Mokyo Tarui G17 race gun-ish on a budget?

[frontsight]

Does anyone know of a magazine base plate that doesn't "ride up" as much as the stock TM plate?

I had this issue too when I installed a magwell. On other forums I've found that guarder baseplates (both thin and extended) can solve this issue.

I didn't want to spend any more money though so I just left it as stock and it somehow solved itself?

I think the tolerance issue was really small for me and the magwell eventually squeezed the baseplate enough to fit.

If you want to go DIY I guess you could carefully file a bevel on the top of the baseplate.. I thought of doing this but thankfully the issue solved itself

Two years later, I still haven't fielded it

It's the only rif I have, bar the mk23, to which I haven't spent a fortune on so let's change that.

Plan is to short stroke it and install a TTI hop unit.. both unnecessary but hey, who says no to shiny new things?

Unfortunately the parts choice seems a bit limited compared to platforms like the AAP or Hi-Capa, the only two short stroke kits I can source are the nineball and the CCT ones, I wonder if the latter is decent enough to spend money onto. Comments? Experiences?

I'm keeping the plastic slide for now, I don't see the point in crippling the awesome gas efficiency for "ReEeEeEealism" so there is that too.

Next, I need a holster for it, I don't trust the CTM style ones that clamp onto the trigger guard, at the same time I mailed Deadly Customs who said they won't do it unless I send them the gun, which I'm not confident in doing because I'm positive it'll get lost/seized (read stolen).. at the same time I don't want to dish out €200+ for an AMS-6S.. any recommendations?

Thirdly, I need more mags, I have these two Action Army mags that I don't use in my AAPs and wanted to convert them to TM spec, so I was thinking of replacing routers and valves. Worth it?

And lastly, I may change a thing or two in the hammer mechanism, hammer spring seems a bit tired, I'm unsure if I should buy a TM one or a CCG 140% spring, even though I already kind of know the answer to this question..

Remember to rattlecan it bright purple & yeallow for that speedyboi look.

Classic CT setup vibes, other than barrel, trigger and magwell. )

ALG Defense actually made a purple one.

If the pistol works and cycles as it should I wouldn’t mess with the hammer assembly. Wait til something brakes.

A stronger hammer spring might introduce new cycling problems and should really only be installed if the pistol is light striking.

Nice beefy mount btw! Truly horrendous
