I assume you’ll be fitting a standard RMR mount to the slide though.

• The Blowback unit from the Novristch won’t fit any other slide without quite a bit of filing. Not the end of the world but worth taking your time over. If you can’t be bothered, CCT, AM and Elite make some really lightweight replacements that will fit straight into the new slide and the weight reduction will improve your cycling speed.

• If you end up switching out the BBU, you may have to try a few different diameter O-rings on the piston to get a good seal on the Novristch nozzle.

Its a slippery slope, you may find that you end up replacing almost all of the upper on the Novristch by the time you’re done! Airsoft Masterpiece have an awesome range of slides, so you’ll end up with something nice and unique

I see, thanks for all the pointers, yeah now I realize no wonder my ssp1 rear sight "dock" won't fits any 5.1's mount at all. I was planning to make it an ispc build Hi-Capa. Hmm now I think how stupid I was to buy ssp1 as my first gun, no doubt I'm totally a noob who think of modding this ssp1. Thanks again for replying me so quickly than I expected.

It’s very easy to get caught up on the hype train. I think very early on in this thread I had said that Novristch could sell snow to an Eskimo.

You can still make an incredibly high performance pistol out of the SSP1. Mine was actually a great performer, it just had very poor externals and fit. The hop unit is very good and the barrel seemed fine. If you were to swap out the rest of the upper, it’s pretty much job done! 
 

A non dropping outer barrel, lightweight BBU, Alu slide and potentially a 120% AIP spring set will get you a snappy capa that still makes use of the best parts of the SSP1

Haha well, they have talents on marketing, no doubt about this

Hmm so it is better to get a basic or normal hicapa to mod with their internals to get better results. Well I live in malaysia, airsoft is illegal here, so I can't even get a proper decent store here, usually getting parts from overseas (hk, Taiwan and Japan mostly) with almost double price, thanks for sharing all this knowledge
