Rlangford Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Hi guys, I’ve got a WE G 17 gen 4 and I want to upgrade it internally... I’m new to airsoft and want to know more about how the guns functions, how to upgrade it and what parts to put in.. cheers! Links would be good also.

Guest Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Internal? It’s straightforward, Maple Leaf Crazy Jet tight bore inner barrel, complete Maple Leaf hop rubber and hop unit (including wheel), Maple Leaf I- key. Pick a rubber that suits your play, set your hop-up, job done. Probably £60 ish rdb
Rlangford Posted February 28, 2018 Author Posted February 28, 2018 Thanks rocket! Any chance of links? Would be a great help!

Cheapest will be rainbow8.com, if you want a UK retailer, my go-to is fire-support, generally next day delivery
Rlangford Posted February 28, 2018 Author Posted February 28, 2018 I’m having trouble finding the hop up stuff.. not sure exactly what to buy, can you send a link?
Rlangford Posted February 28, 2018 Author Posted February 28, 2018 Hi I’m looking for an upgrade for my WE g17 blowback housing.. any suggestions?

Guest Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 What do you want? TM are excellent and fit well, or you can go mad with an ally one https://www.rainbow8.com/search?type=product&q=Blowback+housing

Rlangford Posted February 28, 2018 Author Posted February 28, 2018 Hi I’m looking for a nice looking cool slide and frame for my g17 can’t find anything! Any good websites?
Supporters Gepard Posted February 28, 2018 Supporters Posted February 28, 2018 How about a company that would engrave it with lasers? I don't know of any personally but saw something similar on Reddit not so long ago.

It's not even a unique gun or topic. Reddit has half a dozen posts about it. 1 hour ago, Rlangford said: Nice way to welcome somebody new Being new to a forum doesn't excuse the fact that you could easily search for information instead of creating a new thread expecting others to spoon feed it you just because you were too lazy to look for it yourself. It took me less than a minute to find 3 separate websites with the information you were after. Most folks here are pretty laid back and more than willing to lend a hand but then you complain when you get the answer you're looking for? How about a "Thanks @L3wisD'? Next time just expect a link for LMGTFY.
Rlangford Posted March 1, 2018 Author Posted March 1, 2018 Already had the info from another guy mate..
Rlangford Posted March 1, 2018 Author Posted March 1, 2018 Like I said I’m new to this.. so don’t know what half the parts are called.. thought forums where for people to ask for help and ask questions?
Guest Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 The trouble is, what’s new to you has been asked dozens and dozens of times by others to us. Nobody means to be unwelcoming, just frustrated. You’re right about questions, but yours is almost as bad (to us) as asking what’s the best gun. Generally etiquette dictates you read all the sticky posts when your new to any type of forum, write an introductory post, and then explain you couldn’t find what you were after and would somebody mind pointing you in the right direction. I assumed all that,
Guest Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Don’t waste your money on the WE, buy a TM and waste your money on that, I do lol
Guest Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 7 hours ago, Rlangford said: Re the Tm’s metal or plastic? Blow back housings are typically some dodgy pot metal, they are in the WE and the TM. Do you mean the loading nozzle? They’re plastic unless you intend to use CO2 a lot, then it might be worth getting an alloy one rdb
Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted March 1, 2018 Head Moderator Posted March 1, 2018 @Rlangford I have merged your topics, they are basically duplicates of the same subject.
Rlangford Posted March 1, 2018 Author Posted March 1, 2018 @rocketdogbert where did you get your slide and frame mate? Will they work with my WE? Looks cool! Cheers for the help!
Guest Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 They should do, but they are designed for the TM so no guarantees The slide is an Ace1arms copy of the real steel Salient Arms slide, the frame is GunsModify. Slude I bought used for more than the cost of a whole pistol, frame came from Rainbow8
